Leveraging Big Data Analytics to Enhance E-learning Services

Abstract

In the digital age, e-learning platforms generate vast data, presenting a unique opportunity to reshape the educational landscape. This paper explores how big data analytics can be leveraged to enhance e-learning services. Through analyzing student interactions, behavioural patterns, and learning trajectories, big data offers the potential to create personalized learning experiences tailored to individual needs. Furthermore, predictive analytics can identify and support at-risk students, optimizing retention rates. The paper also acknowledges the challenges in implementing big data solutions, including data privacy concerns, technical integration complexities, and the need for pedagogical expertise in interpreting results. Despite these challenges, integrating big data analytics in e-learning is poised to revolutionize online education, fostering a more responsive, efficient, and student-centred learning environment.
