Course Description and Objectives:

This course introduces fundamental concepts, principles, and best practices in project management based on the PMI PMBOK Guide 6th edition. Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control, and close projects successfully.

This course provides
a comprehensive definition of “Big Data” and the machine learning approaches
for managing and processing them. With storage and computational power getting
significantly cheaper and faster, big data sets are increasingly available and
the need for machine learning approaches for handling big data becomes more
significant. In this course, big data harvesting and manipulating methods,
supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques (especially artificial
neural network), text data analysis and cloud computing are covered. By
completion of this course, students will gain the ability to harvest big data
from the web and process them by using supervised and unsupervised neural
networks.

This course provides an overview of the field of educational technology. Many students elect to major in Educational Technology because they enjoy the field's hands-on design and development aspects. However, Educational Technology is a broad and dynamic field that intersects many other disciplines and offers numerous opportunities for individuals with varied interests and talents. Knowing the foundations, history, perspectives, and literature in the field enables students to think more critically about their efforts and career goals. This course is intended to give you an overview of the area and help you begin to find (or further establish) your niche within it.
