E Learning Edge and Data Analytics

by Albert Anthony D. Gavino, MBA

I just attended a free session on E-Learning Edge: Data Analytics 102, (with the help of our good Marketing Expert Adolfo Aran III) we looked around and there were around 15 to 20 participants. Our speaker had a background in Statistics and MBA and discussed the basics of Data Analytics which involves the following:

• Information
• Statistics
• Technology
• Strategy
• Communication

First of all Data analytics doesn't come with a push of a button, it involves proper problem statement of cases, it involves cleaning up of databases, it involves using Statistical Software and lastly involves a proper reporting to its stakeholders such as Infographics. Models such as CHAID, Decision Trees and Logisitic Regression Models are all scientific, but at the end of the day its our stakeholders who we need to communicate with. 

What are the resources that you need?

1. Statistical software such as SPSS or SAS
2. a Data Warehouse that is up and running
3. Research Oriented people who have a background in Statistics
4. Marketing people who know how to shape the info into Palatable content
5. and Lastly shareholders who know how to use Technology 

The Data Mining Industry or Business Intelligence, data analytics are shaping the Information Technology Industry with concepts such as Big Data, use of hardware such as Terabytes, Cloud computing with the entry of Google Drive and even Aggressive marketing with Data ads targeted at customers by which Facebook, LinkedIn have now been using.

Always keep in mind that the Innovation with Data Mining is exponentially growing at a fast rate and we now have new careers right in front of us.
