An Architectural Model for Integrating Big Data in Educational Information Systems

We live in an era of big data that has overwhelmed most of our society and organizations. Companies would benefit from this big data, but information systems that support companies hamper its use. In this paper, we present an architectural model for integrating big data into educational information systems. The model is based on the urbanization paradigm that city planners use when creating new cities or renovating existing ones. The model is illustrated at two levels of architecture, highlighting the refinement from one level to the next using the urbanization paradigm.
