BIG DATA ANALYTICS TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

1. Introduction
The notable determination of this project proposal is to focus on the impact of big
data technology on the academic performance of the students of higher studies.
It is one of the increasingly used technologies in numerous industries like IT industry
as well as for personal benefits like higher studies.
This research proposal will be very much significant as compared with the other
researches as big data technology are increasingly deployed both in our society as well as in
commercial establishments. This technology has numerous benefits associated with it in
terms of keeping the raw data as well as the structured data in a systemized manner.
This proposal was incorporated after 2005, numerous business intelligence tools can
be associated with this technology as well as it can bring transparency in the entire data
management procedure.
Considering the recent IT innovations it can be said that this technology is one of the
fastest growing technology among the other technologies like Artificial Intelligence and
Cloud Computing.
2. Research project background
Improvement of academic performance
As discussed by Calli et al. (2015), data management is one of the most significant
specification provided by big data technology. This paper successfully highlighted that this
specification can be very much significant to maintain transparency in data management. The
paper suggested that higher studies usually contains both raw data and semi structured data,
each of these two categories of data can be managed, monitored and assessed using this
technology.

However as instructed by Carraher and Steinberg (2017), the introduction of the big
data technology have a few limitations associated with it in terms of the changing pattern of
studying and study material. The lecture notes, approach of the study keeps on changing
every moment and it is a serious concern regarding the introduction of the big data
technology. The paper suggested that big data technology has to be successfully evaluated on
a regular basis so that there are very less inconsistencies associated with the data management
capability required for higher studies (Selwyn 2016). The paper highlighted that online
conferences can be maintained in an organized manner using this technology as well.
Positives and negative of the technology in higher studies
As instructed by Dubey and Gunasekaran (2015), big data technology can provide
many new opportunities for the studies of higher studies. The paper suggested that the e-
learning materials are mostly semi structured in nature these semi structured data can be
easily managed using this technology. This paper also recommended that categorization of
the data of each of the subjects in the high studies can be done using system which uses big
data technology. The paper suggested that decision making is very much significant for most
of the students who are pursuing their high studies and the introduction of this technology can
have a huge impact on the decision making ability of the students.
However, as deliberated by Hogan (2019), students of the higher studies must be
aware of the limitations associated with big data technology in terms of the structural changes
of the technology. The paper emphasised the limitations of deploying big data technology in
an organised manner such as the biasedness of the use data associated with this technology.
The paper was very much significant to understand that latest educational models which are
increasingly used in the higher studies can use big data technology, at the same time it can
also be said that customised curricula of the higher studies can be huge supported by big data
