====== Course Description ======

Big Education is the convergence of Big Data in education as these are two hot topics of intense research and discussion in recent years. In particular, with the advent of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), University Open Online Course (UOOC), Small Personal Online Course (SPOC), flipped classroom, etc., these novel online courses are providing quality education to the masses, and are fueling a transformative change with the use of technology. In this talk, I plan to introduce how Big Education can produce potentially relevant and positive teaching and learning experiences for the educators and students. We will also examine some technologies, e.g., machine learning, game theory, etc., that are being used to support these changes in education. With the analytics being collected, we will be able to deliver better values to various stakeholders, e.g., identify at-risk students, help educators to teach more effectively, etc. Moreover, I will introduce a project that is being funded by the Hong Kong SAR Government named, Knowledge and Education Exchange Platform (KEEP). The KEEP portal is a knowledge aggregator and technology integrator that provides access to educational resources anytime, anywhere, on any devices to anyone.
