The way people learn has radically changed as a result of information technology. As an informal method of learning, fragmented learning has become a popular way to learn new technology and expertise. Academic organizations generate a large amount of heterogeneous data, and academic leaders want to make the most of it by analyzing the large amount of data in order to make better decisions. The volume isn't the only issue; the organization's data structure (structured, semi structured, and unstructured) adds to the complexity of academic work and decision-making on a daily basis. As big data has become more prevalent in educational settings, new data-driven techniques to enhance informed decision-making and efforts to improve educational efficacy have emerged. Traditional data sources and approaches were previously too expensive to obtain with digital traces of student behaviour, which offer more scalable and finer-grained comprehension and support of learning processes. This study provides a fragmented learning solution for students in a data environment that can suggest subjects to them based on their geographical location, gender, and district of residence, among other factors. This suggested framework is expected to play a key role in directing the development of a society that values lifelong learning.

“…As a result, universities urgently need to prepare their accounting graduates with relevant skills, especially digital skills such as BDA. There has been minimal discussion of the cognitive skills that accountants need for efficient BDA; this lack of debate is primarily due to a lack of research in this area (Dalwai et al, 2021). Hence, this study examined the BDA knowledge and skills required by accounting graduates in dealing with a data-driven business environment to better prepare them in the continuously evolving IR4.0.…”

This study examined big data analytics (BDA) knowledge and skills required in the accounting profession to better prepare future accounting graduates for the continuously evolving Industrial Revolution 4.0. We used inductive reasoning and the qualitative methodology. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews with accounting educators and practitioners in selected public universities in Malaysia. Findings showed that both BDA knowledge and skills are required to complement traditional accounting knowledge and skills in preparing future accountants to embrace developments in BDA. This study proposed a new typology of skills for 21 st century accounting graduates, consisting of visualization, collaboration, analytical and predictive skills. The findings underscore the need for higher learning institutions to emphasise these skills in their accounting curriculum. This study will provide valuable input for higher learning institutions and professional bodies in developing their accounting curriculum for quality education that meets the challenges of the new digital era.
