SC20 Announces Record Number of Teams for Annual Student Cluster Competition
September 25, 2020 by
This year’s Student Cluster Competition at SC20 will include two firsts: it will involve the most number of teams (19) in the competition’s 14-year history, and it will for the first time be held completely virtually. “This year’s Student Cluster Competition will be very different, as it will be 100 percent cloud-based,” explained SC20 SCC […]
Can Online Professional Development Courses Teach Data-Driven Decision Making?
December 13, 2018 by
MIT xPRO’s Data Science program is segmented into six modules, each lead by a faculty member with expertise, research and teaching experience in that area. After just seven weeks, learners earn an MIT Professional Certificate in Data Science. This guest post from MIT focuses on whether online professional development courses, like its xPRO Data Science program, are successful in teaching data-driven decision making.
