In this talk I'll introduce the audience to the issues of predictive modelling and identify how it is poised to enable personalized learning at scale. I'll contrast predictive analytic techniques with descriptive inferential techniques, and identify some specific opportunities in higher education for predictive modelling to have significant impact. I'll share some of my own experiments in the area, and conclude with some of the challenges facing educational technology researchers as we move towards more personalized learning ecosystems.
