Oracle Academy and SGI join hands 
Sharda Group of Institutions (SGI) will integrate the Oracle Academy Introduction to Computer Science curriculum into SGI’s flagship institutions, Sharda University, and Hindustan College of Science and Technology, located in Greater Noida and Mathura, respectively, to help inspire the next-generation of technology professionals. This effort will allow SGI to build a strong foundation of technology programs to help prepare 4,000 students for successful  IT careers, and help meet growing demand for a highly skilled technology workforce.
The Oracle Academy’s Introduction to Computer Science curriculum includes Database Design and Programming courses and a Java-specific curriculum consisting of four courses (Getting Started with Java Using Alice, Creating Java Programs with Greenfoot, Java Fundamentals, and Java Programming) that are aligned to Oracle certification. The Getting Started with Java Using Alice curriculum engages students with little or no programming experience to learn basic Java programming concepts using Carnegie Mellon University’s Alice software environment.
The programme will be launched in April 2013. To support this effort, 41 teachers will participate in the Oracle Academy’s Instructors Institute, a rigorous professional development programme that prepares faculty to teach the Oracle Academy’s IT and business curriculum.
“We take pride in our ability to provide academic programmes that promote innovation, technology skills development, and academic research. Working with the Oracle Academy will support us in this endeavour,” said P. K. Gupta, Chancellor, Sharda University and Chairman, Sharda Group....See More
