Abstract
In higher education, the demand for improved information in relation to educational and learning outcomes is greater than ever before. Leveraging technology, new models of education have emerged that are not only improving modes of lecture delivery and information retention, but also generating huge amounts of data. This data is potentially a gold mine that needs to be explored to uncover patterns associated with student behavior and how information is processed, retained and used by the students. This chapter proposes a generic model that uses the techniques of educational data mining to explore and analyze Big Data being generated by the education sector. This chapter also examines the various questions that can be answered using educational data mining methods and how the discovered patterns can be used to enrich the learning experience of a student as well as help teachers make pedagogical decisions.
