Abstract

The article assesses the potential of massive open online courses (MOOC) to meet federal training needs in the fields of cybersecurity and data analytics. It presents the case of Cybrary, a company that offers free courses on a range of cyber skills, and how it responded to the 2013 budget sequestration and government shutdown. An overview of the result of a data analysis of participation in MOOCs is presented. It also outlines the MOOCs offered by universities that can help boost IT skills.
