To detect students at high drop-out risk early and intervene them effectively, utilizing the educational big data can be useful. In this paper,...
For tuning education programs in the higher education, we should identify the status of courses (lectures) in education programs provided by target institutes such as graduate schools, or domestic and international universities relevant to target discipline. As a trial, we chose the courses relevant to environmental science in Hokkaido University, one of the 11 leading research universities in Japan...
University evaluation is mandated by the School Education Act and the National University Cooperation Act. Universities are currently required to conduct self-assessments and improvements as university organizations.

The applications on big data storage and analysis to extract useful information are getting more mature, but the development and operations in educational industry are yet to be strengthened. This study aims to explore the learning data from its original e-learning platform, connecting employment data and school learning records for analysis and mining.
In the era of big data, analytics plays a crucial role in the educational domain. In this paper, we design a framework to explore the value of a data-driven decision making process. Curriculum design at the departmental level is chosen as an example to illustrate the whole system and process.

Despite these hurdles, with improved data governance and availability, a team with the right skills and outlook, and the support of senior leadership, the transition from a more traditional institutional research function to one representing a data science...
We have developed a web-based survey system cooperating with the authentication server of the university. This system has functions to enhance institutional research, such as displaying response rates by each departments of the university. The present study provides an overview and a case study of the use of this system.
We propose the concept and design of a system for visualization of university's Web presence. Using tweets obtained by university names as search keywords, we analyzed the frequency and specificity of terms to propose five categories for those terms. Moreover, we summarized tweets into classifications of tweets on universities. By way of both term analysis and philological analysis, we propose ten...
