[aaykarbhavan] BIG DATA

Big data !nally arrives to corporate training

It's 2015; analytics and dashboards are now integrated throughout the company. Adaptive 

learning has introduced big data to learning management and with that turned training and 

education from a black box into a transparent, evidence-driven process ¹⁰.

Relevant learning data points are now captured with high precision, from individual exercises 

to the overall activity patterns, aggregated, dynamically analysed, and turned into analytics, 

visualisations and dashboards that bring insights to authors, managers, administrators, and the 

learners themselves.

Learners receive continuous feedback throughout the learning process – the training software 

allows them to track their own progress, compare themselves against their peers, or review 

areas they seem to have particular strengths and weaknesses in. In addition, the software helps 

them better fit learning activities into their busy schedules, e.g. suggesting that they learn most 

effectively early afternoon.

Course authors automatically get anonymised feedback from learners on anything from individual 

exercises to their courses overall. Even more importantly, authors' activity dashboards give them 

insight into how exactly learners use their courses. The dashboards show how learners spend 

their time across the course, common mistakes, and frequent misconceptions. These can be 

used by the authors to fix problems or improve courses, with the changes propagated to the 

learners automatically – in real time. 

Managers, similarly to authors, get access to a variety of dashboards and visualisations – theirs are, 

however, tailored to answer a different set of questions. Whereas authors want to know how to 

make their course better, managers care about understanding the strengths and weaknesses of 

their staff, and how to help them get better.

Thus, analytical tools for management answer questions such as: are there patterns of missing 

skills in our workforce? What's the biggest limiting factor for career progression for this person, 

or people in our company in general? Do our staff have any misconceptions or gaps that are 

impacting productivity, safety, or security?
