• DSA 6200: Data Visualization

  3.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools are unable to handle the Big Data challenge due to exponential growth of data volume, velocity and variety. To cope up with this new demand, organizations are embracing new techniques like data visualization which involves data discovery and exploration. Technology giants like Amazon, Facebook, Google, Netflix use powerful data visualization tools to gain customer insights on their choices and apply them into their service offerings. Organizations are able to ask better questions and derive better decisions. This introductory course will teach students how organizations can harness the power of Big Data through data visualization. Students will learn how to capture data in visual format for better decisions using data viz tools like SAS, Tableau. Prerequisite: DA 555.

• ECED 5000: Child Development

  3.00 Credits

  Pennsylvania Western University

  
  This online course provides teachers with the opportunity to review recent research and theory concerning advanced child growth and development. The course examines the nature and process of child development with a focus on infancy and early childhood years. The primary goal of the course is the integration of information generated from empirical research, both classic and current, into explanatory systems (theories) of child development. The emphasis in this course is less on learning the facts of child development and more on learning why child development research is conducted (theories), how it is conducted (methodology), what it means for the field (conclusions) and how research is evaluated (critical thinking).
