The proliferation of digital devices in higher education institutions, coupled with Internet of Everything (IoE) technologies, drives the adoption of big data analytics for informed decision-making within smart universities. To examine the Internet of Educational Things (IoET) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) in higher education, a systematic literature review explores various BDA methods and their benefits, including targeted course offerings, personalized learning, and employment opportunities post-education. Additionally, innovative business processes and BDA techniques enhance organizational cultures within emerging economies. However, challenges exist regarding data tracking, collection, storage, analysis, interpretation, the tenuous connection between data sciences and network sciences, alongside security, privacy, and ethical concerns. The report underscores the need to advance the analytical skills of all stakeholders- including decision-makers, administrators at different levels, course developers, and students- not just faculty, within smart universities to effectively apply various advanced BDA techniques that leverage large educational datasets for informed, data-driven decision-making in a competitive global market.
