OR, Analytics, and Education


The OR, Analytics, and Education SIG (OAESIG), is a forum that aims to gather academics and practitioners at the intersection of OR and Business Analytics to discuss, highlight and develop/propose effective and contemporary practices/ideas related to pedagogy, teaching, and learning within the Higher Education (HE) sector.

Within this context, particular emphasis could be placed on topics including, but not limited to:

  1. The taxonomy in a Problem-Based Learning approach (considering the extent of involvement of the tutor and the level of information needed to solve a particular problem);
  2. The gamified approach (game elements e.g., points, badges, leader boards, progress bars) to be embedded into the curriculum of a module or programme of studies;
  3. "Modules of tomorrow" to engrain an analytical mindset in future managers; the skills that a learner needs regarding data acquisition, preparation, analysis, visualization, interpretation and communication, in order to be consistent with industry trends and job prospects in the Business Analytics domain;
  4. Software for effective visualisations of the data and the associated relationships; modes of delivery; methods for assessing in an authentic way and giving effective feedback;
  5. Developing data analytics certificate programs for business majors, etc. This is expected to have a wider focus and hopefully impact to people with common interests in this particular field nationally and internationally.
  6. The application of learning analytics – the intersection of analytics and pedagogy – towards enhancing teaching and learning especially within the HE context.
