School Closures and their Impact on Students

Canada’s Higher Education Institutions are Moving to the Cloud
With last week’s announcement of Oracle setting up its own Canadian cloud service -this, following in the footsteps of Google (2018), AWS (2017), Azure (2016) and IBM (2015), it got me thinking how Canadian colleges and Universities have progressed in terms of moving their systems to the cloud.

The U.S. is not actually dominating university rankings. Here’s why.
I’m always amazed by the amount of institutions that the United States has in the top 100, 200, 300 or 400 of World university rankings. It always has more than any other country.

8 World University Rankings – Side by Side 2013
As stated in the post I published 6 months ago (9 World University Rankings – Side by Side), the different world university rankings are somewhat controversial. Their methodology are often dissected to show flaws, and universities often dislike them because of the influence they have come to wield. Not one ranking has been hailed as…

Alexa vs World University rankings
I was looking at Alexa’s Traffic Rank and how it allows you to compare websites. This got me thinking that evaluating a URL is a bit like evaluating an university or a college. You can compare its popularity, reference, credibility, incoming links, or measure its relative importance, influence, citations, etc. So I decided to compare…

Canheit – Technology used in Canadian Institutions
As promised in my first Canheit tribute post, I have created a second vizualisation based on technology used by Canadian higher education institutions (colleges and universities). The following viz has 5 main graphs, each representing a different category. The size of each bubble represents the percentage for each system used compared the other systems in…

Canadian HigherEd Institutions
Since CANHEIT 2013 is being held in Ottawa and co-hosted by Carleton University and the great University of Ottawa (that’s right, I’m biased), I decided to do a few vizualisations about our Canadian HigherEd institutions. In this first vizualisation, I’m hopping to show general characteristics about our Canadian institutions. The next ones will be more…
