Activity 1.5. Course-level innovation for Pacific data science

Alliance faculty are designing, piloting, evaluating and refining curriculum in data science and computer science. New courses and course redesigns are supported to strengthen pedagogy and improve alignment with Pacific regional priorities.

  • New courses include DS 360 Scalable Data and Bias, DS362 Cloud Computing, and DS 364 Introduction to High Performance Computing

  • Project-based learning on stakeholder use cases is embedded throughout the DS major, connecting studies to the region’s priorties

  • Data Science 101 has been extensively redesigned as a ‘decision science’ course
