Addressing the ICT-related challenges of Business Intelligence education

A growing number of free high-quality educational resources, made available to BI (Business Intelligence) educators by the worldwide communities such as Teradata University Network (TUN), have started to gradually change the nature of ICT-related challenges in BI Education. From not having the adequate and free resources, the emphasis is now shifting to the challenge of designing innovative learning activities around these resources. This paper aims to make a theoretical and practical contribution to the emerging field of BI education by demonstrating a method of designing innovative learning activities at different cognitive and knowledge levels around given educational resources. The proposed method, founded in an educational framework known as the Revised Bloom´s taxonomy, is illustrated by two examples of learning activities designed by the author and extensively tested in practice with large numbers of students.
