When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

The power of extracting value from data utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), data science (DS), and machine learning (ML) exposes the learning differences between humans and machines. Humans can apply ethical principles throughout the decision-making process to avoid discrimination, societal harm, and marginalization to maintain and even enhance acceptable norms. Machines make decisions autonomously. So, how do we train them to apply ethical principles as they learn from decisions they make? This course provides business professionals and consumers of technology with the core concepts of ethical principles, how they can be applied to emerging data driven technologies, and the impact to an organization which ignores ethical use of technology.

This course is designed for business leaders and decision makers, including C-level executives, project and product managers, HR leaders, Marketing and Sales leaders, and technical sales consultants, who have a vested interest in the representation of ethical values in technology solutions. Other individuals who want to know more about data ethics are also candidates for this course. This course is also designed to assist learners in preparing for the CertNexus® DEBIZ™ (Exam DEB-110) credential. In this course, you will: gain fundamental knowledge of what data ethics is, investigate ethical principles, identify sources of ethical risk, and identify business considerations related to data ethics.
