Data analytics has become increasingly important in higher education as it helps institutions understand student behaviors, preferences, and learning outcomes. However, traditional on-premise data analytics systems can be expensive, time-consuming, and lack scalability. Fortunately, cloud-based solutions, such as data lakes, can help institutions overcome these challenges and provide them with more accurate and actionable insights into their student body.
Learn how Canadian education institutions can leverage cloud-based solutions to:
- Improve student analytics
- Analyze student engagement with online learning tools
- Aggregate student feedback through sentiment analysis
