This thesis presents the findings of a pre-study with the objective of assessing whether Oracle Corporation’s Java with AI course could be implemented as a MOOC for Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The course is available through Oracle Academy and introduces students to artificial intelligence concepts through Java programming, with a later focus on manually implementing a decision tree.
In addition to evaluating the content of the course and its potential implementation into Moodle as a MOOC, this thesis also explores Java in general as a programming language. Its history, current relevance, and future are examined to assess its value in both education and the software industry.
This study also examines four common Java-based machine learning libraries: Weka, Deeplearning4j, SMILE and Tribuo. While the Oracle Academy course focuses on manual implementation for educational purposes, these libraries reflect the practical tools commonly used in the industry.
The study highlights the strengths and limitations of the course content and challenges encountered during the Moodle-based implementation. The goal was to provide support for the integration of the course into Metropolia UAS’ curriculum, which would be highly beneficial for the institution.
