IBM is also supporting developers and entrepreneurs through the following additional initiatives in partnership with Coursera. A developer’s guide to the Internet of Things, created by IBM and available on Coursera, is the first curriculum program delivered by a commercial learning partner. IBM created the on-line program to provide a hands on learning approach to building basic skills for IoT. Additionally, IBM is supporting the Social Media Marketing Specialization on Coursera (developed by Northwestern University) for business owners and marketing professionals who want to significantly improve their abilities to grow their social strategy using effective, proven methodologies to profit in a digital world.
