TASK 1 – Case Study & Questions
Big Data and role
Data can be in the form of a quantity character symbol by which computer perform various
operations which may be stored or transmitted in the form of electromagnetic signals. A term big
was added with the data which transformed into a new concept known as a big data that is the
collection of huge volume data which is growing exponentially with the time (Wiggins and et.
al., 2020) . The big letters are so large in volume and are so complex that the traditional methods
of managing the data and not able to store a process them efficiently due to its huge size. Big
data is the most common word these days which basically means the information in the large
size. Big data is the set of data in the high magnitude. The best method to describe the big data is
using six V’s that are discussed below:
 Volume: The main characteristic of the big data is its size and sheet volume. Volume is
defines the relationship between the size and the processing capacity of the big data. The
volume of the data keeps on changing as the data collection continues to add rapidly.
 Variety: the variety represents the broad range of variety of data that is been stored and is
required to be processed and analysed. Variety means the heterogeneous sources and the
nature of data can be structured or unstructured. For example in the organisation the data
is in the form of emails, photos, videos, text messages, spreadsheets, PDF, audio etc. it
defines the variety of data.
 Velocity: The velocity defines the speed to generate the data. Velocity refers how fast a
data can be generated and processed in order to meet the potential in the data. The
outstanding velocity helps in continuous and massive flow of data.
 Value: The value of data defines what worth a big data can provide when it is processed
and analysed. Data is of no use until and unless it is turned into the value data which can
be utilised to get the benefits (Trewin, 2020).
 Veracity: The veracity is the term that defines the quality and the origin of the data which
helps in considering how questionable impair information is being gathered. Hence, the
basically veracity is the trustworthiness of the data.

 Variability: Variability is it term that refers to the changes in the formation of data in a
particular period of a time. In simple words the constantly changing of big data in order
to change its meaning is one of the characteristic of the big data.
After, analysing the above V's of the big data it is critically evaluated that the role of big data
in the Arden University is within the two departments the first is registration or reception
department and second in IT department.
There is large amount of data of students and teachers in the Arden University that is
required to be maintained stored and analysed at the various situations for which the term big
data is utilised by the reception department in order to store the large volume and variety of
the data.
The IT department of Arden University have a large volume of data related to the software is
installed number of computers and other input and output devices that are data begin size to
be maintained by the traditional method therefore there is a big role of big data in storing,
analysing and processing of the data information’s of the IT department (Kayikci and et. al.,
2020).
Benefits of big data
The implementation of the adoption of big data processing in the ordinary University
provides the university with the various benefits which helps in improving the operational
efficiency as well as creating the outside intelligence then that helps in making the decisions
within the university regarding the student’s growth and opportunities (Rinta-Möykky, 2020).
Some of the benefits that Arden University will gain by adopting big data are discuss below:
Big Data in University can target the students for the scholarship that can provide the worth to
the university. Many students those are not financially active and require the scholarship in order
to complete their education and higher education for which many universities provide
scholarship by conducting some test by which students can prove their worth. For this University
can utilise the concept of big data to identify potential students and their performance in the test
who can fully utilise the benefits of scholarship and contribute their hard work for the betterment
of the Arden University.
Arden University can use the big data in order to identify the institutional problems as well as to
identify the possibilities for the positive change among the university that will help in more
student retention and targeting the specific amount of students that can provide the worth and
