Hi,
Since launching our first Academy courses a few months ago, we’ve been collecting user feedback on things you like and things you’d like us to change. So, after digesting all of this, we’ll be making two big changes to the Academy this week.
THE HEADLINE:
If you’re an existing Academy subscriber, there’s no action for you to take and you’ll get everything in the Academy for the next year at no extra cost 
Here are the details…
Change 1 - Shorter Bitesize Courses
You told us you wanted shorter courses for discrete chunks of bitesize learning. So, our two current courses will be divided up into four separate courses…
Zero to Sixty - Foundations in Machine Learning will become:
- Getting Started in Machine Learning
- Using General Linear Models in Machine Learning
Machine Thinking - Machine Learning Models for Professionals will become:
- The Kernel Trick: A First Look at Flexible Machine Learning
- Tree-based Algorithms: Random Forests and Gradient Boosted Trees
All of our future courses will tend to follow this trend - they’ll be shorter and more tightly focused on specific topics. But don’t worry, we’ll clearly signpost how they relate to each other and what you should cover before and after each course.
Change 2 - One annual subscription for ALL courses!
Instead of subscribing to individual courses, now you can simply subscribe to the whole Academy for a single annual fee and have access to all courses!
This will be much more cost-effective for anyone wanting to take more than a handful of courses during the year…our goal here at digiLab is to get more people into machine learning, so this is a win-win for everyone!
As an early supporter of digiLab Academy, we’re saying thank you by providing full access to all Academy content for 1 year, at no extra charge!
Simply log in as normal and you’ll have access to all currently available courses for one year. You’ll also get access to all of the courses we’re currently working on.
Your subscription won’t auto-renew, so you can decide again next year if you want to re-subscribe and continue learning with us.
It’s early days and digiLab Academy is still only a minnow in the online learning world but we’re committed to building one of the best learner-focused places to learn practical machine learning online.
On behalf of the whole team at digiLab, thanks for your ongoing support!
We’ll post again in this thread when the update is live
