Volume
The quantity of generated and stored data. The size of the data determines the value and potential insight- and whether it can actually be considered big data or not.
Variety
The type and nature of the data. This helps people who analyze it to effectively use the resulting insight.
Velocity
In this context, the speed at which the data is generated and processed to meet the demands and challenges that lie in the path of growth and development.
Variability
Inconsistency of the data set can hamper processes to handle and manage it.

MOOC (massive open online courses) MOOCs are freely accessible and open-licensed short courses, delivered to large cohorts of learners fully online.l
massive open online course (MOOC /muːk/) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.[1] In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions among students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in distance education which were first introduced in 2006 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012.[2][3]
Early MOOCs often emphasized open-access features, such as open licensing of content, structure and learning goals, to promote the reuse and remixing of resources. Some later MOOCs use closed licenses for their course materials while maintaining free access for students.[

 Big Data
You can’t compare Big Data and Hadoop because Big Data is a problem and Hadoop Provided solution to it. Hadoop developer and Hadoop administrator are fileds of Hadoop.
Big Data is a huge collection of data as the name refers “BIG DATA”. It can’t be processed by traditional methods because the most of the data generation is unstructured form. So, Hadoop emerged as a solution to this problem.
So, let’s study in detail about Big Data and Hadoop, so that you can get a complete idea about the big data and Hadoop.
Big data is huge-volumefast-velocity, and different variety information assets that demand innovative platform for enhanced insights and decision making.
Volume refers as Scale of Data
Velocity refer as analysis of streaming data
Variety refer as Forms of Data
·         Second question arise that why we should learn Big Data
Big Data is a way to solve all the unsolved problems related to data management and handling, an earlier industry was used to live with such problems. With Big data analytics, you can unlock hidden patterns and know the 360-degree view of customers and better understand their needs.
Hadoop is an open source tool of ASF. HDFS stores the huge volume of data reliably.
Now let’s see how HDFS provided the solution
In Hadoop, HDFS splits huge files into small chunks known as blocks. These are the smallest unit of data in a filesystem. We (client and admin) do not have any control on the block like block location. Namenode decides all such things.
HDFS stores each file as blocks. However, the block size in HDFS is very large. The default size of the HDFS block is 128MB which you can configure as per your requirement. All blocks of the file are the same size except the last block, which can be either the same size or smaller. The files are split into 128 MB blocks and then stored into the Hadoop file system. The Hadoop application is responsible for distributing the data block across multiple nodes.
Now from above example where file size is 518MB suppose we are using the default configuration of block size 128MB. Then 5 blocks are created, the first four blocks will be of 128MB, but the last block will be of 6 MB size only. From the above example it clear that it is not necessary that in HDFS, each file stored should be in exact multiple of the configured block size 128mb, 256mb etc., so final block for file uses only as much space as is needed
For more detail of HDFS refer below link:
Now let’s move towards Hadoop developer and Hadoop Administrator.
Hadoop Developer
Hadoop developer jobs responsibilities are to write programs as per the system designs and must have fair knowledge about the coding and programming. Task of Hadoop developer is similar to software developer but in Big Data domain. Job of Hadoop developer also includes understanding and working to come up with solutions to problems, designing and architecting along with strong documenting skills.
Hadoop Administrator
The Hadoop Administration jobs responsibilities are similar to the System administrator job. Hadoop admin roles and responsibilities include setting up Hadoop clusters, backup, recovery and maintenance of the same. Good knowledge of hardware systems and Hadoop architecture is required by Hadoop administrator.

Ways to Measure Impact

There are various tools and methods upon which to measure the impact of an individual or their scholarship.
·         h-index:  The h-index is an index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output (J.E. Hirsch). 
·         There are several databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) that will provide an h-index for an individual based on publications indexed in the tools.  
·         Find about more about these tools and how to use them by clicking the Find Your H-index tab.
·         Citation Analysis: Is the process whereby the impact or "quality" of an article is assessed by counting the number of times other authors mention it in their work.  
·         UIC has access to a number of resources that identify cited works including: Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar.  
·         Find about more about these tools and how to use them by clicking the Citation Analysis tab.
·         Altmetrics: Altmetrics is a quantitative measure of the quality and quantity of attention that a scholarly work is receiving through social media, citations, and article downloads.  
·         Find out more about Altmetrics and tools for obtaining altmetrics data, click on the Other Metrics/ Altmetrics tab.  
·         Impact Factor:  The impact factor is a measure of the frequency in which the average article in a journal is cited in a particular year. Impact factors measure the impact of a journal, not the impact of individual articles.  
·         Find out more about the impact factor and tools that measure/ rank journals within specific disciplines, click the Journal Impact Factor tab.  

About Citation Analysis

What is Citation Analysis?
The process whereby the impact or "quality" of an article is assessed by counting the number of times other authors mention it in their work.
Citation analysis invovles counting the number of times an article is cited by other works to measure the impact of a publicaton or author.  The caviat however, there is no single citation analysis tools that collects all publications and their cited references.  For a thorough analysis of the impact of an author or a publication, one needs to look in multiple databases to find all possible cited references. A number of resources are available at UIC that identify cited works including: Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and other databases with limited citation data.

Citation Analysis - Why use it?

To find out how much impact a particular article or author has had, by showing which other authors cited the work within their own papers.  The H-Index is one specific method utilizing citation analysis to determine an individuals impact.


Web 1.0 is one way interaction such web site where you read only a content but not like or comment on them. where users passively receive information without being given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and feedback
Web 2.0 is two way interaction such as where you like the video, comment. Web 2.0 encourages participation, collaboration, and information sharing. Youtube, Wiki, Flickr, Facebook, (O'Reilly, 2005)
Web 1.0 is three way interaction  such as where you live calling , live video watch them. interactive services, and “machine-to-machine” interaction. One example of Web 3.0 is Tivo, a digital video recorder. Its recording program can search the web and read what it finds to you based on your preferences. as AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence.

The term "Library 2.0" was coined by Michael Casey 

Library 2.0 (L2) is a transformation in the way library services are delivered to library users. It provides new tools to make the library space (both virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative and driven by community needs. It encourages collaborative two-way social interactions between library staff and library customers. L2 requires user participation and feedback in the development and maintenence of library services. Opac ,oclc
The phrase was coined by Michael Casey in his blog, LibraryCrunch, in 2005, although the concepts that collectively make up "Library 2.0" existed well before then. The term was a spinoff of "Web 2.0" which had been coined by O'Reilly Media.
