How Data Science is Evolving Technology Education
summary
Galvanize runs three immersive programs: a three to six month full stack course, a 12 week data science bootcamp and new data engineering training and reports 97% placement for web grads and 94% placement for data science with many doubling salaries; admissions and student success use automated assessments, weekly exit tickets and a skills matching beta called Flight. The team experiments with item response theory (see Khan Academy guacamole) to model mastery and uses human assisted AI like the IBM Watson TA case to scale personalized interventions.
