Northeastern University has a long-term relationship with IBM. Recently, Northeastern and IBM announced a strategic learning collaboration with IBM’s Open Badge program that will integrate industry training with academic credentials. Those who hold IBM badges are eligible for advanced standing within a range of Northeastern’s professional graduate programs. 

At the HUB, we are working to incorporate IBM’s Watson Analytics into the Big Data Curriculum. At Northeastern, students and faculty have cloud access to IBM Watson. Co-Founder Charlie Bame-Aldred likes the idea of incorporating Watson Analytics. “Adding the Watson platform to our open educational materials provides faculty around the globe with another alternative to introducing Big Data Analytics into their classrooms.” Read about the team tasked with bringing IBM Watson Analytics cases to the HUB of Analytics Education.
