  • FIRST TO MARKET WITH THE MOST-CURRENT CONTENT

    Within the last two years, 85% of the collection has been updated. Udemy’s dynamic marketplace model based on data and human insights ensures the collection is always fresh and up to date. Not only does Udemy continually add new courses to address market demand and changes, they retire older courses that are no longer relevant.

    Plus, with real-world experts creating compelling content for Udemy, courses are either published in tandem or just after the technology is publicly released.

  • LEARNER-FIRST APPROACH

    Your library can offer patrons a personalized learning experience that puts their individual needs and interests first. Students can search top Udemy courses and see what’s trending, giving them the power to choose content that fits them best. Smart recommendations give users, from beginners to advanced learners, course suggestions based on previous interactions with the platform. When searching, learners can filter by course features, level, duration, topic, and ratings. To help put newly learned skills into practice, more than 60% of courses in Gale Presents: Udemy include assignments, quizzes, practice tests, and coding exercises. 

    We know students want to access courses anytime, anywhere. With an app for iOS and Android, users can download Udemy courses to watch offline, listen to courses with podcast-style audio, and watch courses using Chromecast or Apple TV.

  • COURSES TAUGHT BY THOSE WHO KNOW THE INDUSTRY BEST

    Udemy instructors who teach the courses in the collection are world-class thought leaders. Although you may not recognize them, they’re often instructors who are leading authorities in their industry and have significant expertise. Consider Angela Yu, iOS developer, teacher, and founder of the London App Brewery, and Sydney Finkelstein, professor and director of the Center for Leadership at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business.

It doesn't dive deep into any specific subject covered (statistics, SQL, Tableau, or Python) as you can get specific courses on them, but it does give you a foundation and shows how statistics, SQL, Tableau, and Python are utilized together in the BI environment. Recommend this course!”
