Big Data in Education

If we were to talk about the one aspect of Big Data that is essential in education, that would be 'Veracity'. Veracity is the aspect where the credibility of a particular data is being verified. Veracity aims to remove bias, flaws, inconsistencies and even duplications where originality which is a crucial requirement for education. This aspect brings with it the ability to monitor education systems in this context. Like for example, in my university they would use softwares or even the uploading platforms to detect plagiarism which is an outrage to originality in the students' work.
