Students first gain the baseline fundamental skills through hands-on modules-based training – either self-paced or instructor-led – with skills practice in a controlled learning environment. The Flight School offers a lab-like, hands-on “simulation” experience akin to what pilots get before taking actual planes in the air.

With all of these shifts underway, I’m very excited that MarkLogic recently launched Data Hub Flight School™, a unique way to train a new generation of technologists on how to deploy data hubs. The importance of data management to the global economy is just one of the reasons why MarkLogic University successfully works with leading universities, including Penn State Behrend, Villanova University and the University of Maryland University College, to help prepare the workforce of the future. In an economy where consumers expect personalized service and immediate connection to brands, we need technologists with new ways of seeing data and multi-dimensional mindsets. We need technologists who can envision houses, build them, and then connect those houses to others. Teaching someone to use a screwdriver or a hammer does not mean that student will then be able to build a house. We need to empower growth and creative problem-solving mindsets. We also need our educational efforts to do more than teach technologists how to use tools. When this happens, the result is technologists who are better prepared when they go to work on a real project. This means practice in a controlled learning environment followed by utilizing the newly acquired skill in a setting that parallels the real-world. And finally, rather than simply asking a learner to ingest information, learning processes must enable technologists to learn how to do something realistic. Gamification-applying elements of game playing-often results in better learning outcomes, and is a great source of instant feedback to measure content effectiveness. Digestible modules are also more likely to offer practical experience and to then more easily transfer to a real-life work environment. Studies have shown that micro-learning-breaking long courses into shorter, more digestible chunks-increases retention by up to 20%. Instead, I see an increasing need for newer teaching methods. This process adds time and cost for our customers and partners, both of whom need new data management technologies to be operational faster than ever given the competitive nature of an increasingly digital economy. And after finishing a training course, they still lack practical experience and are not seasoned enough to work on real-life projects without apprenticeship with an expert. Adult learners are balancing ongoing job duties and demands outside the workplace and often struggle to retain large amounts of new content without incorporating it into their work soon after taking training. It is no longer optimal to have learners sit in classrooms for weeks at a time to work through printed manuals. New ways of managing data, however, require new ways of training and developing technologists.
New Ways to Educate, Learn for Better Results With my exposure and work with our customers and partners, I see first-hand the more recent increase in understanding that data is at the heart of digital transformation for any enterprise, and that data hubs are critical to that effort because they enable enterprises to integrate data so that it can be better managed and utilized. The world of IT and data management is continuously changing and, as a result, so must the ways that we prepare technologists.
