Abstract
The proliferation of data-driven decision making in higher education presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges. This review examines how emerging classrooms and other technologies are reshaping data collection and analysis while highlighting the potential risks of increased datafication, particularly regarding equity concerns. We analyze the complex dynamics of implementing institutional change, emphasizing leadership's crucial role in navigating stakeholder and other relationships. The review critically evaluates the balance between traditional practices and technological innovation, providing a potential path for institutions to leverage data analytics while maintaining focus on educational equity. It also underscores the importance of thoughtful implementation guidance that aligns technological capabilities with institutional goals and ethical considerations.
