Complete Activity 1 before you start exploring the site. Please note that this quiz is not to gather any "correct" answer from you, but a way for you to experience and visualize data collection. 

1 - Complete the short survey

2 - Review the "Big data" results 

3 - Imagine collecting hundreds or thousands of pieces of data, for hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people. That is Big Data.

After reviewing our assessment of the Big Data and Learning Analytics topic in education, especially as it relates to the tools we currently have at hand, we would like to ask you to answer at least one of the following questions (this could be but is not limited to teaching and learning):

1. Can you think of an example in your career when having access to a large dataset and being able to filter or manipulate that dataset in order to analyze it helped you in a decision-making process?  

2. Can you think of an example in your career when you wished you had access to or the ability through technology to analyze a large dataset in such a way that would have helped guide your decision-making process in a more data driven manner.  

3. Is there a function of big data and learning analytics technology that is lacking in your workplace?  What in your opinion is a current problem that could be solved with data management and/or learning analytics technology in the near term horizon?
