What Professors Can Learn From 'Hard Core' MOOC Students - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Mon May 20 13:42:00 +0000 2013

"Nearly 100 students using Coursera, the largest provider of MOOCs, have completed 20 or more courses. And more than 900 students have finished 10 or more courses, according to the company. That means taking several courses at a time, and racing through as many lecture videos and robot-graded assignments as possible to collect certificates that carry no official credit. The term "MOOCs" is meant to parallel the video-game acronym "MMOGs," or massively multiplayer online games—collaborative worlds, like World of Warcraft, that have attracted millions of devoted players around the world. So perhaps it is no surprise that some MOOC students are driven to win as many certificates as possible and treat online lectures as a consuming pastime that keeps them from going outside to hang out with friends."

The Rise of the Data Scientist: Recap of IBM Twitter chat

Mon May 20 12:25:30 +0000 2013

"On Thursday, May 9, I participated in an IBM Twitter chat with analysts, influencers, thought leaders, fellow IBMers and others on the topic of the rise of data scientists in the business and other applications of big-data analytics. The event used hashtag #cloudchat. Here are highlights from the discussion"

Annotations:

A data scientist uses statistical analysis to uncover non-obvious patterns in data sets
People have been crunching numbers, engineering and analyzing for a long time, but data scientists combine these skills.
The rise of sensor driven data & other inputs has created demand for people with analytical & stat skills & tools to derive value
Best data scientists should have both the stat/predictive analysis skills and subject-matter domain expertise
math, code, curiosity+communication.
probability & statistics are fundamentals
training for data scientists should include some semantic web and linked data experience
today it requires programming skills, hence scarcity. Future = improved tools making analysis available to broader audience.
Tomorrow’s data scientists might rule the world… seriously trend identification and prediction can impact all industries.
“Data science is a creative discipline. It’s knowing how to take intuition and put rigor around it that wins
context and domain knowledge guide the process. without it, there is no hypothesis.”
