Abstract: There are many online distance courses offering a wide range of graduate computing degrees, and many of these are from very prestigious universities world-wide. What makes this program both special and exciting is to provide the student a cutting-edge Masters’ Degree program coupled with contemporary open badging to support a professional Masters’ degree. This paper outlines a draft Masters’ Degree program in Computing in partnership with the IBM open badging system. While the time constraint on paper submission has not allowed for a formal matriculation of technologies or memoranda of agreements, the proposal represents an innovative approach to a practical Masters’ Degree with IBM’s Open Badging System. The authors are hopeful that a partnership is in the offing and may become formalized in the near term.
