QlikTech has launched the QlikView Academic Program. The QlikView Academic Program allows any accredited, university-level institution to apply for free licenses of the QlikView Business Discovery platform to use within its educational curriculam. The QlikView platform unleashes analytical and critical thinking skills that make the learning experience richer and more powerful. Students and faculty can easily consolidate, search, and visually analyze data, enabling them to make new connections within their studies and research and discover new insights that drive innovative ideas and better decisions.
Villanova University’s School of Business is addressing the need for students to build strong analytics skills with newly designed business intelligence courses for undergraduate MIS (Management of Information Systems) majors and MBA students.
Wenhong Luo, Associate Professor, Accounting and Information Systems, Villanova School of Business said, “Analytics is going mainstream, which makes it important for us to invigorate the classroom and that calls for integrating the latest technology into our curriculum. QlikView fits perfectly with my curriculum, and it is so easy to learn that students are able to build BI applications after a few classes. Working with QlikView, we are giving students the opportunity to tackle real-world business problems, and with this type of experience, students can be productive a lot sooner in their future endeavors.”
