crueoj | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is Georgia Tech's Online Master in CS Worth It?

As someone currently in the program and graduating this Spring, I have found this program to be incredibly rewarding. GT has done a fantastic job turning their on-campus courses into an online format. At first I was skeptical, but I have found this program extremely challenging and have learned a great deal. It has been fantastic in my career development as well, allowing me to land a job in ML before I have graduated.

The program does have its hiccups here and there. Some courses have been reported as being poorly organized, but this is certainly the minority. Also, you may not receive as much individual attention as you would in a on-campus program. This is aided by the fantastic community of students in the OMSCS program which provide a support system for each other through online forums/chat. If you are not much of a self-starter and need specific guidance, this program may not be for you.

Everyone has their own unique learning style. So why don’t corporate training programs typically take this into account? One-size-fits-all training modules are not an effective way to train employees.

To prove training success, learning leaders must measure and track employee results. Demonstrating learning effectiveness and measuring success is about more than quiz and test results, satisfaction surveys and the number of courses completed.

Using Zoomi, companies can maximize training efforts through increased completion rates, improved course effectiveness, reduced training costs, increased employee productivity and improved learner engagement.

Zoomi’s analytics will help your company demonstrate the correlation between training performance and business outcomes, making employee training an integral part of the business strategy, rather than a cost center factored into the annual budget.

Zoomi is hiring for several positions on our engineering and research teams. Come join our team and change the way the world learns.
