ANR-Lab members held a workshop 'Education, Migration and Big Data: Experience and Research Prospects'

ANR-Lab members held a workshop 'Education, Migration and Big Data: Experience and Research Prospects'

From October 2 to 6, 2024, the workshop 'Education, Migration and Big Data: Experience and Research Prospects' was held as part of the VI International Educational Forum 'Altai-Asia 2024'. The workshop included four lessons with invited experts, each of which was dedicated to the specifics of using big data to study educational migration. Three lessons were conducted by ANR-Lab members Lika Kapustina and Anna Semenova.

Lika Kapustina led two lessons

  • 'Fundamentals of web scraping for analyzing digital traces of educational migrants.' Participants studied scraping data from the VKontakte social network using the Python language and became familiar with the capabilities of the VKontakte API.
  • 'Processing and analyzing digital traces of educational migrants.' The lesson was devoted to methods of scraping HTML pages and the capabilities of web resources in the context of analyzing migration processes.

Anna Semenova held the class 'Migration data in the space of network communications,' which was devoted to studying migration processes through the prism of network interaction.

Another lesson, 'Collection, Storage, and Processing of Big Data for Studying Educational Migration,' was conducted by Alexander Sergeevich Suleikin, CEO of Duke Technologies and research fellow at the HSE Research and Educational Laboratory of Process-Oriented Information Systems. At the lesson, participants learned about and tried out the possibilities of working with a virtual machine and big data storage methods.

The workshop also included a meeting with Vyacheslav Leonidovich Goiko, Director of the Center for Applied Big Data Analysis at Tomsk State University, and Evgeny Aleksandrovich Lokhmatov, Head of Regional Affairs at the Department of Strategic Projects at VK.

The workshop 'Education, Migration, and Big Data' became a platform for active exchange of experience and development of advanced technologies in the field of educational migration analysis, strengthening scientific cooperation between leading Russian universities.

It was a pleasure to receive an invitation from colleagues from the Mirror Laboratory of the Institute of Education and the Altai State University and to visit the Altai Territory for the first time in my life. The workshop was intense, and my colleagues and I worked together to solve emerging technical difficulties, discuss different options for collecting data and how new skills can be useful in their work. As a teacher, it is very important for me to see that the audience is involved in the lesson and responds to what we do, and this workshop was exactly such a case.

From October 2 to 6, we took part in the workshop 'Education, Migration and Big Data: Experience and Prospects of Research' as part of the VI International Educational Forum 'Altai-Asia 2024: Eurasian Educational Space – New Challenges and Best Practices'. We visited the wonderful place Belokurikha, famous for its sanatoriums and located among the mountain forests of the Altai Territory. Walks along the picturesque routes of the terrain cures with colleagues from the Altai State University and the Institute of Education (HSE University) especially contributed to scientific collaboration. In such a wonderful atmosphere, we learned to parse data together with Lika, and then there was a lecture on the basics of the network approach and the possibilities of its application in the study of migration. We thank our colleagues for such a warm welcome and interest in the activities of our laboratory and are looking forward to new reasons to meet!
