In particular, the upgraded MS program places a strong emphasis on data analytics, where all students in the program get an intensive training in data analytics foundation in our core courses. Students can then continue with advanced work in the Analytics Track to receive deeper theoretical knowledge in the field. In this paper, we report our experience of offering this analytics-centric curriculum over the past two years. We first formally define four pillars of analytics and trace the skills needed to support each pillar and the courses that provide those skills. We then describe the course experiences through a sampling of the projects completed by students in their course work. We also provide some student feedback on the course experience. We conclude with a discussion of the capstone experience and a sampling of capstone projects. We show the movement toward analytics in the capstone experiences, particularly since the program began in 2013. The positive course experience and the fast increasing number of capstone projects in the analytics area show strong evidence about the initial success of the analytics-centric curriculum.","PeriodicalId":431742,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th Annual Conference on Information Technology Education","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129914931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, some issues can emerge when trying to introduce CT into schools; for example, teachers might not be willing to add topics to their intensive syllabi. Therefore, out-of-school venues such as summer schools can be considered a great opportunity for exposure to CT. Moreover, summer schools allow students to meet first hand researchers and help them pursue their interest far from the regular school climate. High school students in general are very curious for the creation of mobile apps; however, most of them get discouraged because they perceive this activity as a very difficult task. Here we describe the MobileDev summer school, a one-week training and hands-on experience in current topics of software development for mobile devices. The curiosity of the students for developing mobile apps is used to introduce and train CT via programming mobile applications through exercises (also with \"pen and paper'\") of increasing difficulty. The school was repeated twice at our university and was targeted to a reduced class of students concluding the third and the fourth year of high school. Participants were in total 19 and coming from different types of schools. This paper describes the structure of MobileDev and discusses the results to provide directions for further research.","PeriodicalId":431742,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th Annual Conference on Information Technology Education","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125404892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenges faced in each of these countries are similar, but each one has its own unique issues. Much of Africa seems to be hedging a bet that ICT (information and communications technology - or technologies) will be the thing that leads their countries and economies into the 21st century. Many of the major computing tech companies are in Africa staking their claim. Each country's success in becoming the next Information and Communications technology hub will come down to how well they can train and retain the next generation of ICT specialists. Although, many consider Information Technology to be a component of ICT while others consider them to mean the same thing in terms of a broad definition. In this paper, the term ICT will be used as encompassing all areas of computing including computer science and information systems. IT will be used when referring to IT as defined in the ACM and IEEE Curriculum Guidelines.","PeriodicalId":431742,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th Annual Conference on Information Technology Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134480737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
