Description: Business Intelligence is a core subject in Business programs.The fields of business intelligence and analytics (including data mining) have consistently been top investment priorities and with the new capacities of self-serve, visualisations and cloud-based (web-based) technologies, organisations are becoming even more information rich. The students are introduced to current concepts, processes and technologies in business intelligence and business analytics, and will be equipped to use selected analytics, to interpret solutions to business related problems, and to provide relevant business advice. The ability of analysing and synthesising these problems is a skill which often the students struggle with in this course.
Keeping track of student engagement and performance over the first 3 weeks is critical for their success. The goal of the implementation of OnTask will increase the overall engagement in the course and a student’s performance by providing personalised feedback on weekly assessments.
