“Big Data includes huge volume, high velocity and extensible variety of data, both structured and unstructured. Analysis and examination of this data plays a big role in making a better decisions and lead to strategic business moves. In this research, we are focusing on analysis of Moodle e-learning platform database with aim of improving the educational process. Using the concept of learning analytics we are trying to better understand teaching and learning processes in order to get as much as possible from educators and learners which are the main actors in the mentioned activities. The standard procedures that are specific to the databases will take a lot more time to do this. To facilitate this process, big data processing tools are used. Here, we also present the possibility of analyzing big data in the cloud. For the purpose of this research, we developed a framework for big data analysis.”
