It's our anniversary and you get the presents!
The IBM Academic Initiative is celebrating its fifth anniversary with lots of improvements for YOU.
For starters, we've redesigned and simplified our site navigation, reorganized our content, and now offer you the option
to explore
our resources based on the topics you teach. We've updated our guides that map IBM technologies and courseware to ACM-recommended
curricula and to innovative concepts for building a smarter planet. And because it is all about teaching, we've added over
100
new courses to our Courseware Repository.
