MOOC Watch: New free online course explains big data - Tim Dodd, AFR

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is launching four free courses on big data with the UK-based massive open online course (MOOC) provider FutureLearn. The four short courses, each requiring only four hours study over two weeks, are from the university's Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers. The first course, From Data to Decisions, starting on April 4 explores case studies of using the power of big data to reach decisions, and introduces the tools to store and manage large data sets. http://www.afr.com/technology/apps/education/mooc-watch-new-free-online-course-explains-big-data-20160310-gnfxbx
