Discover Online Learning Platforms
In every month's Newsletter, we showcase one of our reviewed Online Learning Platforms to help you discover the best platforms for your needs.
Big Data University is an IBM initiative to spread big data literacy by providing free access to online courses covering practical skills for working with data. The courses follow the “learn any time” delivery model with no time restrictions to complete them.
As well as offering course completion certificates, The Big Data University also awards IBM recognized IBM Open Digital Badges at different levels showing the progression of your skills, including the option to gain "ID validated" badges for added recognition. Completion Certificates are offered for any course that is passed. Badges, however, show progression and are only offered after passing different requirements. In many situations, learners will receive both a badge and a completion certificate. These can be displayed on your LinkedIn profile, your site, other social media sites, or even in your email signature.
