Who We Are

Our Mission

The HUB of Analytics Education is a 501(c)3 organization registered in Massachusetts (Sales Tax Exemption). Our mission at the HUB of Analytics Education is to provide Open Educational Resources (OER) to faculty around the globe. These resources can assist faculty interested in incorporating data analytics within their curriculum.
The OER materials include large transactional datasets with supporting information (e.g., process flowcharts and manuals) and exercises with suggested solutions. We also provide teaching notes for auditing (ACL or IDEA based activities) and management accounting exercises (Tableau based activities). We continue to add fresh material each quarter to keep the educational environment current.
