The November 1 edition of Campus Technology includes the following first installment of a two-part series highlighting big data and its potential for improving student learning and success.  The article notes that in higher education, big data may be seen in two distinct contexts: 1) as a product of research institutions that are charged with gathering, managing, and curating a wide range of structured and unstructured data; and 2) as a resource for predictive analytics.  The article includes comment based off a conversation with Cole Clark, global vice president of education and research industry, Oracle, who notes that  higher education is really being pushed hard to improve student outcomes and demonstrate that the money spent on higher education is producing the kinds of outcomes everyone wants to see.  He also notes that the pressure has pushed schools to look at ways to pull meaningful data out of their SISs, LMSs, and, increasingly, social media. 

...To create more compelling marketing campaigns, best-in-class retailers are focusing on collecting psychographic data that will complement demographic information, resulting in more in-depth segmentation, according to David Dorf, Senior Director of Technology Strategy for Oracle. Mobile and social media, he revealed, are two breeding grounds for this psychographic data. "Instead of just collecting information about age, gender and income, retailers today are starting to get information from social sites around interests and opinions to obtain a better picture of consumers," Dorf told Retail TouchPoints. While this more granular approach enables retailers to target consumers and refine marketing strategies to create more relevant campaigns, messaging and offers across channels, a lot of infrastructure is required to collect and manage all of this information. "Retailers need a full-time staff that creates the marketing messages and really engages people so that they'll give up that information," Dorf noted. "Then, of course, technology is required to process the structured and non-structured data and make something of those insights."
