Tiivistelmä
The aim of this paper is to describe the process of how to develop course content for a new challenging and emerging ICT technology in a higher education organization. The structure of the developed data analytics (DA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) curriculum as well as the contents of the courses will be presented precisely. DA and AI have more and more frequently appeared in magazine titles in recent years and have become very hot topics. With the fast development of technology, the terms Digitalization and Big Data have gained strong publicity. Data is produced at an accelerated pace almost everywhere where people’s actions and various, mainly electronic systems meet. Often data is compared to crude oil, which acts as raw material and through the refining process produces new products for industry. In spring 2017, the Institute of Information Technology at JAMK University of Applied Sciences (JAMK) started to develop its competence in DA and AI. The lack of good and well-organized university level education material and knowledge of the previously mentioned technology were the major challenges during the development process. Basic and very high-level theoretical courses from DA and AI can be found easily; however, hands-on type implementation courses were missing.
