One of the real benefits of data science in education is that it offers an optimal and personalized learning experience that is tailored to the individual needs of each student.
In education, the practice of using data and learning analytics to drive decision making is rapidly being adopted. Despite being a practice that is still in development, administrators and teachers around the world are increasingly looking for information to help them make better decisions and meet goals.
Although personalized learning is one of the most exciting benefits of data-driven technologies and learning analytics, institutions must understand the differences between personalized learning and prescriptive learning, and ensure that both faculty and students explore a wide range of skills.
HData would assist you with the collection and analysis of essential data in the education sector

Using the collected data efficiently
Because there is so much data available, you end up using only a fraction of the collected learning data. This data includes a wide variety of information, such as engagement data, time spent on task, performance in activities and achievements. And everything should be analyzed in the context of the student and considering their specific circumstances and needs.
Any special assistance situation, disability, cultural differences and other influencing factors should always be considered.
Data on their own are not very valuable and can be easily misinterpreted. When we consider the context, apply objectives and strategies, and evaluate those elements, the data becomes valuable information and knowledge that allows us to take actions to achieve results.
