Jim Spohrer of the Cognitive Systems Institute has started a useful curriculum, click through the below for more information. I recently passed along this comment:
... The most common question I get is: What is this 'cognitive' thing, and how do I prepare for it? ... Expectations, with in-home capabilities like Siri and Echo, are starting to rise. Next is the question: How do I economically test these ideas? Our answers to that question are not yet well formulated. Lets make that happen ...

Amazon Marketplace for Curriculum
In the midst of developing a curriculum ....
Amazon Is Taking On Google in the Battle for the Classroom
In Time by Leena Rao
Amazon is looking to deepen its ties to the education world with a new online marketplace for lesson plans, curriculum, and other resources that debuted on Monday, called Inspire.
Until now, Amazon’s presence in educational institutions has been mostly limited to its original business of selling digital and physical books. The e-commerce giant has partnered with a handful of universities to open co-branded online bookstores for selling textbooks and a number of physical campus stores as package pick-up centers. .... "

Curriculum for Cognitive Science
Fascinating new discussion I am participating in is underway. Follow along. Will pass along excerpts here.
A New “Science of Cognitive Computing” Curriculum
Posted by Jim Spohrer ...
Currently, I am working on a new “science of cognitive computing” curriculum for IBM with our partner universities and others to allow people of all ages to design, build, understand, and work with cognitive mediators. The curriculum is inspired in part by the work of Douglas Engelbart, an American engineer and inventor, and an early computer and Internet pioneer, who urged us to work quickly to augment human intellect to address complex, urgent problems.
Initially, we plan to use the curriculum to show people how to design and build cognitive mediators that augment their personal and professional memories and suggest profitable connections and conversations between people – a type of relationship-oriented computing. Later, we plan to use the curriculum to help people understand how intelligence (capabilities to perform useful tasks) develops in people and machines using specific data sets and learning algorithms, both unsupervised (evolution) and supervised (culture) algorithms. Finally, we plan to use the curriculum to help people explore how best to work with their cognitive mediators, individually and collectively. ... "

Wharton Pushes Data Science
Note the inclusion of 'Decision' in the new department title. Good move,
As tech skills grow in value, Wharton increases focus on data science
By Aliza Ohnouna in the Daily Pennsylvanian
Wall Street and Silicon Valley may be 2,562 miles apart, but at Penn, finance and tech are becoming increasingly intertwined.
Eric Bradlow, a professor in the Marketing Department at the Wharton School, sees business strategy and technological competency, particularly in the way of data science, as inextricably linked skills for jobs in the modern economy. “People that can take statistical modeling and big data and turn it into corporate strategy — that’s what firms are looking for today,” he said.
Bradlow cited recent changes that Wharton has made in its curriculum to keep up with the needs of the changing job market. Wharton re-named its Operations and Information Management Department (OPIM), the Operations, Information and Decision Department (OID).
This department offers more than just a new acronym. It seeks to rigorously blend computer-based data analytics and business management decision making, the latter which has become increasingly dependent on the former. ... "

Curriculum Redesign and Math Thinking for Decision Makers
Today's ISSIP ( International Society For Service Innovation Professionals) talk, by Charles Fadel on Curriculum design. Discussion has been started there. He is part of the Center for Curriculum ReDesign. Good thoughts on how mathematics could be taught to the non mathematical, an area we addressed in working with executives. Will restart that topic at the talk link above. Also, more about ISSIP.
