This work involved a comparative analysis of randomly selected Data Science Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and master’s degree programs in investigating how effectively interdisciplinary curricula approaches were being utilized in the course design. It also involved a second study, in the form of a qualitative survey, that asked students to share their perspective, satisfaction, and sentiment from MOOC experiences. These findings were combined, analyzed and utilized to support the foundation of the proposed case-based learning methodology. This approach provides a more real-world and project simulated approach that challenges students to solve problems analytically which is seen as a more effective framework for delivering data science offerings.

Catechesis has been a critical part of Christianity since Biblical times, however the adoption of popular educational theories and technology to aid in catechesis has been slow. This research study shows the result of a review of current materials, surveys and in-depth interviews conducted with catechumens
and catechists. It establishes that problem based learning, discussion based learning, formative assessment, spaced repetition and gamification can all be combined with traditional catechesis and technology to provide high quality catechesis. It in particular highlights that catechists and catechumens alike are keen to combine new approaches with traditional methods and each see benefits to the use of technology in catechesis.
