Hi Tariq, big data analytics is one of the underlying trends in software development that can show benefit by extending learning applications to include visualization of learners and their performance. Your description of the topic and its applicability is well done. I think you are right that there are opportunities for companies to form partnerships and leverage big data to create efficiency in delivering and managing learning. I wonder how smaller companies could compete against such major players forming partnerships such as IBM and Desire 2 Learn?

It is truly exciting to think about all the potential in this area - starting with the simplest form of using analytics for formative assessment. An instructor can learn a lot about their students if they just ask them, which they don't often see the need to do. This knowledge can be valuable in customizing the content to the knowledge level of the target students. Excellent job Tariq! Lots of information here.

Well done Tariq! Your video starts off with an excellent introduction to gain your audience's attention. You effectively use visual tools to support your audio content, such as blurring the background and then focussing in to highlight your point on getting more clarity about a situation.
