Learning With Big Data (Kindle Single) Quotes

“Learning with big data brings three main changes. We can collect feedback data that was impractical or impossible to amass before. We can individualize learning, tailoring it not to a cohort of similar students, but to the individual student’s needs. And we can use probabilistic predictions to optimize what they learn, when they learn, and how they learn.”

“In the twentieth century, education was the great equalizer. Now, with big data, there is a risk that our predictions of potential outcomes, probabilistic outcomes, may make education the setting that widens inequalities.”
