TechHub.training is an online resource built by BYU students and faculty. Its mission is to inspire learning in an online forum where students, teachers, and data experts develop, hone, and share expertise in important business technologies. The website is built around challenges in core business technologies, such as Excel, Tableau, PowerBI, Python, SQL, process mining, and more. Each challenge is accompanied by data sets, a task, and a solution video to guide learners. Users contribute by submitting their solutions, posing questions, or offering suggestions. This interactive approach not only fosters learning but also allows users to compile a portfolio. This portfolio becomes a digital record of their data analytic and technology capabilities, which can be showcased to prospective employers. All the resources on the platform are available for free.

Faculty have successfully used TechHub.training in class in several ways. Here are a few suggestions for you to consider:

• Assign challenges as homework by requiring students to post their solution online. Since posting is tied to a LinkedIn profile, students have an incentive to post high quality content. Students who have less understanding, can follow along with the videos to perform the task without faculty having to do all the training. One particularly effective method to increase coverage of a topic, is to allow students to select challenges that interest them in a technology and perform a set number of challenges as homework.
• “Borrow” content by copying a challenge, rewording it (so it is not easily found with a web search), and then assigning it as a homework or exam problem.
• Build off the content by making a similar challenge with the same, or slightly edited, data.
• Require students to build their own challenge similar to those that are posted. This allows students to dig deeply into understanding a topic and communicating it to others.

If you want to be alerted when new challenges are posted, follow TechHub.training on LinkedIn.
