New Instructional Models for Building Effective Curricula on Cloud Computing Technologies and Engineering

Abstract

Abstract-

Experience of Profiling Curricula on Cloud Computing Technologies and Engineering for Different Target Groups

“…The presented paper extends and updates previously published paper by the authors [3] with the new results and experience. The curriculum design approach outlined here presents a basis for building complete set of courses in Cloud Computing, aimed at the cloud/IT architects, project managers, technical product planners, consultants, or engineers, as well as using different educational media such as face to face lectures/teaching, online education, and selftraining.…”

“…Refer to the previous authors work [3] for the suggested mapping between Bloom's Taxonomy and required professional activity knowledge/skills and for discussion about using Bloom's Taxonomy for constructing discussion and test questions to facilitate the different cognitive learning levels and…”

Usability of Cloud Computing to Improve Higher Education

“…Common Body of Knowledge in Cloud Computing (CBKCC) is an approach to design advanced education and training course on cloud computing [13]. We need a strong technical foundation to build the course materials and different professional group in cloud computing.…”

Instructional Model for Building Effective Big Data Curricula for Online and Campus Education

“…The CBK should be mapped to the skills and competencies model to define the curriculum profile that responds to the needs of the specific community or stakeholder groups. The O'Reilly Strata industry research [4] defines the four Data Scientist profession profiles and their mapping to the basic set of technology domains and competencies as shown in Figure 2. [8] There are few known projects and community activities attempting to develop a consistent competency taxonomy for Data Science and data preservation community such as HPC University in US [11,12], APARSEN (Association Permanent Archives) [13].…”

“…There is a growing demand for new type of specialists with strong technical background and deep knowledge of the Big Data technologies what actually can be identified a new profession of the Data Scientist [4]. However, there is no widely available the Data Science professional education and general Big Data training programs as well as there is no common approach to how to effectively build professional level Big Data curricula.…”
