The document outlines a curriculum for data science aimed at professionals, emphasizing a constructivist approach where students develop their own programs with adequate support. It highlights the importance of diversity, citizen engagement, and the use of e-learning methods alongside big data infrastructures to enhance educational experiences. The author envisions an open online data science lab that provides learning resources, datasets, and tools for effective education.
Data Science Curriculum for Professionals
- 1. BIG Public Private Forum Data Science Curriculum for Professionals John Domingue, KMi, The Open University & STI International Dublin, April 2013 10.04.2013 1
- 3. Euclid 10.04.2013 3
- 5. Teaching semantic programming since late 70s • Developed own languages, a nd environments • 500 – 1000 students per year 10.04.2013 5
- 6. ISSUES AND LESSONS LEARNT 10.04.2013 6
- 7. Crowd-sourced real-time radiation monitoring
- 8. 10.04.2013 8
- 9. 10.04.2013 9
- 10. Who to Train? Diversity; citizen engagement; empowerment; avoiding disenfranchisement; understanding privacy issues 10.04.2013 10
- 11. Constructivist Approach • Students create their own programs • Non-computer scientists are able to do this with the right hand-holding 10.04.2013 11
- 12. Coherent Easy-to-use environments 10.04.2013 12
- 14. Cradle-to-Grave 10.04.2013 14
- 15. Differences today • Constructivist, immersive study easier since necessary computational resources and test data easily available • eLearning approaches (MOOC-style or not) can fit with Big Data infrastructures – tutor-student, peer-to-peer, historical collaborations all possible • Big Data can also support learning – Learning analytics allow tuning of teaching – Linked Data/Open Data enable discovery and use of available Open Educational Resources 10.04.2013 15
- 16. Final Thought • Imagine an open online Data Science Lab – Repository for available learning materials – Educationally significant datasets – Computational resources – Programming tools – Learning dialogues between educationalists, tutors and students 10.04.2013 16
