"Today, half of students quit college before earning a credential. Proponents [of data-mining] feel that making better use of data to inform decisions, known as 'analytics,' can help solve that problem while also improving teaching." Before students even enter the classroom, twenty-first century professors can assess student learning processes and change in-class motivation by utilizing data, often provided in real time, to influence classroom pedagogy, to tailor learning to each student's experience and learning style."
