Turning Big Data Analytics into Personal Student Data

Tuesday, February 05, 2013 | 11:00AM–1:00PM | Plaza Exhibit
Session Type: Professional Development

The Department of Education's MyData Button, along with Lone Star College System's Educational Positioning System (EPS), transforms big data into personal data that navigates students toward a career. This innovation allows 80,000,000 U.S. students to track, position, and navigate their personal educational journey using their personal data. FedEx and UPS have mastered the art of navigating and tracking billions of critical parcels across the landscape of the world, to move at the speed of business. Mapping education-2-careers at a personal level allows students to coin their own term—moving toward my career at the new speed of education.
