I solicited information baout courses related to data science in education, and ended up with more than I expected. This is a crowdsourced list, with courses spanning data science education (data science as a new context for teaching and learning) and the application of different data science methods to learning analytics and educational data mining:
- Applied Social Network Analysis in Education (Bodong Chen)
- Learning Analytics: Theory and Practice (Bodong Chen)
- Carpe Datum (Yoav Bergner)
- Theoretical Foundations of Learning Analytics and Learning Analytics in Practice (forthcoming) (Nia Dowell and Shayan Doroudi)
- Data Science Specialization (five courses) (Daniel Anderson)
- Big Data and Education (Ryan Baker)
- Core Methods in Educational Data Mining (Charles Lang)
- Learning Analytics Fundamentals (George Siemens and colleagues)
- Data Science Education (and Data Science Education for pre-service teachers) (Victor Lee)
- Foundations of Learning Analytics and Educational Data Science (Alyssa Wise)
- Building Learning Analytics Applications (Alyssa Wise)
- Certificate Program in Learning Analytics (four courses) (Shaun Kellogg)
- Massive Open Online Course on Building Legitimate Predictive Analytics With Learning Design and Theory (forthcoming) (Erkan Er)
- Data Analysis, Simulation, and Programming in R (James Pustejovsky)
- Machine Learning in Education (Zach Pardos)
- Programming and Educational Data Science (forthcoming) (Fernando Rodriguez)
- Data Visualization (Cynthia D’Angelo)
There are also a few compendia of courses:

If I made any omissions or mistakes, I’m sorry - I will correct this as soon as I learn I made them. This (clearly) is not a comprehensive list, but is also clearly a good one. If referred to by anyone other than myself, consider this just a snapshot in time of a subset of the wider educational community exploring these topics.
I asked because I am interested in offering a data science in education course at my institution - and it was and is very valuable to learn what others have created or will be offering in the near future.
