Further information for teachers and assessors
Resource requirements
For this unit, learners must have access to:
•
a wide range of research resources, largely text and internet based. There are
many free-to-use large data sets available
•
at least two different pre-selected data sets (one for learning aim B, the other
for learning aim C)
•
industry standard software, such as spreadsheets and specialist software,
e.g. JMP, MATLAB® and access to sufficient secure storage space to complete
the analysis.
Essential information for assessment decisions
Learning aim A
For Distinction standard,
learners will present a balanced evaluation of the reasons
why organisations use business analytics and the benefits that
they may bring, drawing
comparisons between the uses in different organisations. They will detail the ethical
and legislative factors that govern the gathering of, access to and storage of data.
For example, they will compare requirements stated in local data protection legislation
(plus amendments) and similar European legislation such as the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). Learners will evaluate the types of data and sources available to
organisations. For example, they will distinguish between the benefits and challenges
of using structured and non-structured, internal and external, and qualitative and
quantitative data. Learners will evaluate the infrastructure challenges faced by
organisations that use and process big data. For example, they will justify the reasons for
infrastructure choices based on the volume, variety and velocity of data. Learners will
evaluate the use of different types of business analytics, the type of information they
may generate and detail practical ways in which organisations may use that information.
For example, they will make valid, accurate and relevant judgements on the usefulness
of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics and
give examples of
where each could be used in a real-world application. Learners will detail the benefits
and challenges to organisations that may arise from the collection, storage and analysis
of organisational data, with particular reference to big data. For example, they will
extend their evaluation of benefits and challenges beyond the legal and ethical issues to
others such as deliberate attacks on systems (hacking), inadequate password protection
or with encryption, insecure processes, and/or lack of IT system maintenance.
Overall, the evidence will be logically structured and use correct technical terms with
a high
standard of written language, including the consistent use of correct grammar
and spelling.
