Data Mining and Knowledge Management in Higher Education - Potential Applications
Overview This paper introduces a brand new and powerful decision support tool, data mining, in the context of knowledge management. Among other things, the most striking features of data mining techniques are clustering and prediction. The clustering aspect of data mining offers comprehensive characteristics analysis of students, while the predicting function estimates the likelihood for a variety of outcomes of them, such as transferability, persistence, retention and success in classes. Compared to traditional analytical studies that are often hindsight and aggregate, data mining is forward looking and is oriented to individual students.
