The Oracle Academy North America team is excited to launch our new podcast, Oracle Academy Tech Chat. Throughout this podcast series, Tyra Crockett, Senior Manager, Oracle Academy North America, talks with members of the Oracle community on a variety of topics, from “how students can prepare a good resume” to “What is SQL” to the “Oracle Innovation Lab”. The entire series is designed with academic lens so faculty can use each podcast for teaching and learning in their courses, or as an informational tool to share with students and colleagues.
In the inaugural episode, Tyra sits down with Willie McCabe, Oracle Academy Vice President, and Denise Hobbs, Sr. Regional Director, Oracle Academy North America. Willie, Denise, and Tyra discuss how Oracle Academy teaching resources help faculty prepare students with knowledge, hands-on practice, and career-relevant skills. They talk about the free software available to faculty for teaching use, including: the Oracle Academy Cloud Program, which offers faculty access to the Oracle Free Tier, Oracle APEX, NetSuite Cloud Solution, Java, Primavera, and many others.
They also spend time talking about the full curriculum available for teaching and learning and educator professional development opportunities accessed via the Oracle Academy Member Hub. Finally, Willie and Denise share advice with faculty and students on pursuing technology careers.
You can listen to this episode and other episodes of Oracle Academy Tech Chat on standard podcasting platforms.
