    Digital media and the Internet are transforming how young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life. A newly-created Digital Media and Learning Research Hub located at the University of California-Irvine will provide an international center to nurture exploration of and build evidence around the impact of digital media on young people's learning and its potential for transforming education. Funded through a $2.97 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T.

Business Intelligence (BI) Polishes Its Crystal Ball - 0 views

  • carol ellerbeck
     
    Many enterprises deploy siloed traditional BI and advanced analytics environments through fragmented, departmental, and tactical initiatives. In addition, vendors typically offer spotty or nonexistent integration among advanced analytics and BI solutions. But large BI vendors are pulling together deeper advanced analytics strategies - a trend strongly confirmed by IBM's recently announced plan to acquire SPSS. Forrester believes this strategic trend will continue, and will benefit business process and application (BP&A) and information and knowledge management (I&KM) professionals seeking to build integrated traditional and advanced (predictive) BI applications.

Search + BI = Unified Information Access - 0 views

  • carol ellerbeck

The technology is quite close to being able to capture the linkages needed to help decision-makers avoid mistakes like the ones we described in the opening scenario and make more insightful, effective decisions. The convergence of BI and search will help bridge the artificial system boundaries between structured data and unstructured content. It will not only affect the interfaces we use to search for, discover, analyze, and report on what we need to know, but help us learn more about what we don't know.
