There are many considerations and factors that play a part in designing a
new product. Cost is usually a big one, but sometimes there are other
factors that are the main contributors to a product's direction. With vehicles,
specifically motorcycles, we see advanced engineering practices performed
on seemingly minor parts. In some instances, making a part as light as
possible can have a big effect on performance. In other cases, the strength
or stiffness of a part, such as a motor mount, is more critical than its mass.
Generative design allows us the ability to solve for both problems at the
same time and make informed design decisions without the sacrifice. In this
course, we’ll explore how generative design can be applied to motorcycle
parts to help reduce mass while also increasing performance.\n\nYou’ll

Grasp the essentials needed to begin playing acoustic or electric guitar.
You'll learn an easy approach to get you playing quickly, through a
combination of exploring the instrument, performance technique, and basic
music theory.\n\nFor students who have long thought about picking up the
acoustic or electric guitar, this course will provide an easy-access
foundation that will get you playing. When first learning guitar, it is important
to have the material presented in stages, in an enjoyable way that allows
you to grasp the basics of the instrument and music. The course begins
simply with the parts of the guitar, the names of the strings, tuning, and

technique—whether finger-style or pick. It then explores the basics of music
theory with such topics as scales, triads, power chords, and fingering and
shapes.\n\nAt the end of this course, students will understand the structure,
parts, and accessories of the instrument, in addition to an understanding of
its basic maintenance. Electric guitar players will learn the operation of their
instrument along with basic options for amplification, effect pedals, and
sounds. Students will also learn to develop correct technique and apply
theory concepts to their playing. They will have the foundational knowledge
necessary to pursue most intermediate guitar courses.
You’ve got the guitar basics down: You can strum your guitar and play a
few of your favorite songs, but you’re ready to take the tunes to the next
level. In Guitar Scales and Chord Progressions you’ll expand your
knowledge of scales, chord fingerings, and common chord progressions.
You’ll also learn important skills for soloing, creating melodies, and adding
depth and dimension to your guitar playing. \n\nThis course is not only for
the aspiring guitarist who has taken Berklee’s Guitar for Beginners, but also
for guitarists who have let their six-string gather dust for too long, and want
to brush up on techniques. \n\nEach lesson covers the four basic aspects
you’ll need to sharpen your guitar chops: scales, arpeggios, chord
https://www.coursera.org/learn/guitar-scales-chord-
Guitar Scales and Chord Progressions Berklee College of Music progressions, and rhythm. Amanda’s practical approach to learning these
progressions
important elements is fun and helps you to use what you’re learning and
practicing in a real musical setting. You’ll improve your playing and
creativity, whether it be as a singer-songwriter, a guitarist accompanying a
singer, or a player in the band. By the end of this course, you’ll be more
comfortable playing throughout the neck, and you’ll gain a better
understanding of chord structure and how each chord relates to tonal
centers or keys. You’ll also be able to solo and improvise by playing simple
lead guitar lines based on the minor pentatonic scale. Whether your
preference is for acoustic or electric, the curriculum is designed to turn you
into a real guitarist.
Aprenda os conceitos básicos de improvisação com Gary Burton, um dos
improvisadores mais renomados do mundo do jazz, incluindo os processos
mentais, melódicos e harmônicos que contribuem com as habilidades
instintivas que um improvisador põe em prática ao realizar um
solo.\n\nEmbora muitas pessoas sejam fãs de jazz e compreendam que os
músicos estão frequentemente "compondo" as notas que tocam durante
uma apresentação, a maioria das pessoas — o que geralmente inclui os
próprios músicos que estão aprendendo a improvisar — não sabe com

Improvisação no Jazz Berklee College of Music
jazz acontecer. O objetivo deste curso é apresentar os conceitos básicos da
improvisação moderna e mostrar como dominar as diferentes habilidades
musicais e mentais envolvidas. \n\nO autor do curso, Gary Burton, codifica
uma abordagem muito procurada da improvisação, a qual tem sido o
centro do currículo da Berklee College of Music há décadas. Os alunos que

In the past, Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) were programs used only by
audio engineers with a highly specific knowledge base, on machines
inaccessible to most people. But over the past 10-15 years, DAWs and the
act of recording music have evolved from being a luxury of the few to being
available to the masses. Ableton Live is one such application. Used by an
extremely broad range of music creators, Ableton Live not only facilitates
the work of engineers, producers, and writers in professional, home, and
mobile studio settings, but it is also a powerful platform for musicians on
stage, in the DJ booth, and elsewhere.\n\nIn this course, you will explore
some of Live’s most powerful and useful functionality: MIDI programming,
Introduction to Ableton Live Berklee College of Music https://www.coursera.org/learn/ableton-live audio recording, warping and processing, looping editing, mixing,
performing, file management, and troubleshooting. Meant to be a
springboard for those who are new to Ableton Live and/or DAWs in general,
this three-week course will provide you with a strong knowledge base for
using Live to take your musical ideas from conception to final recording.
The course breaks down the many barriers of entry into music technology
and encourages all those who wish, to create fearlessly.\n\nNote: If you do
not own Ableton Live 9, you can download the free, fully featured Ableton
Live Trial. The trial version will allow you to save and export your work for
30 days. If you use the trial version, do not download it until the course is
scheduled to begin.
Learn the basic concepts of improvisation from Gary Burton, one of the
most renowned improvisers in the jazz world, including the mental, melodic,
and harmonic processes that contribute to the instinctive skills that an
improviser puts to use when taking a solo.\n\nWhile many people are fans
of jazz and understand that musicians are often “making up” the notes they
are playing during a performance, most people—often including musicians,
themselves, who are beginning to learn improvising—aren’t clear about
what exact processes take place to enable this to happen. The purpose of
Jazz Improvisation Berklee College of Music https://www.coursera.org/learn/jazz-improvisation
this course is to introduce the basic concepts of modern improvisation and
how to go about mastering the different musical and mental skills involved.
\n\nCourse author Gary Burton codifies a sought-after approach to
improvisation that has been at the core of Berklee College of Music's
curriculum for decades. Students who complete this course will know what
to practice and how to practice the various aspects of improvising, in
addition to understanding how the improviser spontaneously communicates
to the listeners through their musical creations.

This course addresses recorded vocal performances and the technologies
used to highlight and support them in modern record production and mixes.
Most of us know that vocals serve as the focal point of modern recordings
but many do not know the tools used or when the tools are used best in
modern record production.\n\nThe course begins with simple vocal
placement in a mix, where you will also learn the fundamentals of
compression and equalization. You’ll further study delays and reverbs
before moving to advanced concepts in audio editing, synthetic processing,
automatic & graphic pitch correction, time compression, time expansion,
flex and elastic audio. \n\nThrough analysis and/or hands on projects that
the students will post for peer review, the student will gain an understanding
The Art of Vocal Production Berklee College of Music https://www.coursera.org/learn/vocal-production
of the many choices available to modern record producers as they record
and mix with a modern tool set. You’ll see, in action, the Vocoder, Auto-
Tune, Melodyne, Elastic Audio, Flex Time, VocAlign, tempo based editing
and a host of other file modification protocols that are readily available on
most Digital Audio Workstations. This course gives students a thorough
look at the expanded choices that have risen in the art of vocal production
as a result of these modern tools.\n\nThe goal of the course is to help
interested novices understand the recordings they are listening to,
performers find an expanded language for their recorded voices and for
vocal producers to be able to create musically artistic visualizations using
singers as their paintbrushes.
Learn about the music production process—including recording, editing,
and mixing—and the tools available to you to create contemporary music
on your computer.\n\nWith the recent introduction of high-quality-low-cost
software and hardware, the tools of music production are now available to
the masses. Albums are made in bedrooms as well as studios. On the
surface this is liberating. Anyone can make an album for the low cost of a
couple pieces of gear and a software package. But, if you dig deeper, you
will find that it is not so easy. Producing music requires knowledge,
dedication, and creativity.\n \nKnowledge is where this course comes in.
No matter what kind of music you are making, there is a large set of tools
that you will need to use. Each lesson of this course will demonstrate a
different set of music production tools, loosely following along the music
production process of recording, editing, and mixing. \n\nWe will start with
some background on the nature of sound and how we perceive it. We will
then examine the components necessary to record audio into a computer,

in contemporary music. The contemporary editing tool is the Digital Audio
Workstation (DAW), a piece of software that stores and organizes all the
assets of a musical project. We will focus on the editing tools that are
essential in contemporary music production and that all DAWs provide.
\n\nAfter editing, sounds must be combined or mixed together, so we look
to the mixing board—a very creative place if you know how to use it. We will
explore the basic functionality of both hardware and software mixing
boards, including volume, pan, mute, solo, busses, inserts, sends, and
submixes. The mixing process, however, includes more tools than the
mixing board provides on its own. Sound must also be processed, modified
from its recorded state to fit the context of the music. We will look at
compression, equalization, and delay, and examine the many audio effects
that are offshoots of these devices and how they are used in a musical
context.\n \nIn the end, the music production process relies on your

This course is about how music works. It is about the relationship between
the technical and aesthetic details of music. It is also about how developing
a meaningful theoretical vocabulary can help you think and talk about
musical style, and how learning that vocabulary can expand your
appreciation for music.\n\nIn this course you will learn music theory not by
looking at theory itself, but by listening to, looking at, and—yes!—writing
your own musical examples. By hearing, seeing, and writing yourself, you
will learn about classical, modern, ancient, pop, jazz, and folk
styles.\n\nThrough lectures, relevant examples, and numerous practice
Approaching Music Theory: Melodic Forms and https://www.coursera.org/learn/melodic-forms-
California Institute of the Arts assignments, we will examine fundamental aspects of melody. We will
Simple Harmony simple-harmony
move into working with two voices and counterpoint, and finally to three
voices and the beginnings of harmonic function.\n\nThis is an intermediate-
level course for musicians and composers who already have some
understanding of music theory through previous study. If you are a musician
or composer looking to build a deeper understanding of music theory for
composing, performing, or improvisation, you have come to the right place.
If you are an amateur lover of music or, perhaps, play a musical instrument
and want to develop a deeper sense of appreciation for music theory,
aesthetics, and history, you are also in the right place!
In this course you will explore concepts and approaches involved in creating
successful character designs that can be applied to video games. Following
a first week delving into some foundational concepts for successful
character design, each of the remaining three weeks are structured as a
master class where you will observe three professional character designers
at work in the studio: Andy Ristaino (Adventure Time), Jacky Ke Jiang

Character Design for Video Games California Institute of the Arts
design will take on two different design challenges on the fly and address the
various issues in designing characters for games, such as movement,
expression, and technical limitations. At the end of each week you will have
an opportunity to try out some of the concepts from that week's lesson on
characters of your own design. \n\nThis is a fun and engaging class
especially useful for students interested in animation in film and TV as well
as games, and is suitable for students of any drawing ability.
Graphic Design is all around us! Words and pictures—the building blocks of
graphic design—are the elements that carry the majority of the content in
both the digital world and the printed world. As graphic design becomes
more visible and prevalent in our lives, graphic design as a practice
becomes more important in our culture.\n\nThrough visual examples, this
course will teach you the fundamental principles of graphic design:
imagemaking, typography, composition, working with color and shape...
foundational skills that are common in all areas of graphic design practice. I
don't just want you to watch a video of someone talking about design, I
want you to MAKE design! If you want to be a designer you have to be a
maker and a communicator, so this course will offer you lots of
opportunities to get your hands dirty with exercises and with more practical
https://www.coursera.org/learn/fundamentals-of-
Fundamentals of Graphic Design California Institute of the Arts projects.\n\nAt the end of this course you will have learned how to explore
graphic-design
and investigate visual representation through a range of image-making
techniques; understand basic principles of working with shape, color and
pattern; been exposed to the language and skills of typography; and
understand and have applied the principles of composition and visual
contrast. If you complete the course, along with its optional (but highly
recommended) briefs, you will have a core set of graphic design skills that
you can apply to your own projects, or to more deeply investigate a
specialized area of graphic design.\n\nTo succeed in this course you will
need access to a computer. You can complete this course without one but it
will be tougher. Access to, and a beginner's level knowledge of Adobe
Creative Suite programs, such as Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign will
help you, especially if you want to complete the optional briefs.

This condensed survey course focuses on four key periods or themes from
the history of design. Together we’ll trace the emergence of design as a
recognized practice, why things look the way they do, and how designers
approached specific design problems in their work. \n\nEach week, a short

will give you the opportunity to analyze the questions designers ask
themselves today.\n\nThis is an essential course for emerging designers
entering the field, or for students interested in learning more about visual
culture and analysis. No previous experience is required.
Welcome! This course is an introduction to the primary concepts of gaming,
and an exploration of how these basic concepts affect the way gamers
interact with our games. In this course you will understand what defines a
“game” and the mechanics and rules behind different types of games.
Introduction to Game Design California Institute of the Arts https://www.coursera.org/learn/game-design Through four linked assignments you'll learn ways to create and describe a
game concept, and specifically what makes a compelling game. This
course focuses on the conceptual underpinnings of games, and all
assignments can be completed with a pencil and paper – no previous
programming knowledge is required.
This course for serious makers, and for students new to imagemaking.
Imagemaking is a fluid and exciting area of graphic design that comes out
of practice and process: experimenting fearlessly, showing and sharing
ideas, and giving and receiving knowledgeable and constructive
input.\n\nFor the sake of this online platform, we have applied some
structure to our investigations, but for the most part imagemaking is loose
and unstructured. If we must adopt a rule in this course it is only this: you
will not become a graphic designer by watching videos alone. Or, don't just
make stuff just in your head. So here, the focus here is on making, and you
are expected to devote serious time and intellectual energy to that activity in
this course. Specifically, you will:\n\n - experiment with a range of materials
and techniques to make images for graphic design\n - expand your visual
vocabulary both in terms of making and talking about work, in order to
discuss your work and work of others\n - learn how to make, manipulate
and arrange images to create compositions, eventually culminating in the
Introduction to Imagemaking California Institute of the Arts https://www.coursera.org/learn/image-making
design and production of an-image-based book.\n\nThe first half of the
course is an opportunity to experiment and explore imagemaking in order to
expand your visual vocabulary. You will create pieces that are expressive,
meditative, or 'design-y' to instigate, evoke, experiment, record, explain, or
try out a media.\n\nIn the second two weeks, we’ll invite the images to
deliberately and intentionally carry meaning and communication through
relational moves like juxtaposition, composition, and context. We’ll look at
developing and expanding the range of approaches for putting things
together by composing page spreads with your images. Since nothing
exists without context, we look at how to intentionally drive the image’s
connotations, meanings, and associations generated through elements of
composition and “visual contrasts.” Ultimately, we will take the images that
you create and make a book from them.\n\nThe results of your assignments
(and experiments) may generate something completely unknowable now or
in the future—and that's the goal.
Typography is the art of manipulating the visual form of language to enrich
and control its meaning. It’s an essential area of skill and knowledge for
graphic designers. Typography predates modern graphic design by around
500 years; it is rich in rules, conventions, and esoteric terminology—but it
remains an exciting space for invention and expression.\n\nIn this rigorous
introductory course, we will study, name, and measure the characteristics of
letterforms. We’ll consider the pragmatic concerns involved in selecting and
combining type. We’ll peek into the
rich historical, cultural, and aesthetic
histories of familiar typefaces. We’ll discuss time-tested conventions and
Introduction to Typography California Institute of the Arts https://www.coursera.org/learn/typography
best practices in setting type, as governed by principles of hierarchy and
spatial organization. And we’ll explore the expressive, meaning-making
potential of type. \n\nInformative lectures will be complemented by a series
of three peer-assessed assignments, culminating
in an opportunity to
design a full-scale typographic poster.\n\nPlease note that this is not a
software course; a basic working knowledge of Adobe InDesign or other
page layout software will be assumed. You will need access to a
computer and page layout software, such as InDesign, to complete the
assignments.
Why just write poems when you can write better ones? This course is built
on the notion that the most exciting writing begins after the first draft. It is
specifically for folks who believe that writing poems just to express oneself
is like using the Internet just for email. After all, poetry can change the way
you and your readers think of the world and its inhabitants; it can break new
ground for language; turn a blank sheet of paper into a teeming concert of
voices and music.\n\nThough any of us may have the potential to make that
happen, having an understanding of how several tools of poetic
Sharpened Visions: A Poetry Workshop California Institute of the Arts https://www.coursera.org/learn/poetry-workshop
composition can be used (and audaciously “mis-used”) gives you more
ways to try (and if we do this right, we might surprise ourselves most of all).
\n\nWe'll cover key poetic terms and devices by studying poems by a
handful of modern and contemporary poets and then get a chance to try our
own hand at writing new poem drafts from a select number of prompts.
Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to workshop your
poem drafts and get feedback on your work, working towards a more
polished poem.
In this course, you will examine how storytelling acts as a vital mechanism
for driving video gameplay forward. Looking at several historical and
contemporary games, you will be asked to evaluate and interpret different
story styles with the goal of identifying themes and procedures for your own
Story and Narrative Development for Video Games California Institute of the Arts https://www.coursera.org/learn/video-game-story
game ideas. We'll examine traditional narrative story processes, such as
three-act structure, and how they fit into game story flows and the strategic
elements of gameplay. Ultimately, you will learn how to define character,
setting, and structure to create a compelling game concept.
In this course, critique is defined as a detailed, objective analysis of a work
of graphic design and its effectiveness. Critique is an integral part of the
making process for designers: it’s not just how we determine if a work of
design is or is not successful, it’s how we move our work forward. Critique is
also where other voices and opinions can be brought into the design
process. \n\nThis course will introduce a lexicon (or vocabulary) in order for
you to demonstrate clearer and more considered ways of talking about
graphic design in the context of critique. Through this lexicon and a

In the expression “creative thinking”, the keyword is not creativity; the
keyword is thinking. With the help of great philosophers, you will rediscover
the art of thinking.\n\nTo help leaders to be rigorous even without figures,
great philosophers have lots of ideas. Managers are invited to rediscover
the art of thinking. They should understand the role of mental models,

ourselves from conventional ways of thinking, to "think outside the box". But
we need to go a step further. Once outside the box, we need to construct a

structure our thinking. Only once we have done so can we generate truly

This course is the definitive introduction to blockchain for both the
developer and non-developer audience. Beyond the technology, this course
will introduce you to some of the philosophy behind decentralization and
why there is so much excitement around it. \n\nDuring the first three
modules, you'll be introduced to blockchain and the technology behind it. In
module four, we'll go beyond bitcoin and delve deeper into a next-
generation blockchain called Ethereum to introduce you to what modern
blockchains can do. The use cases featured in the final module are drawn

In this capstone project course, we ask YOU to apply everything you have
learned in this specialization to analyze a real world company and to
develop a digital transformation strategy for this company. \n\nYou will have
the possibility to choose between four different case companies, that varies
Digital Transformation of Financial Services - https://www.coursera.org/learn/digital- in size (from small start-up to large financial service providers), industry
Copenhagen Business School
Capstone Project transformation-financial-services-project (banking, financial trading, insurance) and geographical location. \n\nFor
one of these -- only one -- you will create a concise recommendation of a
strategy to leverage the digital transformation of financial services. To do
this well, you will need to summon ideas appropriately from the earlier three
courses in the specialization.
The FinTech revolution is rapidly transforming the financial industry. The
use of digital technologies is the norm, and together with regulatory and
market changes it is creating a revolution. After completion of the module,
you'll be able to: describe the changes that influence the financial sector,
understand the complexity of the payment infrastructure, identify and
explain the key payment instruments and how they function, understand the
types of money that exits, and recognize changes in the regulatory
frameworks and how they inhibit or promote innovation.\n\nTo begin, I
recommend taking a few minutes to explore the course site. A good place
to start is the navigation bar on the left. Click Course Content to see what
FinTech and the Transformation in Financial https://www.coursera.org/learn/fintech- material we’ll cover each week, as well preview the assignments you’ll need

forces of digitalization and the new competitive dynamics it gives rise to,
learned from leading financial companies and seen inspirational examples
from the digital masters. \n\nGood luck as you get started. I look forward to
seeing you in class!
In this course we will take the social business opportunity that you have
identified in the first course to a higher level. Specifically, you will develop a
business model using the Business Model Canvas. Gradually you will also
start writing your business plan. Moreover, you will be able to assess
Social Business Model and Planning for Social https://www.coursera.org/learn/social-business- different organizational forms and select the one that is appropriate for your
Copenhagen Business School
Innovation model developed business model. By the end of the course you will be able to
compare different social impact investment methods and choose the right
funding strategy for your social venture.\n\nNote: It is highly recommended
to have completed Course 1: 'Identifying Social Entrepreneurship
Opportunities' before you start with this Course!
The world of business strategy is in transition. What used to work doesn't
anymore -- not necessarily. \n\nThis course prepares you to think
strategically in an age when companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft
have become more valuable (in market cap terms) than companies like
Exxon. Today, business value and competitive advantage arise more often
from consumer perceptions of what is "cool" than from physical assets or
economies of scale. \n\nIn this course -- the first of a three-course
https://www.coursera.org/learn/strategic- specialization tailored specifically for the age of creativity and innovation --
Strategic Management Copenhagen Business School
management you will gear up for the challenges of strategy formulation and
implementation in a 21st century business. \n\nAfter taking the course,
you'll be able to:\n- Explain why "doing" strategy is considered "the high
point of managerial activity" (Mintzberg);\n- Recognize and avoid the old,
tired ideas about strategy that are still out there, so you can adopt fresher,
better ideas;\n- Point out how doing strategy has changed because of
advancing technology and globalization;\n- Prepare for the Capstone
Project for the Strategic Management and Innovation Specialization
In this capstone project course, we revisit the strategy controversy at e-
Types, introduced in the first course in this specialization, Strategic
Management, and further analysed in each of the subsequent courses,
Strategy Formulation and Strategy Implementation. After revealing,
Strategic Management - Capstone Project Copenhagen Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/businesscap examining, and analyzing what happened at e-Types, we turn to a new set
of strategy cases that range in terms of company size, geography, and
focus. For your final project, we ask YOU to apply everything you have
learned in this specialization to analyze your choice of one of these four
situations.
The purpose of this course is to present, analyze and discuss the different
facets of business strategy formulation. Emphasizing that strategy can be
seen as a unified theme that provides coherence and direction to the
actions and decisions of a firm, we will cover a variety of business strategy
topics concerned with firm positioning in the context of different markets,
Strategy Formulation Copenhagen Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/strategy-formulation industries and locations.\n\nAt the end of the course, you will be able to:\n-
Identify why a strong strategy is essential for the future business success\n-
Formulate a business strategy that suits the needs and visions of your
organization\n- Explain why managers too often formulate sub-optimal
strategies\n- Extrapolate measures to optimize current business
strategies\n\nWorkload: 2-4 hours per week.
Even a thoroughly developed business strategy may fail if you don't pay
enough attention to its implementation. This rings particularly true with
strategies based on innovation or implemented in complex or fast-changing
environments.\n\nIn the 20th century successful implementation leveraged
stability and typically proceeded through hierarchy and control. Today the
key is to stay vibrant and able to quickly respond to trends in competition
https://www.coursera.org/learn/strategy- and technology while not losing sight of the strategic objective. In this
Strategy Implementation Copenhagen Business School
implementation course we'll build a toolbox of techniques to execute today's business
strategies to help them succeed.\n\nAfter completing this course, you'll be
able to:\n- Create objectives and goals to guide strategy implementation\n-
Identify organizational structures that fit particular strategies\n- Understand
how to leverage company culture in implementation\n- Describe how to
communicate the strategy so that the organization "gets" it\n- Detect and
mitigate risks to implementation
In Course 3 of this Specialization you will first of all learn about Social
Impact Assessment. Hence you will be able to develop a method to
evaluate the social mission that you achieve while implementing your
business plan. Next you will outline an appropriate communication strategy
for your social enterprise and will demonstrate how to market your products
and services to beneficiaries and other customers. Here you will employ an
adaptable communication strategy as you move from early adopters to a
broader market share. \n\nFurthermore you will determine growth strategies
and how you can scale or replicate your business plan internationally in
Unleashing the Impact of your Social Enterprise Copenhagen Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/social-impact-growth
order to reach a larger number of beneficiaries. In particular you will discuss
organic growth, social franchising, and an open source approach. Finally,
you will evaluate exit strategies. Thus you will review options social
enterprises have when they need to finance their growth but the original
funders can not or do not want to finance the expansion. \n\nCourse 3 will
be completed by your Capstone project, which will ask you to submit the
final business plan of your social venture.\n\nNote: It is highly
recommended to have completed Course 1 & 2 of the Social
Entrepreneurship Specialization before starting this Course!

sound
Currin, Quran Karriem, Christina Kubisch, Thomas Kusitzky, Scott Lindroth,
Mark Anthony Neal, Bill Seaman, and John Supko. As the ‘ART of the
MOOC’ title implies, learners and participants are encouraged to treat the
MOOC itself as a public art medium. This happens mostly through the
course’s optional practical components, local project productions, global
exchanges, and critical feedback. While no prior sound production or
musical experience is required, projects also offer challenging options for
advanced learners. \n\nFor other course offerings or language versions in
this series, just search 'ART of the MOOC' in the Coursera catalog.
This course is for activists, artists, and thinkers who wish to better
understand and participate in social change. We will focus on the prolific
and exciting overlap between socially engaged art and cultural practices
generated by recent social movements around the world. Rather than
assess the political efficacy of activities like mourning, listening, organizing,
dancing, or partying, the lectures examine such cultural activities next to,
and within, contemporary art practice. \n\nIncluded in the course are guest
presentations by key artists, activists, and scholars, like: Rebecca
ART of the MOOC: Activism and Social https://www.coursera.org/learn/activism-social- Gomperts, Chido Govera, Gulf Labor, Hans Haacke, Sharon Hayes, Jolene

traditional companies.
Chimpanzees are one of our closest living relatives, yet almost nothing was
known about their behavior in the wild until Jane Goodall started her
groundbreaking study of the chimpanzees of Gombe, Tanzania in 1960.
This study continues today, following the same chimpanzee families that
Jane Goodall first encountered over 55 years ago. Guided by three course
instructors who have lived and worked with the Gombe chimpanzees, you
will learn how Goodall’s early discoveries changed our view of human
uniqueness. By completing the course, you will gain a new appreciation of
the deep similarities between chimpanzees and humans in intelligence, tool
Chimpanzee Behavior and Conservation Duke University https://www.coursera.org/learn/chimp use, hunting, personality and social relationships, as well as some key
differences. You will learn how chimpanzees interact with their environment
and how their behavior is influenced by ecology, as well as the severe
conservation challenges they face today. And you will employ your new
knowledge of chimpanzees to construct a persuasive argument for their
protection. This course is open to everyone interested in learning more
about these fascinating and complex beings. Knowledge of high-school
level biology is beneficial but not required. Please keep in mind, however,
that the content of this course will cover all aspects of chimpanzee life,
including scientific discussion of sexual and aggressive behaviors.
So how does the American political system work? Who are some of the key
actors? What are key concepts for a student trying to understand what’s
going on? How can I as a citizen influence politics? \n\nCivic Engagement
in American Democracy takes on these and other key questions. We’re Dr.
Nicholas Carnes and Dr. Bruce Jentleson, the principal course instructors.
Along with our Duke faculty colleagues who also contributed modules,
https://www.coursera.org/learn/civic-engagement-
Civic Engagement in American Democracy Duke University we’ve designed the course to provide a strong foundational introduction to
american-democracy
US politics. \n\nIf you’re new to this material, proceed through the modules
one by one and build up your knowledge of politics and government. If
some of the material is familiar, go ahead and set your own pace. Either
way we hope Civic Engagement in American Democracy helps you be an
effective student in more advanced politics courses and/or an engaged
citizen in 21st century America.
Fear and uncertainty about copyright law often plagues educators and
sometimes prevents creative teaching. This course is a professional
https://www.coursera.org/learn/copyright-for- development opportunity designed to provide a basic introduction to US
Copyright for Educators & Librarians Duke University
education copyright law and to empower teachers and librarians at all grade levels.
Course participants will discover that the law is designed to help educators
and librarians.
Copyright questions about different formats (data, images, music and video)
can be especially difficult. Sometimes the law specifically distinguishes
between these different formats, and in most cases there are media-specific
considerations that impact a copyright analysis. In this course we will look
at four different media, paying special attention to the unique issues for
each one and the kinds of information that is important when making
https://www.coursera.org/learn/copyright-for- copyright decisions for each type of material. We will work through fair use
Copyright for Multimedia Duke University
multimedia issues for each multimedia format, look at format-specific exceptions in the
law, and consider unique issues for seeking permission for film, music,
images and data.\n\nAt the end of this course, participants will have a
deeper understanding of how to apply our framework for making copyright
decisions, and will be more comfortable with assessing multimedia issues.
They will have gained more and more diverse experience for considering
fair use.

Introduction to Genetics and Evolution is a college-level class being offered
simultaneously to new students at Duke University. The course gives
interested people a very basic overview of some principles behind these
very fundamental areas of biology. We often hear about new "genome
sequences," commercial kits that can tell you about your ancestry (including
pre-human) from your DNA or disease predispositions, debates about the
Introduction to Genetics and Evolution Duke University https://www.coursera.org/learn/genetics-evolution
truth of evolution, why animals behave the way they do, and how people
found "genetic evidence for natural selection." This course provides the
basic biology you need to understand all of these issues better, tries to
clarify some misconceptions, and tries to prepare students for future, more
advanced coursework in Biology (and especially evolutionary genetics). No
prior coursework is assumed.
This course introduces you to sampling and exploring data, as well as basic

The oil and gas industry has an enormous impact on all aspects of daily life.
Individuals, corporations, and national governments make financial and
policy decisions based on the cost, use, and availability of these two natural
resources. This two-week course looks at the two most fundamental
aspects of the oil and gas industry, its operations and markets, each of
which is addressed as a separate module in the course. In the operations
Oil & Gas Industry Operations and Markets Duke University https://www.coursera.org/learn/oilandgas module, the course provides an overview of the production of oil and gas,
from initial exploration to final transport. The second module focuses on the
forces that drive the industry's operations, the oil and gas markets, including
the cost of wells, seasonal impacts on prices, and the role of oil reserves.
After every lesson, learners will take short quizzes to test their newly
acquired knowledge, participant in crowd-sourced discussions about global
markets, and complete a final project.

This course gives you access to basic tools and concepts to understand
research articles and books on modern quantum optics. You will learn
about quantization of light, formalism to describe quantum states of light
without any classical analogue, and observables allowing one to
demonstrate typical quantum properties of these states. These tools will be
applied to the emblematic case of a one-photon wave packet, which
behaves both as a particle and a wave. Wave-particle duality is a great
quantum mystery in the words of Richard Feynman. You will be able to fully
appreciate real experiments demonstrating wave-particle duality for a single
photon, and applications to quantum technologies based on single photon
https://www.coursera.org/learn/quantum-optics-
Quantum Optics 1 : Single Photons École Polytechnique sources, which are now commercially available. The tools presented in this
single-photon
course will be widely used in our second quantum optics course, which will
present more advanced topics such as entanglement, interaction of
quantized light with matter, squeezed light, etc...\n\n So if you have a good
knowledge in basic quantum mechanics and classical electromagnetism,
but always wanted to know:\n•\thow to go from classical electromagnetism
to quantized radiation,\n•\thow the concept of photon emerges,\n•\thow a
unified formalism is able to describe apparently contradictory behaviors
observed in quantum optics labs,\n•\thow creative physicists and engineers
have invented totally new technologies based on quantum properties of
light,\nthen this course is for you.
"Quantum Optics 1, Single photons", allowed learners to be introduced to
the basic principles of light quantization, and to the standard formalism of
Quantum Optics. All the examples were taken in single photons
phenomena, including applications to quantum technologies.\nIn the same
spirit, "Quantum Optics 2, Two photons and more", will allow learners to
use the Quantum Optics formalism to describe entangled photon, a unique
feature at the root of the second quantum revolution and its applications to
quantum technologies. Learners will also discover how the Quantum Optics
formalism allows one to describe classical light, either coherent such as
laser light, or incoherent such as thermal radiation. Using a many photons

photons (SQL), which applies to classical light, and to understand how new kinds of
quantum states of light, such as squeezed states of light, allow one to beat
the SQL, one of the achievements of quantum metrology. Several
examples of Quantum Technologies based on entangled photons will be
presented, firstly in quantum communication, in particular Quantum
Teleportation and Quantum Cryptography. Quantum Computing and
Quantum Simulation will also be presented, including some insights into the
recently proposed Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing,
which raises a serious hope to demonstrate, in a near future, the actively
searched quantum advantage, ie, the possibility to effect calculations
exponentially faster than with classical computers.
In the final capstone project you will apply the skills you learned by building
a large data-intensive application using real-world data.\n\nYou will
implement a complete application processing several gigabytes of data.
This application will show interactive visualizations of the evolution of
École Polytechnique Fédérale de temperatures over time all over the world.\n\nThe development of such an
Functional Programming in Scala Capstone https://www.coursera.org/learn/scala-capstone
Lausanne application will involve:\n — transforming data provided by weather stations
into meaningful information like, for instance, the average temperature of
each point of the globe over the last ten years ;\n — then, making images
from this information by using spatial and linear interpolation techniques ;\n
— finally, implementing how the user interface will react to users’ actions.
Functional programming is becoming increasingly widespread in industry.
This trend is driven by the adoption of Scala as the main programming
language for many applications. Scala fuses functional and object-oriented
programming in a practical package. It interoperates seamlessly with both
Java and Javascript. Scala is the implementation language of many
important frameworks, including Apache Spark, Kafka, and Akka. It
provides the core infrastructure for sites such as Twitter, Tumblr and also
Coursera.\n\nIn this course you will discover the elements of the functional
programming style and learn how to apply them usefully in your daily
École Polytechnique Fédérale de programming tasks. You will also develop a solid foundation for reasoning
Functional Programming Principles in Scala https://www.coursera.org/learn/progfun1
Lausanne about functional programs, by touching upon proofs of invariants and the
tracing of execution symbolically.\n\nThe course is hands on; most units
introduce short programs that serve as illustrations of important concepts
and invite you to play with them, modifying and improving them. The course
is complemented by a series programming projects as homework
assignments.\n\nRecommended background: You should have at least one
year programming experience. Proficiency with Java or C# is ideal, but
experience with other languages such as C/C++, Python, Javascript or
Ruby is also sufficient. You should have some familiarity using the
command line.
This course is organized into two parts presenting the theoretical and
practical foundations of geographic information systems (GIS).\n- Together
theses courses constitute an introduction to GIS and require no prior
knowledge.\n- By following this introduction to GIS you will quickly acquire
the basic knowledge required to create spatial databases and produce high-
quality maps and cartographic representations.\n- This is a practical course
and is based on free, open-source software, including QGIS.\nIf you study
or work in the fields of land management or the analysis of geographically
distributed objects such as land use planning, biology, public health,
ecology, or energy, then this course is for you!\n\nIn this first part of the
course, we will focus on the digitization and the storage of geodata. In
particular, you will learn:\n- To characterize spatial objects and/or
phenomena (territory modeling) with respect to their position in space
(through coordinate systems, projections, and spatial relationships) and
according to their intrinsic nature (object/vector mode vs. Image/raster
mode); \n- About the different means used to acquire spatial data; including

source, etc.);\n- About the different ways in which geodata can be stored -
notably, files and relational databases;\n- How to use data modeling tools to
describe and create a spatial database;\n- To query and analyze data using
SQL, a common data manipulation language.\n\nThe second part of this
course will focus on methods of spatial analysis and geodata
representation. In this section, you will learn:\n- How to describe and
quantify the spatial properties of discrete variables, for example through
spatial autocorrelation;\n- To work with continuous variables. In particular,
we will look at sampling strategies, how to construct contour lines and
isovalue curves, and we will explore different interpolation methods;\n- To
use digital elevation models and create their derivative products (i.e. slope,
orientation);\n- How to evaluate the interaction between different types of
geodata through overlay and interaction techniques;\n- How to create
effective maps based around the rules of graphic semiology;\n- Finally, we
will also explore other, increasingly common, forms of spatial representation
such as interactive web-mapping and 3D representations.\n\nYou can find

There is an increasing attention to ethics in engineering practice. Engineers
are supposed not only to carry out their work competently and skilfully, but
also to be aware of the broader ethical and social implications of
engineering and to be able to reflect on these. According to the
Engineering Criteria 2000 of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) in the US, engineers must have “an understanding of
professional and ethical responsibility” and should "understand the impact
of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.” \n\nThis course
provides an introduction to ethics in engineering and technology. It helps
engineers and students in engineering to acquire the competences
mentioned in the ABET criteria or comparable criteria formulated in other
countries. More specifically, this course helps engineers to acquire the
following moral competencies:\n\n- Moral sensibility: the ability to recognize
social and ethical issues in engineering;\n- Moral analysis skills: the ability
to analyse moral problems in terms of facts, values, stakeholders and their
interests;\n- Moral creativity: the ability to think out different options for
Eindhoven University of https://www.coursera.org/learn/ethics-technology-
Ethics, Technology and Engineering action in the light of (conflicting) moral values and the relevant facts;\n-
Technology engineering
Moral judgement skills: the ability to give a moral judgement on the basis of
different ethical theories or frameworks including professional ethics and
common sense morality;\n- Moral decision-making skills: the ability to reflect
on different ethical theories and frameworks and to make a decision based
on that reflection.\n\nWith respect to these competencies, our focus is on
the concrete moral problems that engineers encounter in their professional
practice. With the help of concrete cases is shown how the decision to
develop a technology, as well as the process of design and production, is
inherently moral. The attention of the learners is drawn towards the specific
moral choices that engineers face. In relation to these concrete choices
learners will encounter different reasons for and against certain actions, and
they will discover that these reasons can be discussed. In this way, learners
become aware of the moral dimensions of technology and acquire the
argumentative capacities that are needed in moral debates with
stakeholders (e.g. governments, users, and commercial business
departments).
This course aims to help you to draw better statistical inferences from
empirical research. First, we will discuss how to correctly interpret p-values,
effect sizes, confidence intervals, Bayes Factors, and likelihood ratios, and
how these statistics answer different questions you might be interested in.
Then, you will learn how to design experiments where the false positive rate
is controlled, and how to decide upon the sample size for your study, for
example in order to achieve high statistical power. Subsequently, you will
learn how to interpret evidence in the scientific literature given widespread
publication bias, for example by learning about p-curve analysis. Finally, we
will talk about how to do philosophy of science, theory construction, and
cumulative science, including how to perform replication studies, why and
how to pre-register your experiment, and how to share your results following
Open Science principles. \n\nIn practical, hands on assignments, you will

Process mining is the missing link between model-based process analysis
and data-oriented analysis techniques. Through concrete data sets and
easy to use software the course provides data science knowledge that can
be applied directly to analyze and improve processes in a variety of
domains.\n\nData science is the profession of the future, because
organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not
survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The
data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis. Process mining
bridges the gap between traditional model-based process analysis (e.g.,
simulation and other business process management techniques) and data-
centric analysis techniques such as machine learning and data mining.
Process mining seeks the confrontation between event data (i.e., observed
behavior) and process models (hand-made or discovered automatically).
This technology has become available only recently, but it can be applied to
any type of operational processes (organizations and systems). Example
applications include: analyzing treatment processes in hospitals, improving

related to process models. Hence, we refer to this as "data science in
action".\n\nThe course explains the key analysis techniques in process
mining. Participants will learn various process discovery algorithms. These
can be used to automatically learn process models from raw event data.
Various other process analysis techniques that use event data will be
presented. Moreover, the course will provide easy-to-use software, real-life
data sets, and practical skills to directly apply the theory in a variety of
application domains.\n\nThis course starts with an overview of approaches
and technologies that use event data to support decision making and
business process (re)design. Then the course focuses on process mining
as a bridge between data mining and business process modeling. The
course is at an introductory level with various practical assignments.\n\nThe
course covers the three main types of process mining.\n\n1. The first type

Many real-world algorithmic problems cannot be solved efficiently using
traditional algorithmic tools, for example because the problems are NP-
hard. The goal of this course is to become familiar with important
algorithmic concepts and techniques needed to effectively deal with such
problems. These techniques apply when we don't require the optimal
solution to certain problems, but an approximation that is close to the
optimal solution. We will see how to efficiently find such approximations.
\n\nPrerequisites:\nIn order to successfully take this course, you should
already have a basic knowledge of algorithms and mathematics. Here's a
short list of what you are supposed to know:\n- O-notation, Ω-notation, Θ-
notation; how to analyze algorithms\n- Basic calculus: manipulating
summations, solving recurrences, working with logarithms, etc.\n- Basic
probability theory: events, probability distributions, random variables,
https://www.coursera.org/learn/approximation-
Approximation Algorithms EIT Digital expected values etc.\n- Basic data structures: linked lists, stacks, queues,
algorithms
heaps\n- (Balanced) binary search trees\n- Basic sorting algorithms, for
example MergeSort, InsertionSort, QuickSort\n- Graph terminology,
representations of graphs (adjacency lists and adjacency matrix), basic
graph algorithms (BFS, DFS, topological sort, shortest paths)\n\nThe
material for this course is based on the course notes that can be found
under the resources tab. We will not cover everything from the course
notes. The course notes are there both for students who did not fully
understand the lectures as well as for students who would like to dive
deeper into the topics.\n\nThe video lectures contain a few very minor
mistakes. A list of these mistakes can be found under resources (in the
document called "Errata"). If you think you found an error, report a problem
by clicking the square flag at the bottom of the lecture or quiz where you
found the error.
This course will teach you how to develop an embedded systems device. In
order to reduce the time to market, many pre-made hardware and software
components are available today. You'll discover all the available hardware
and software components, such as processor families, operating systems,
Architecting Smart IoT Devices EIT Digital https://www.coursera.org/learn/iot-architecture boards and networks. You'll also learn how to actually use and integrate
these components.\n\nAt the end of the course you will be ready to start
architecting and implementing your own embedded device! You'll learn how
to debug and finetune your device and how to make it run on a low power
supply.
In this course you will learn how to apply satisfiability (SAT/SMT) tools to
solve a wide range of problems.\nSeveral basic examples are given to get
the flavor of the applications: fitting rectangles to be applied for printing
posters, scheduling problems, solving puzzles, and program correctness.
Also underlying theory is presented: resolution as a basic approach for
https://www.coursera.org/learn/automated- propositional satisfiability, the CDCL framework to scale up for big formulas,
Automated Reasoning: satisfiability EIT Digital
reasoning-sat and the simplex method to deal with linear inequallities.\n\nThe light weight
approach to following this course is just watching the lectures and do the
corresponding quizzes. To get a flavor of the topic this may work out fine.
However, the much more interesting approach is to use this as a basis to
apply SAT/SMT yourself on several problems, for instance on the problems
presented in the honor's assignment.
This course presents how properties of acting systems and programs can
be verified automatically. The basic notion is a transition system: any
system that can be described by states and steps. We present how in CTL

Automated Reasoning: Symbolic Model Checking EIT Digital
reasoning-symbolic-model-checking with this is symbolic model checking: a way in which sets of states are
represented symbolically. A fruitful way to do so is by representing sets of
states by BDDs (binary decision diagrams).\nDefinitions and basic
properties of BDDs are presented in this course, and also algorithms to
compute them, as they are needed for doing CTL model checking.

Course Information: In many areas of computer science such as robotics,
computer graphics, virtual reality, and geographic information systems, it is
necessary to store, analyze, and create or manipulate spatial data. This
course deals with the algorithmic aspects of these tasks: we study
techniques and concepts needed for the design and analysis of geometric
algorithms and data structures. Each technique and concept will be
illustrated on the basis of a problem arising in one of the application areas
mentioned above.\n\nGoals:\nAt the end of this course participants should
be able\n- to decide which algorithm or data structure to use in order to
solve a given basic geometric problem,\n- to analyze new problems and
come up with their own efficient solutions using concepts and techniques
from the course.\n\nPrerequisites:\nIn order to successfully take this course,
you should already have a basic knowledge of algorithms and mathematics.

Operations on data become more expensive when the data item is located
higher in the memory hierarchy. An operation on data in CPU registers is
roughly a million times faster than an operation on a data item that is
located in external memory that needs to be fetched first. These data
fetches are also called I/O operations and need to be taken into account
during the design of an algorithm. The goal of this course is to become
familiar with important algorithmic concepts and techniques needed to
effectively deal with such problems. We will work with a simplified memory
hierarchy, but the notions extend naturally to more realistic models.

After having followed Privacy in the Western world you have become
acquainted with the overall global legal system and the origins of privacy as
a concept as well as privacy as a (human) right. This course deals with the
European legal system to protect privacy. European privacy protection is
based upon human rights treaties, both on a European level as well global
level such as, e.g. the UN Declaration on Human Rights. This course
outlines and deals with these human rights treaties as well as with the
specific rules and regulations that govern day to day privacy protection in
Europe. \n\nThe course deals with how the European cooperation came
into being after the devastating effects of World War II. Economic
cooperation was deemed necessary to prevent another war. From
economic cooperation other issues became part of the negotiations, and to
this day more and more policy fields have become part of the European
Privacy in Europe EIT Digital https://www.coursera.org/learn/privacy-eu
cooperation. Dealing with and having respect for different human rights is
paramount in this cooperation. And privacy protection and regulation has
become an increasingly important subject that has attracted a lot of global
attention. \n\nThe course deals with the different legal elements that have
played an important role into grabbing in legal terms the notion of privacy
and how the legally protect it. The rules that enable the exchange of
personal data between the USA and Europe is being dealt with. It also
deals with the constituting legal elements that have become part of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). \n\nAfter successful
completion of the course you will have sufficient baggage to know about the
important legal elements and historical background on the coming into
being of European privacy protection. I wish you a lot of success with
following the course.

Welcome to Quantitative Formal Modeling and Worst-Case Performance
Analysis. In this course, you will learn about modeling and solving
performance problems in a fashion popular in theoretical computer science,
and generally train your abstract thinking skills. \n\nAfter finishing this
course, you have learned to think about the behavior of systems in terms of
token production and consumption, and you are able to formalize this
thinking mathematically in terms of prefix orders and counting functions.
You have learned about Petri-nets, about timing, and about scheduling of
token consumption/production systems, and for the special class of Petri-
nets known as single-rate dataflow graphs, you will know how to perform a
worst-case analysis of basic performance metrics, like throughput, latency
and buffering.\n\nDisclaimer: As you will notice, there is an abundance of
small examples in this course, but at first sight there are not many industrial
size systems being discussed. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, it is
not my intention to teach you performance analysis skills up to the level of
what you will need in industry. Rather, I would like to teach you to think
Quantitative Formal Modeling and Worst-Case https://www.coursera.org/learn/quantitative-formal-
EIT Digital about modeling and performance analysis in general and abstract terms,
Performance Analysis modeling-1
because that is what you will need to do whenever you encounter any
performance analysis problem in the future. After all, abstract thinking is the
most revered skill required for any academic-level job in any engineering
discipline, and if you are able to phrase your problems mathematically, it will
become easier for you to spot mistakes, to communicate your ideas with
others, and you have already made a big step towards actually solving the
problem. Secondly, although dataflow techniques are applicable and being
used in industry, the subclass of single-rate dataflow is too restrictive to be
of practical use in large modeling examples. The analysis principles of other
dataflow techniques, however, are all based on single-rate dataflow. So this
course is a good primer for any more advanced course on the topic.\n\nThis
course is part of the university course on Quantitative Evaluation of
Embedded Systems (QEES) as given in the Embedded Systems master
curriculum of the EIT-Digital university, and of the Dutch 3TU consortium
consisting of TU/e (Eindhoven), TUD (Delft) and UT (Twente). The course
material is exactly the same as the first three weeks of QEES, but the
The integration of ICT (information and communications technology) in
different applications is rapidly increasing in e.g. Embedded and Cyber
physical systems, Communication protocols and Transportation systems.
Hence, their reliability and dependability increasingly depends on software.
Defects can be fatal and extremely costly (with regards to mass-production
of products and safety-critical systems).\n\nFirst, a model of the real system
has to be built. In the simplest case, the model reflects all possible states
that the system can reach and all possible transitions between states in a
(labelled) State Transition System. When adding probabilities and discrete
time to the model, we are dealing with so-called Discrete-time Markov
chains which in turn can be extended with continuous timing to Continuous-
time Markov chains. Both formalisms have been used widely for modeling

well understood, mathematically attractive while at the same time flexible
enough to model complex systems. \n\nModel checking focuses on the
qualitative evaluation of the model. As formal verification method, model
checking analyzes\nthe functionality of the system model. A property that
needs to be analyzed has to be specified in a logic with consistent syntax
and semantics. For every state of the model, it is then checked whether the
property is valid or not.\nThe main focus of this course is on quantitative
model checking for Markov chains, for which we will discuss efficient
computational algorithms. The learning objectives of this course are as
follows:\n\n- Express dependability properties for different kinds of transition
systems .\n- Compute the evolution over time for Markov chains.\n- Check
whether single states satisfy a certain formula and compute the satisfaction
set for properties.

Integrated landscape management and large-scale landscape restoration
should be in every company’s business strategy because in order to reach
the Sustainable Development Goal on Land Degradation Neutrality (SDG
Number 15.3) scaling up and acceleration of business-driven landscape
restoration is urgently needed.\n\nThis requires business professionals with
a vision, the right knowledge and skills. This MOOC aims to train the next
generation of business professionals and developers to acknowledge
business’ interdependency with healthy landscapes and understand the
value of ecosystem resources.\n\n“Historically, we have found countless
ways to justify our continued exploitation of the environment: discovery,
tradition, Manifest Destiny, even Chinese hoax. But we’re all out of excuses
now. Each passing day swells the data on greenhouse gases and extreme
weather, shrinking reservoirs and rising sea levels, and diminishing
biodiversity. Our resources are finite, the window for change if not firmly
shut, is certainly closing, and all life must adapt or be doomed.”\n\nTéa

Restoration restoration-sustainable-development
This course is about landscape degradation – a global and wicked problem
that is contributing to the dooming prospect of depletion of Earth’s finite
resources. But this course is also about the solutions to this problem –
business driven landscape restoration.\nSo rather than leaving you
powerless with the prospect Obreht puts fowards above, it is our hope that
you learn how you can be part of the solution to making sure that Planet
Earth still provides a safe and habitable home for future generations. \nWe
must act big and we must act now.\nWith this course we want to pass on

Hi and welcome to this course! \n\nWould you like to learn about the latest
valuation methods that may help you to make better business decisions?
Then 'Advanced Valuation and Strategy – M&A, Private Equity, and Venture
Capital' by Erasmus University Rotterdam is the right course for you! This
course is helpful for executives that need to value complete strategies and
for all students interested in corporate finance and strategy. We present the
latest tools and show you how to apply them!\n\nWe will revolutionize your
way of decision making, by extending static techniques from corporate
finance with dynamic methods to quantify strategic thinking. Traditionally,
we assess the attractiveness of an investment as a mature business, where
future cash flows mainly result from past decisions. But, in an ever-
changing world, strategic decisions determine the firm’s long-term success
and market value. Yet managers often have to consider these long-term
implications using intuition and experience alone, with little guidance from
structured, quantitative analysis.\n\nOur treatment goes far beyond the use
of standard valuation analysis. We introduce the expanded NPV, which

strategic questions such as: How do you value a leveraged buyout? How
can you value a high-tech venture with negative cash flows? When should
you invest in new ventures in stages? How can you incorporate rival bidders
in the analysis?\n\nThe tools we provide can improve your decisions in
business and in daily life.\n\n* Who is this class for?\nWe hope that our
course appeals to (graduate) students in finance, economics, and business,

The goal of this MOOC is to show that econometric methods are often
needed to answer questions. A question comes first, then data are to be
collected, and then finally the model or method comes in. Depending on the
data, however, it can happen that methods need to be adapted. For
example, where we first look at two variables, later we may need to look at
three or more. Or, when data are missing, what then do we do? And, if the
data are counts, like the number of newspaper articles citing someone, then
matters may change too. But these modifications always come last, and are
considered only when relevant. \n\nAn important motivation for me to make
https://www.coursera.org/learn/enjoyable- this MOOC is to emphasize that econometric models and methods can also
Enjoyable Econometrics Erasmus University Rotterdam
econometrics be applied to more unconventional settings, which are typically settings
where the practitioner has to collect his or her own data first. Such
collection can be done by carefully combining existing databases, but also
by holding surveys or running experiments. A byproduct of having to collect
your own data is that this helps to choose amongst the potential methods
and techniques that are around.\n\nIf you are searching for a MOOC on
econometrics that treats (mathematical and statistical) methods of
econometrics and their applications, you may be interested in the Coursera
course “Econometrics: Methods and Applications” that is also from Erasmus

people have been urbanized. That translates into the fact that more than
half of the world’s population is already living in cities. Experts forecast that
very soon Africa will become one of the most urbanized continents.
However, almost 70% of world’s urban population is living in the cities
where governments are struggling to provide basic services like sanitation,
schools, hospitals, and adequate clean water. \n\nThe reason is that, their
governments do not have enough money. This may also be true also for the

Wondering why economists have not predicted serious financial crises?
Shocked by economic assumptions of human behavior as self-centered
and focusing only on what can be measured? Asking yourself if there are
no sensible economic alternatives to free markets? Then you are at the
right place to learn economics! \n\nThis is the first online course that
teaches economics from a pluralist perspective. Economic pluralism means
that a plurality of theoretical and methodological viewpoints is regarded as
valuable in itself and is simply the best way in which economics can make
progress in understanding the world. This MOOC will illustrate economic
pluralism not only in substance but also in form. You will see not only me, a
Professor of Economics, but also a pop-up Prof of our business school, who
illustrates the actor perspective of firms, government and civil society. And
you will meet an online student, based in Greece, who will help you through
the tutorial videos in which I will explain key concepts, tools and techniques.
\n\nI will not limit myself to the dominant theory, as almost every other
course does. Instead, I will introduce you to four very different economic
https://www.coursera.org/learn/intro-economic-
Introduction to Economic Theories Erasmus University Rotterdam theories for the whole set of standard topics in microeconomics and
theories
macroeconomics. The theories are presented every time from broad and
more interdisciplinary to narrow and more mathematical. The four theories
that I like to introduce you to are Social Economics, Institutional Economics,
Post Keynesian economics and, at the very end of each topic, Neoclassical
Economics, for the special case of ideally functioning markets. But not
everything is different in this course. Like every economics course, it
includes numbers, diagrams, tables, equations, and some calculations.
\n\nWhy would you go through the effort of learning the basics of four
theories instead of one? Because it will help you to see why many
economists cannot predict crises, whereas others can see signals but are
often not being listened to because they do not belong to the dominant
school of thought. It will also enable you to see that it is just one theory
claiming economic agents to be self-centered and focusing on the
measurable only. Other economic theories go well beyond these limitations.
And, finally, the pluralist approach will provide you with policy alternatives to
neoliberalist policies promoting free markets. \n\nThe objective of this
Welcome to this MOOC on Local Economic Development (LED). Local
economic development refers to the processes by which local governments,
businesses, and civil society groups get together to raise income
sustainably and improve their lives in a well-defined area. It’s about creating
jobs, securing livelihoods, improving infrastructure and managing local
resources.\n\nWhat do I learn?\n\nWe will be dealing with questions such
as the following. Why does economic development take place in some
areas of the world and not in others? Why doesn’t it happen in your place?
What prevents people from having the lives they want to live right there?
Could your region make more of the opportunities of globalization and new
technologies? Did the promises of decentralization in your country fail to
deliver better public services and more responsive governments? If these
are the questions you are asking yourself, this is the right course for you. It
explores the where, who and how of economic development.\n\nPlease
have a look at our list of contents for the coming 8 weeks:\n1.\tWhat is
LED? What drives it?\n2.\tHow does globalization shape LED?\n3.\tHow
https://www.coursera.org/learn/local-economic-

innovation?\n5.\tWhat are entrepreneurship and its dimensions?\n6.\tWhy
are value chains and clusters so important?\n7.\tWhat are some LED
strategies?\n8.\tYour project\n\nHow will I learn?\n\nIn each week you will
be able to access the content of the videos, suggested readings and
additional videos for selective deepening. You will also find assignments
that you have to complete if you want to earn a certificate for this MOOC.
We will first introduce our “toolkit”, a series of theories and concepts that will
help you read the situation in your locality. We will explore the main factors
affecting local economic development, such as globalization,
decentralisation, and competitiveness. We will discuss key components,
like entrepreneurship and innovation and look into the organization of local
economies into clusters, value chains and learning regions. We will
conclude by deepening on some specific constructs that make local
economies grow to benefit their communities. You will also contribute your
ideas in the discussion forums, where you will learn from other participants
around the world. \n\nWhat makes this course special? \nThere is plenty of
From William Harvey discovering the circulation of blood to Albert Einstein
developing the theory of relativity: almost all scientific research starts from
something odd and unexpected that hasn't been explained yet, and,
subsequently, the scientist creatively imagining possible explanations for it,
formulating hypotheses.\n\nHowever, the problem with formulating
hypotheses is the "theory-ladenness of observation": ones expectations and
background theories curtail and determine what one observes. The best
way to reduce the negative consequences of theory-ladenness of
observation as much as possible, is not by adopting the highest
methodological standards, but by continuing to think outside the box
throughout the problem solving process, by tirelessly, creatively imagining
alternative explanations and hypotheses.\n\nIn this learning experience you
https://www.coursera.org/learn/mind-of-the- will be turned upside down by philosopher Tim de Mey, who will challenge
Mind of the Universe: Science in Progress Erasmus University Rotterdam
universe-science-in-progress you to think outside of your comfort zone. You will be challenged to reflect
critically and creatively on what triggers your research, i.e., what is driving
the scientist in you. Tim will show you how openness to and interaction with
other disciplines generates new ideas, and how important it is that
scientists, besides the possibilities of their own discipline, are also aware of
its (and there) limitations. Take this challenge and you will construct the
perfect out-of-the-box research question that will tease the Mind of the
Universe scientists to explore even better answers in their research.\n\nThis
online learning experience is a spin-off of The Mind of the Universe
documentary series created by the Dutch broadcasting company VPRO and
professor Robbert Dijkgraaf, Princeton University. A number of universities
in the Netherlands have used the open source material of the documentary
series as a starting point to create similar experiences.
Climate change poses a threat to economic growth and long-term
prosperity of many countries around the world. Africa is not an exception,
considering the actual and potential impacts of climate change and climate
variability that will threaten its vulnerable sectors and human populations.
African countries are projected to experience changing rainfall patterns,
rising sea levels, and higher temperatures that will affect food security,
agricultural production, water availability, and public health, among others.
These climate change impacts and climate variability can further produce
social and political problems, such as rural-urban migration and water
resource disputes. \n\nFurthermore, the low levels of development in
many African countries, as well as limited institutional, infrastructural, and
technical capacities to respond successfully to climate change impacts and
climate variability, can exacerbate the situation. In terms of contribution to
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, although African countries are the
lightest polluters, it has also become apparent that alternative energy
sources can offset the increasing energy demand and dependence on
https://www.coursera.org/learn/climate-change-
Planning for Climate Change in African Cities Erasmus University Rotterdam biomass. Addressing climate change offers possibilities for low-carbon
africa
development. Moreover, there are promising mechanisms that can address
both climate change actions and development goals simultaneously. \n\nAt
the city level, strengthening resilience, or the ability to respond to and
absorb the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner
and to sustain this ability in the future, and adaptation; the process of
adjusting to actual or expected climate change stimuli or their effects,
should be at the forefront of planning. Local governments have an
important role to play through the provision of adequate infrastructure,
regulation of land use, and other public services that are crucial for urban
resilience. Mobilizing local governments, in collaboration with national
governments, non-governmental organizations, and international
organizations, among others, is also critical for an integrated multi-sectoral
approach to climate change. \n\nThe Course on Planning for Climate
Change in African Cities provides the foundation for understanding cities’
exposure and sensitivity to climate change, and how cities can manage
these impacts in the face of growing uncertainty. It does so by introducing
Welcome to this massive open online course (MOOC) about Qualitative
Comparative Analysis (QCA). Please read the points below before you start
the course. This will help you prepare well for the course and attend it
properly. It will also help you determine if the course offers the knowledge
and skills you are looking for.\n\nWhat can you do with QCA?\n•\tQCA is a
comparative method that is mainly used in the social sciences for the
assessment of cause-effect relations (i.e. causation). \n•\tQCA is relevant
for researchers who normally work with qualitative methods and are looking
for a more systematic way of comparing and assessing cases. \n•\tQCA is
also useful for quantitative researchers who like to assess alternative (more
complex) aspects of causation, such as how factors work together in
producing an effect.\n•\tQCA can be used for the analysis of cases on all
levels: macro (e.g. countries), meso (e.g. organizations) and micro (e.g.
individuals).\n•\tQCA is mostly used for research of small- and medium-
sized samples and populations (10-100 cases), but it can also be used for
larger groups. Ideally, the number of cases is at least 10. QCA cannot be
https://www.coursera.org/learn/qualitative-
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) Erasmus University Rotterdam used if you are doing an in-depth study of one case.\n\nWhat will you learn
comparative-analysis
in this course?\n•\tThe course is designed for people who have no or little
experience with QCA.\n•\tAfter the course you will understand the
methodological foundations of QCA. \n•\tAfter the course you will know how
to conduct a basic QCA study by yourself. \n\nHow is this course
organized?\n•\tThe MOOC takes five weeks. The specific learning
objectives and activities per week are mentioned in appendix A of the
course guide. Please find the course guide under Resources in the main
menu. \n•\tThe learning objectives with regard to understanding the
foundations of QCA and practically conducting a QCA study are pursued
throughout the course. However, week 1 focuses more on the general
analytic foundations, and weeks 2 to 5 are more about the practical aspects
of a QCA study.\n•\tThe activities of the course include watching the videos,
consulting supplementary material where necessary, and doing
assignments. The activities should be done in that order: first watch the
videos; then consult supplementary material (if desired) for more details
and examples; then do the assignments.\n•\tThere are 10 assignments.
In this MOOC you will learn about the theory and practice of 'regulated
competition' (also known as 'managed competition') in healthcare systems.
Many countries have implemented or consider implementation of regulated
competition in healthcare. Examples include Australia, Belgium, Chile,
Colombia, Germany, Ireland, Israel, The Netherlands, Switzerland and the
United States. After completing this MOOC, you will be able to explain how
regulated competition (in theory) promotes affordability, accessibility and
Regulated Competition in Healthcare Systems: https://www.coursera.org/learn/regulated- efficiency of healthcare. Moreover, you will be able to explain why (in
Erasmus University Rotterdam
Theory & Practice competition-healthcare-systems practice) successful implementation of regulated competition is very
complex and often requires difficult trade-offs between policy objectives.
We think this MOOC is highly valuable to any student, researcher or
professional interested in healthcare system reform and design. Specific
topics in this MOOC include a typology of healthcare systems, the
economics of healthcare markets, theory and preconditions of regulated
competition, risk adjustment and risk selection in health insurance,
competition policy and provider payment.
Have you ever wondered how playing games can help us to train people,
deal with societal challenges or raise awareness of contemporary social
issues? \n\nIn this MOOC you will learn the ins and outs of games that are
designed with exactly those purposes in mind: serious games. We will
define serious games and discuss the different types that have been
developed. We will explain why people like to play them and what impact
they may have. State of the art theories from game studies, philosophy and
media psychology will be used to help you understand how serious games
work and how they appeal to players. The potential impact of gaming is
addressed in detail by discussing persuasive games, which aim at changing
Serious Gaming Erasmus University Rotterdam https://www.coursera.org/learn/serious-gaming
the player's attitude. Throughout the MOOC, theoretical insights will be
illustrated with playful animations and case studies of serious games that
are developed by world-class companies in the city of Rotterdam. \n\nThis
MOOC is particularly interesting for you when you are a student considering
to study digital media such as serious games, a professional interested in
the opportunities these games may create for your organization, or a game
developer who wants to know more about the impact serious games can
have.\n\nWatch the teaser for this MOOC here:

broaden your vision on serious games? Join this course and be inspired!
Who is this course for? \nThis course is designed for students, business
analysts, and data scientists who want to apply statistical knowledge and
techniques to business contexts. For example, it may be suited to
experienced statisticians, analysts, engineers who want to move more into
a business role, in particular in marketing.\n\nYou will find this course
exciting and rewarding if you already have a background in statistics, can
use R or another programming language and are familiar with databases
and data analysis techniques such as regression, classification, and
clustering.\nHowever, it contains a number of recitals and R Studio tutorials
which will consolidate your competences, enable you to play more freely
with data and explore new features and statistical functions in
R.\n\nBusiness Analytics, Big Data and Data Science are very hot topics
today, and for good reasons. Companies are sitting on a treasure trove of
data, but usually lack the skills and people to analyze and exploit that data
https://www.coursera.org/learn/foundations- efficiently. Those companies who develop the skills and hire the right
Foundations of marketing analytics ESSEC Business School
marketing-analytics people to analyze and exploit that data will have a clear competitive
advantage.\n\nIt's especially true in one domain: marketing. About 90% of
the data collected by companies today are related to customer actions and
marketing activities.The domain of Marketing Analytics is absolutely huge,
and may cover fancy topics such as text mining, social network analysis,
sentiment analysis, real-time bidding, online campaign optimization, and so
on.\n\nBut at the heart of marketing lie a few basic questions that often
remain unanswered: (1) who are my customers, (2) which customers
should I target and spend most of my marketing budget on, and (3) what's
the future value of my customers so I can concentrate on those who will be
worth the most to the company in the future.\n\nThat's exactly what this
course will cover: segmentation is all about understanding your customers,
scorings models are about targeting the right ones, and customer lifetime
value is about anticipating their future value. These are the foundations of
Marketing Analytics. And that's what you'll learn to do in this course.
Who is this course for? \nThis course is designed for students, business
analysts, and data scientists who want to apply statistical knowledge and
techniques to business contexts. For example, it may be suited to
experienced statisticians, analysts, engineers who want to move more into
a business role. \n\nYou will find this course exciting and rewarding if you

competences, enable you to play more freely with data and explore new
features and statistical functions in R.\n\nWith this course, you’ll have a first
overview on Strategic Business Analytics topics. We’ll discuss a wide
variety of applications of Business Analytics. From Marketing to Supply
Chain or Credit Scoring and HR Analytics, etc. We’ll cover many different
https://www.coursera.org/learn/strategic-business-
Foundations of strategic business analytics ESSEC Business School data analytics techniques, each time explaining how to be relevant for your
analytics
business.\n\nWe’ll pay special attention to how you can produce
convincing, actionable, and efficient insights. We'll also present you with
different data analytics tools to be applied to different types of issues.\nBy
doing so, we’ll help you develop four sets of skills needed to leverage value
from data: Analytics, IT, Business and Communication. \n\nBy the end of
this MOOC, you should be able to approach a business issue using
Analytics by (1) qualifying the issue at hand in quantitative terms, (2)
conducting relevant data analyses, and (3) presenting your conclusions and
recommendations in a business-oriented, actionable and efficient
way.\n\nPrerequisites : 1/ Be able to use R or to program 2/ To know the
fundamentals of databases, data analysis (regression, classification,

All of us are aware that cultural differences are significant and that they
affect how we interact with others in business and in leisure activities. But
what is culture exactly, and how does it impact on negotiation, in particular?
\n\nThis course will help you to be more precise about different dimensions
of culture, from one region or country to another, while helping you to avoid
simplifications, clichés and stereotypes. It will also lead you to a better
overall awareness of your own culture.\n\nIn addition the course modules
will guide you to a better understanding of when and how cultural
differences are likely to influence the different dimensions of a negotiation -
https://www.coursera.org/learn/international- the people, problems and processes. Armed with that understanding, your
International and Cross-Cultural Negotiation ESSEC Business School
negotiation awareness, preparation and strategy will be enhanced when you are faced
with negotiators from cultures and regions different from your own. Your
ability to anticipate and react, your negotiation flexibility, will be improved
and refined.\n\nThe course also gives you a concrete look at quite different
national and regional negotiation styles (we look at the French, Chinese,
North American and Middle Eastern). In addition, an examination of
negotiation in two multicultural settings (European Union institutions, on the
one hand, and the recent COP 21 climate conference in Paris, on the other)
highlights the importance of well-designed negotiation processes for getting
both efficiency and fairness.

fundamentals more!\n\nIndeed, negotiation is not simply about deciding who gets what
now – it is first and foremost about creating productive, fair, and therefore
long-term partnerships. This course guides you through innovative and
proven approaches – “win-win…but not at any price”.\n\nTogether with its
specialization, this course will lead you towards high impact and sustainable
negotiations at all levels, whether finding solutions to people management
issues, sealing a deal on a sales package, or entering into high-level
strategic or political negotiations involving multi-party stakeholders.
This course has been designed to help you apply knowledge, skills, and
know-how you have developed in negotiation and in mediation, both as a
result of your own practice and the follow up of the previous Courses of the
ESSEC “Negotiation, Mediation, and Conflict Resolution”
specialization.\n\nBefore you enroll this course, we strongly recommend
that you acquire the necessary pre-requisites. A number of tools, concepts,
and methods are outlined in 3 MOOCS: Negotiation Fundamentals, Cross-
cultural Negotiations, and Mediation & Conflict Resolution. \n\nTo be more
specific, the following subjects must be mastered:\n- Get prepared for any
negotiation; \n- Avoid traps;\n- Know how to prompt value-creating
partnerships;\n- Structure an effective negotiation sequence; \n- Bargain in
an efficient and respectful manner; \n- Overcome deadlocks;\n- Manager
cultural differences in a negotiation;\n- Define what a mediation is and
choose when to use it;\n- List different types of mediation;\n- Identify typical
challenges and difficulties that most mediators face;\n- Choose the
adequate strategies within a repertoire of options;\n- Identify the do’s and

Capstone Project
everything together, sharpen your skills and enhance your command of
negotiation techniques and behaviors.\n\nWe’ve designed this MOOC in a
highly interactive way. You will be engaged in a negotiation with peers. You
will demonstrate your improved capacity to analyze, and therefore conduct,
negotiations and mediation.\n\nThis capstone project will comprise three
exercises. Here is an overview.\n\nIn the first exercise, you will analyse a
real-life negotiation of your own choice. As an expert of negotiation
dynamics, you will provide your reader with a detailed analysis of this real
negotiation. Indeed as a professional, your task might not always be to
conduct a negotiation - but to analyse what is going on in a given
negotiation, or to help others (your boss, for instance) get ready for a high-
stake negotiation. Guidelines will be provided in a separate document, to
help you structure your assignment. \n\nFor the second exercise, you will
negotiate directly with a peer. We’ve prepared a business case inspired
from a true story. \n\nThe third exercise is linked to the previous one.
Imagine that this negotiation is not successful, and that the relationship

by reviewing critical material properties in design, such as stress, strength,
and the coefficient of thermal expansion. We then transition into static
failure theories such as von Mises theory, which can be utilized to prevent
failure in static loading applications such as the beams in bridges. Finally,
we will learn fatigue failure criteria for designs with dynamic loads, such as
the input shaft in the transmission of a car.
Have you ever wondered why ceramics are hard and brittle while metals
tend to be ductile? Why some materials conduct heat or electricity while
others are insulators? Why adding just a small amount of carbon to iron
results in an alloy that is so much stronger than the base metal? In this
course, you will learn how a material’s properties are determined by the
microstructure of the material, which is in turn determined by composition
and the processing that the material has undergone.\n\nThis is the first of
Material Behavior Georgia Institute of Technology https://www.coursera.org/learn/material-behavior
three Coursera courses that mirror the Introduction to Materials Science
class that is taken by most engineering undergrads at Georgia Tech. The
aim of the course is to help students better understand the engineering
materials that are used in the world around them. This first section covers
the fundamentals of materials science including atomic structure and
bonding, crystal structure, atomic and microscopic defects, and
noncrystalline materials such as glasses, rubbers, and polymers.

These are very unique times for brain research. The aperitif for the course
will thus highlight the present “brain-excitements” worldwide. You will then
become intimately acquainted with the operational principles of neuronal
“life-ware” (synapses, neurons and the networks that they form) and
consequently, on how neurons behave as computational microchips and
how they plastically and constantly change - a process that underlies
Synapses, Neurons and Brains Hebrew University of Jerusalem https://www.coursera.org/learn/synapses learning and memory. Recent heroic attempts to realistically simulate large
cortical networks in the computer will be highlighted (e.g., “the Blue Brain
Project”) and processes related to perception, cognition and emotions in the
brain will be discussed. For dessert we will deliberate on the future of brain
research, including the questions of “brain and art”, consciousness and free

highly complex and uncertain landscape.\n\nIn this class, you will not only
learn the academic and theoretical aspects of strategic foresight,
uncertainty and planning. We will also discuss very practical examples,
ranging from a discussion on choosing the best outfit for a walk in the
Anticipating Your Next Battle, in Business and
HEC Paris https://www.coursera.org/learn/anticipate countryside to building a vision and strategy for a corporation as a CEO. In
Beyond
practical assessments, you will apply this broad approach to sample

Successful contemporary business relies on the ability of all its employees
to be creative. Creativity can be developed and refined, albeit with effort
and practice. The first goal of this course is to provide a variety of
experiences and activities with the aim of developing the creative abilities of
each participant. A second goal is to understand the importance of creativity
from a consumer perspective. Consumers are being offered more and more
opportunities to customize their products and services, and are increasingly
seeking to express their creativity through their purchasing choices. As
entrepreneurs, we have the ability to shape the consumer environment in
ways that help consumers enhance their own creative abilities, and develop

innovation
anyone who wants to understand what we actually know (as opposed to
what we think we know) about human creativity, and how to use this
knowledge to think differently and productively about business challenges.
As the focus is on creativity as a cognitive function, it does not matter what
your background is, what industry you come from or want to enter.
\n\nAfter completing this course, past students report having acquired a set
of strategies that enable them to tackle business problems with a fresh
perspective.\n\nThis course is part of the HEC Paris MSc in Innovation and
Entrepreneurship. If you are admitted to the full program, your coursework
will count towards your degree program
When taking this course, you will raise your own self-awareness and gain
self-confidence for a better leadership. \nYou will discover a new approach
to leadership based on trust and sense. \nThe “Savoir-Relier” leadership, a
new approach of leadership, taught to HEC MBA’s student and top
executives, enables better team leadership and encourages relationships
between people in spite of their differences of opinion. \n\nYou will develop
relational skills, self-knowledge and self-awareness on the way to unfold
your own leadership style. You’ll learn the skills of The Savoir-Relier (SR)
methodology for better connecting with yourself or others by going through
the following 4 steps for successful leadership: Introspection, Conversation,
Resilience and Responsibility toward Value Creation. \nIn this first MOOC of
the "Inspirational Leadership" specialization, you will practice the first two
steps of the method for successful leadership: Introspection and
Conversation. You will get to know yourself better during the Introspection
Building Your Leadership Skills HEC Paris https://www.coursera.org/learn/leadership-skills
part and get a chance to improve your communication skills in order to
better interact with others. You will meet people like you who will share their
stories and their experience with Savoir-Relier and why it is so inspiring for
them in their life. Together, you’ll develop greater self-awareness by
developing a leadership self-portrait and going through fun activities to
increase your empathy and communication.\n\nLeaders from different
organizations and participants of the HEC Paris Leadership Certificate, the
program from which this course and specialization are inspired, will share
with you their insights about what it takes to become a great leader and
what they are able to achieve now that they apply The Savoir-Relier
methodology. \n\nThis course is part of the specialization “Inspirational
Leadership: Leading with Sense”. In the next courses, you'll go through the
second two steps of leadership: Resilience and Responsibility toward Value
Creation.
Innovation goes beyond technology, products and processes. The new
competitive landscape requires another, more holistic and strategic
perspective, based on the concept of business models.\n\nThis course
gives you access to the Odyssey 3.14 approach, a pioneering framework
that will help you invent or reinvent business models.\n\nThis highly
innovative approach has been developed by Laurence Lehmann-Ortega
and Hélène Musikas and has proven to be a very valuable methodology for
start-up entrepreneurs, business unit managers and intrapreneurs alike. It
offers a practical and highly effective framework and toolbox to create,
invent or reinvent business models in a very disciplined way.\n\nThe
approach starts with a deep dive into the 3 pillars of the business model:\n-
The value proposition (who are our customers and what are we offering
them?)\n- The value architecture (how are we organized in order to deliver
this value proposition to our customers in due time)\n- The profit equation
Business Model Innovation HEC Paris https://www.coursera.org/learn/business-model (how the alignment between the first 2 pillars generates a profit)\n\n14
directions are then explored in order to invent or reinvent a business model.
Examples of the directions include “reducing clients overall costs”,
“modifying the revenue stream”, “introducing a third party”, “eliminating a
step in the value chain”, and “exploring new resources”. Illustrated by
numerous examples, both iconic (Ikea, Tetra Pack, Grameen Bank…) and
more recent (Airbnb, Zopa, Drive Now…), these directions stimulate your
creativity to rigorously explore all possible innovation paths. Innovation
becomes an adventure, an odyssey… hence the name of the
approach!\n\nOdyssey 3.14 is the result of over 15 years of research,
consulting and teaching. Over 150 companies that have successfully
invented or reinvented their business model have been thoroughly analyzed
and will inspire you to develop your own new, innovative business
model.\n\nThis course is a part of the MSIE program at HEC. If you liked it,
do not hesitate to consult the other courses of the program.
Welcome to the capstone project course in the Coursera Inspirational
Leadership Specialization! \nIn the next 6 weeks you'll apply the skills you
learned in the Specialization to tackle a real world leadership challenge.
\n\nTo better meet your own goals of taking this Specialization, we will
provide one capstone project: \n\n-Personal leadership challenge; \n\nYou'll
select one project to implement and will receive assessments from your
Capstone peers. No matter which option you choose, the capstone project
will examine your skills, including self-awareness, developing quality
relationships and trust, resilience, and how making decisions entails a
strong sense of responsibility.\n\nFor the personal challenge, you will work
on your own question addressing your capacity to grow as a leader. A
challenge can be a target objective (starting a company, running a project,
designing a product, winning a competition, running a marathon…) you
have for yourself which puts into question what you want to achieve and
how. The Capstone will help you measure the challenge, establish a
process and build the steps to meet your goals.\n\nWhatever personal
CAPSTONE: Your Leadership Challenge HEC Paris https://www.coursera.org/learn/leadership-challenge challenge you choose, specific questions will attest to your capacity to
analyze and criticize the the problem which is faced by by yourself.\n\nThe
process that will drive the Business plan will follow step by step the
relational circuit model developed in MOOC2 “Giving Sense to your
Leadership Experience” and MOOC3 “Leading Organizations” with its two
phases of Exploration and Projection.\n\nIn the EXPLORATION, you will
engage in a first step of holistic perception of the problem using your
sensible skills to give a sense of perspective and give voice to you
subjective apprehension of the situation as a whole. The second stage of
exploration will involve your analytical skills to understand each and every
component (elements of data relevant to the challenge) that plays a role in
defining the situation. And the third stage of exploration will apply your
relational skills where you will make sense and connect your subjective
perception with your analysis. You will share the exploration results with
peers to receive feedback before your can move on.\n\nThe second phase,

We are in constant relationship with many organizations. Our world is
submitted to regular changes as organizations evolve, come and go.
Understanding your memberships and attachments to organizations will
help you act on your world. You'll learn how to evaluate the influence of
organizations around you and how to transform your relationships to reach
a stronger coherence.\n\nDo you feel sometime that the world around you
is disorganized? Can you make sense of all the information at your reach
and have an impact on this situation? Have you ever thought that this
conundrum may be due to all the organizations that emerge, strive or wane,
and disappear every day? \n\nOrganizations are ubiquitous, from clubs and
associations to firms and public agencies. Organizations confer meaning to
all of us, and our attachment and membership to organizations have a
profound effect on all areas of our lives. But in our increasingly turbulent
world, these organizations run the risk of disappearing or losing their
legitimacy, steering a sense of pointlessness and absurdity.\n\nThis course
Time to Reorganize! Understand Organizations, develops an integrative approach to understanding organizations and their

strategically to protect and renew the sense of membership and attachment
of individuals. So doing, organizations that survive and thrive impose their
logics of action onto society, thereby influencing what is legitimate or not.
\n\nIn turn, individuals, you, all of us, must reinterpret our multiple
associations with organizations and contribute to reinforce or inhibit social
evolutions. This new way of understanding organizations’ relationships with
society results in reconsidering management and the role of individuals in
building their future.\n\nThere is no prerequisite to this course, you are all
welcome ! Students and people interested in the fields of management,
sociology, strategy, economics leadership etc… will benefit a lot from this
course.\n\nFor the session of this course starting on January 11th,
Professor Rodolphe Durand will actively be participating and interacting with
learners. He will be offering "office hours" sessions through google
hangouts and answering learner questions from the forums. We hope this
direct interaction will add to your learner experience! Please enroll today!
Regardless of where you live, the European Union not only affects your life,
but may also transform it. By learning how Europe works, a new world will
open up to you and \ndiscover new jobs you never heard of.\n\nThe
European Union has a large, yet often unnoticed, impact on many aspects
of everybody’s life. We will analyze what the EU is doing for YOU
regardless of where you live. We will also look at what YOU can do for and
in Europe.\n\nWhether you are traveling, eating, working, doing business,
shopping, surfing the Internet or breathing, all these activities are largely
shaped by the EU. As a result no global citizen, business leader, lawmaker,
lobbyist or student can effectively operate in Europe or in the world without
a solid understanding of this unique laboratory of integration. \n\nWhile the

other countries took centuries to realize. The EU remains the most
accomplished experiment of economic, social and political integration in
human history.\n\nGiven its inherent complexities, this Course aims at
empowering you on what Europe can offer and will enable you to discover
jobs and opportunities you were not aware of. Indeed, throughout the whole
course, participants will be confronted with real-life examples of EU action.
EU affairs professionals will share their personal EU experiences and tell us
about their EU jobs. You will also be able to interact with the instructor and
other participants, share your opinions, question the instructor’s
assumptions and hence shape the course’s content.

The Library of Integrative Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) is an
NIH Common Fund program. The idea is to perturb different types of
human cells with many different types of perturbations such as: drugs and
other small molecules; genetic manipulations such as knockdown or
overexpression of single genes; manipulation of the extracellular
microenvironment conditions, for example, growing cells on different
surfaces, and more. These perturbations are applied to various types of
human cells including induced pluripotent stem cells from patients,
differentiated into various lineages such as neurons or cardiomyocytes.
Then, to better understand the molecular networks that are affected by
these perturbations, changes in level of many different variables are
measured including: mRNAs, proteins, and metabolites, as well as cellular
phenotypic changes such as changes in cell morphology. The BD2K-LINCS

and the various Centers that collect data for LINCS. We then cover
metadata and how metadata is linked to ontologies. We then present data
processing and normalization methods to clean and harmonize LINCS data.
This follow discussions about how data is served as RESTful APIs. Most
importantly, the course covers computational methods including: data
clustering, gene-set enrichment analysis, interactive data visualization, and
supervised learning. Finally, we introduce crowdsourcing/citizen-science
projects where students can work together in teams to extract expression
signatures from public databases and then query such collections of
signatures against LINCS data for predicting small molecules as potential
therapeutics.
An introduction to dynamical modeling techniques used in contemporary

experimental techniques as their approach in the laboratory and employ
computational modeling as a tool to draw deeper understanding of
Icahn School of Medicine at
Dynamical Modeling Methods for Systems Biology https://www.coursera.org/learn/dynamical-modeling experiments. The course should also be valuable as an introductory
Mount Sinai
overview for students planning to conduct original research in modeling
biological systems.\n\nThis course focuses on dynamical modeling
techniques used in Systems Biology research. These techniques are based
on biological mechanisms, and simulations with these models generate
predictions that can subsequently be tested experimentally. These testable
predictions frequently provide novel insight into biological processes. The
approaches taught here can be grouped into the following categories: 1)
ordinary differential equation-based models, 2) partial differential equation-
based models, and 3) stochastic models.
Learn about the technologies underlying experimentation used in systems
biology, with particular focus on RNA sequencing, mass spec-based
proteomics, flow/mass cytometry and live-cell imaging.\n\nA key driver of
the systems biology field is the technology allowing us to delve deeper and
wider into how cells respond to experimental perturbations. This in turns
allows us to build more detailed quantitative models of cellular function,
which can give important insight into applications ranging from
biotechnology to human disease. This course gives a broad overview of a
variety of current experimental techniques used in modern systems biology,

technologies in particular, mRNA sequencing, mass spectrometry-based
proteomics, flow/mass cytometry, and live-cell imaging. These techniques
are often used in systems biology and range from genome-wide coverage
to single molecule coverage, millions of cells to single cells, and single time
points to frequently sampled time courses. We present not only the
theoretical background upon which these technologies work, but also enter
real wet lab environments to provide instruction on how these techniques
are performed in practice, and how resultant data are analyzed for quality

This course will introduce the student to contemporary Systems Biology
focused on mammalian cells, their constituents and their functions. Biology
is moving from molecular to modular. As our knowledge of our genome and
gene expression deepens and we develop lists of molecules (proteins,
lipids, ions) involved in cellular processes, we need to understand how
these molecules interact with each other to form modules that act as
discrete functional systems. These systems underlie core subcellular
processes such as signal transduction, transcription, motility and electrical
excitability. In turn these processes come together to exhibit cellular
behaviors such as secretion, proliferation and action potentials. What are
Icahn School of Medicine at
Introduction to Systems Biology https://www.coursera.org/learn/systems-biology the properties of such subcellular and cellular systems? What are the
Mount Sinai
mechanisms by which emergent behaviors of systems arise? What types of
experiments inform systems-level thinking? Why do we need computation
and simulations to understand these systems?\n\nThe course will develop
multiple lines of reasoning to answer the questions listed above. Two major
reasoning threads are: the design, execution and interpretation of
multivariable experiments that produce large data sets; quantitative
reasoning, models and simulations. Examples will be discussed to
demonstrate “how” cell- level functions arise and “why” mechanistic
knowledge allows us to predict cellular behaviors leading to disease states
and drug responses.

Economy opportunities-and-risks-in-a-globalized-economy
course is the third in a series for the specialization but it is also a stand-
alone course for anyone who wants practice in practical
macroeconomics.\n\nThis course includes 4 modules, each one deep-
diving into the macroeconomic circumstances that have been brought up in
the recent history of four key regions: the USA, Japan, Europe, and China
and India. Students will analyze the ways in which international economies
relate with one another, the benefits of trade and migration and economic
development and how it occurs, among other themes. \n\nProfessor Allard
takes overarching macroeconomic theory and turns it into a practical tool for
those interested in the opportunities and risks of investment and doing
business in each of the four regions covered.

Positioning is the heart of any Marketing Strategy, the core that you must
get right. It does not matter whether you start with a clearly defined target
group or with a differential value proposition: you will need end up with a
clear segment or segments upon which we build our Marketing Plan.\n\nIn
this course - the second in our Marketing Strategy Specialization - IE
professor Ignacio Gafo will guide you through the essential stages of this
Positioning: What you need for a successful key marketing process, starting with the basic elements that you will require

Marketing Strategy and deciding on the market segmentation and marketing. The course
progresses to examine the key market trends that you will encounter and
will provide you with a handy practical toolbox of skills.\n\nThe course
features interviews with industry professionals as well as on location videos
where we quiz members of the public on their attitude towards this key
concept. After this course you will be in no doubt of where to position your
product and which segment you are going to attempt to attract.
Pricing is one of the most important but least understood marketing
decisions. Learn and practice concepts, techniques, and get to grips with
the latest thinking on assessing and formulating pricing strategies. Analyze
how firms attempt to capture value, as well as profits, in the revenues they
earn. \n\nAfter this course, you will be able to contribute to the process of
formulating pricing strategies for your own products and services, or those
of your firm. This course has an additional focus on pricing dynamics and
the reaction to and by competitors, taking a highly pragmatic approach and
one that is directly applicable to your day-to-day professional life.\n\nMartin
Pricing Strategy IE Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/pricing-strategy
Boehm - IE Professor and Dean of the Business School with over 10 years
experience - will guide you through four modules. We begin with the
importance of pricing and how it ultimately can affect the bottom line. Then,
we move on to methods to help you decide what is the optimal price for
your product; and then price discrimination - should all your products follow
the same pricing strategy or should you differentiate depending on the
customer segment? Finally, we look at pricing psychology and how you can
manipulate customers in order to drive the highest possible price for your
product.

Create your own Marketing Plan for your own product or service idea. In
this course you will learn how to produce arguably the most important
marketing tool for any business. Rather than simply learning the stages of
The Marketing Plan, you will be asked each week to complete a peer
graded assignment which will help you complete a simplified version of the
plan. You will be required either to map the four crucial stages for your own
product or service idea or use the Nissan Leaf case study (attached in the
additional readings) in order to produce a professional example.\n\nRamon

This is the second of the three courses part of the Globalization, Economic
Growth and Stability Specialization. This course will focus on facets of
globalization that affect a country´s economic perspectives and decisions.
Globalization has recently been the predominant subject in many political
debates, and this course will go into the determinants of globalization. It will
be separated into four modules; the first module will explain exchange
rates. It will cover what determines exchange rate and how different
Trade, Immigration and Exchange Rates in a https://www.coursera.org/learn/trade-immigration-
IE Business School exchange rates affect the economy and the reality of currencies. The
Globalized World exchange-rates-globalized-world
second module will explore trade, the reality of free trade, and what occurs
to a country´s economy with protectionism. The third module will go into the
balance of payments, it will help you understand how economic
transactions between a country and the rest of the world work. The fourth
module will focus on Immigration, which is probably one of the most
controversial subjects today. It will explain how migration affects host
countries and it will cover current migration trends.
This is the first of the three courses part of the Globalization, Economic
Growth and Stability Specialization. This course will employ a non-technical
approach to analyze how governments use policy to influence a country's
economy. Upon completing the course you should be able to discuss
national debts and deficits, examine fiscal and monetary policy and their
Understanding economic policymaking IE Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/economic-policy appropriateness to the situation of an economy, and anticipate the results of
fiscal and monetary policies and structural reform on a country. These
concepts will give you the tools to develop your own position in many
current economic debates, such as fiscal stimulus vs. austerity, the merits
of quantitative easing, the need for higher interest rates or the future growth
path of many modern economies.

Este curso persigue adentrarse en la realidad del trabajo de un alto
ejecutivo: lo qué hace y cómo lo hace. Es un hecho conocido que la
mayoría de altos directivos dedican hasta el 90% de su tiempo al día a día
y menos del 10% a las tareas asociadas al pensamiento estratégico en la
organización. Por eso es importante ir más allá y entender las prioridades
que configuran esta actuación diaria. Al final, la mejor estrategia es aquella
que se practica; la mejor organización, aquella que funciona; y el quehacer
cotidiano coherente con las prioridades establecidas, la base de la
continuidad con éxito de las empresas. \n\nEl objetivo del curso es aportar
una visión estructurada de cómo logran este objetivo los “buenos
directivos”, con la voluntad de que sirva a futuros altos ejecutivos a orientar
mejor su carrera, a enfocar sus actividades y a desarrollar su propio estilo
de dirección.\n\nEl curso profundiza en las prioridades de la Alta Dirección
¿Qué hacen los buenos directivos? Prioridades de
IESE Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/alta-direccion a partir de la actuación diaria de directivos de probada valía y con éxito
la Alta Dirección
profesional en empresas diversas. \n\nEl contenido está basado en los
resultados de las entrevistas personales que hemos realizado a más de
200 directores generales de compañías muy diversas. Gran parte de este
material ha quedado recogido en los libros publicados “Qué hacen los
buenos directivos. El reto del siglo XXI” y “Yo Dirijo”, cuya lectura
recomendamos a todo aquel que desee ampliar su perspectiva sobre esta
materia.\n\nEl modelo que se propugna en curso es el resultado de una
amplia investigación empírica; no es una doctrina, sino un instrumento
mental para ayudar a construir una configuración empresarial que potencie
el hacer de la gente para que, sin dejación de su derecho a ser felices y a
la autonomía, logren su plenitud como personas y como profesionales, a la
vez que la compañía alcanza cotas altas en los indicadores de salud
empresarial.
Financial Accounting is often called the language of business; it is the
language that managers use to communicate the firm's financial and
economic information to external parties such as shareholders and
creditors. Nobody working in business can afford financial illiteracy.
Whether you run your own business, work as a manager or are just starting
your career, you want to understand financial information and be able to
interact with accountants, controllers, and financial managers. You want to
Accounting: Principles of Financial Accounting IESE Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/financial-accounting
talk business! \n\nThis course will provide you with the accounting
language's essentials. Upon completion, you should be able to read and
interpret financial statements for business diagnosis and decision-making.
More importantly, you will possess the conceptual base to keep learning
more sophisticated accounting and finance on your own. Do not forget that,
as with any other language, becoming proficient with accounting requires
constant practice.

When it comes to numbers, there is always more than meets the eye. In
operational finance, you will learn how to read the “story” that the balance
sheet and income statement tells about the company’s operations. The
insights you gain from this “financial story” will then become a tool for short-
Finance for Managers IESE Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/operational-finance
term decision-making at the top management level relating to current
assets, current liabilities and the management of working capital. Finally, by
the end of the course you will understand the financial consequences of
managerial decisions on operations, marketing, etc.
La clave para comprender las finanzas de una empresa está en conocer la
historia que se esconde detrás de los números. Este curso te ofrecerá
precisamente esta perspectiva de las finanzas, para que puedas aplicar un
conocimiento más holístico de las cifras a la hora de tomar
decisiones—tanto a largo como a corto plazo—sobre la dirección que la
Finanzas para directivos IESE Business School https://www.coursera.org/learn/finanzas-operativas
empresa debe tomar respecto a activos y pasivos corrientes, gestión del
capital circulante y muchos otros conceptos contables. Cuando termines el
curso, comprenderás las consecuencias que tienen sobre las finanzas las
decisiones tomadas a nivel directivo en operaciones, marketing y otras
áreas.
A menudo, nos referimos a la contabilidad financiera como «el lenguaje de
los negocios», es decir, el lenguaje que los directivos utilizan para transmitir
información financiera y económica sobre su empresa a aquellas partes
externas a ella, como los accionistas y los acreedores. Ninguna persona
que trabaje en el mundo de los negocios puede permitirse desconocer el
mundo de las finanzas. Tanto si diriges tu propio negocio como si te estás
formando para ocupar un puesto de directivo, necesitarás entender la

Introducción a la Contabilidad Financiera IESE Business School
financiera directores financieros… En definitiva, ¡necesitarás hablar el lenguaje de los
negocios!\n\nGracias a este curso, podrás aprender los fundamentos del
lenguaje de los negocios. Una vez que lo hayas finalizado, podrás leer e
interpretar los estados financieros para realizar diagnósticos empresariales
y tomar decisiones y, lo que es más importante, contarás con una base
teórica que te permitirá seguir profundizando en la contabilidad y en las
finanzas por ti mismo. No olvides que, al igual que al aprender cualquier
otra lengua, dominar la contabilidad requiere una práctica constante.
En una ocurrente frase, Peter Drucker, pionero en el campo de la gestión
empresarial, afirmó en una ocasión que las personas tienen una tendencia
perversa a comportarse como seres humanos. Con ello quería señalar algo
que es evidente: que las personas no somos máquinas y, por ello, no
somos programables. Sin embargo, sí que tenemos unas necesidades que
satisfacer, y unas características comunes. Y conocerlas - qué motiva a las
personas en el ámbito laboral, qué necesidades buscan satisfacer, y por
qué - ayuda a entender mejor el comportamiento en las organizaciones.
Por ejemplo, nos sirve para dar respuesta a las siguientes cuestiones:
¿cómo es posible que aún ganando mucho dinero una persona no esté
motivada para trabajar? O lo contrario, ¿cómo es posible que a pesar de
ganar muy poco dinero una persona esté dispuesta a trabajar con ahínco?
¿Qué comportamientos y cualidades debe mostrar un buen líder? ¿Es
factible desarrollar dichas capacidades? ¿Por qué hay equipos que tienen
un alto rendimiento mientras otros no? Y a la vez, ¿cómo medir el
https://www.coursera.org/learn/gestion-personas-
La gestión de personas y equipos IESE Business School rendimiento de un equipo? ¿Qué es la cultura de la organización y qué
equipos
importancia tiene?\n\nDurante estas cuatro semanas de curso sobre
gestión de personas y equipos, abordaremos distintos enfoques y marcos
teóricos que nos permitan dar respuesta a todas estas preguntas. Al final
de la segunda sesión entrevistaremos a Esther Jiménez, directiva e
investigadora en el área de las competencias de liderazgo. Al final de la
tercera sesión entrevistaremos a Federic Sabriá, profesor de Operaciones y
jugador Olímpico de Waterpolo, que nos hablará sobre el trabajo en
equipo. Y al final de la cuarta a Miquel Lladó, Profesor y antiguo CEO y
Directivo de grandes corporaciones (como Bimbo o Sara Lee). \n\nCon
todo ello, el alumno tendrá la posibilidad de asimilar los principales
conceptos relacionados con la dirección de personas en las
organizaciones, así como de entender desde un punto de vista práctico lo
que supone la compleja tarea de gestionar personas: potenciando que
estén motivados; liderando individuos y equipos; facilitando un trabajo en
equipo eficaz; y fomentando una cultura de respeto y rendimiento.
Peter Drucker, a pioneer in the field of management, once said that people
have a perverse tendency to behave like human beings. Of course, we are
not machines, and certainly not programmable. But through the study of
organizational behavior, we can gain insights into what makes people tick
within a work context. Increasing your understanding of your own behavior
and that of your colleagues, teams and leaders, is an important first step to
bringing positive change to how you and your organization work.\n\nThe
objective of this course is therefore to provide insight into four key areas:\n
•\tMotivation. In this course segment we will understand the concept of
motivation and review various perspectives that will help you understand
https://www.coursera.org/learn/managing-people-
Organizational Behavior: How to Manage People IESE Business School how we can motivate others. \n•\tLeadership. In this part of the course, we
iese
will analyze the concept of leadership and consider various perspectives
and approaches to help shed light on leadership emergence and
effectiveness.\n•\tTeamwork. Here we look at team functioning and
effectiveness. Using the widely used input – process – output model of
team effectiveness, we consider such topics as team diversity, team
processes, and team outcomes.\n•\tCulture. Finally, we'll move to the level
of the organization and consider the concept of organizational culture, also
touching upon the concept of national culture. We look at the various ways
in which culture is expressed, and discuss the implications of culture for
people within organizations and cross-cultural collaborations.
Business and environmental sustainability are not natural bedfellows.
Business is about making money. Sustainability is about protecting the
planet. Business is measured in months and quarters. Sustainability often
requires significant short term costs to secure a sometimes uncertain long-
term benefit. To some activists, all executives are exploitative, selfish one
percenters. To some executives, all activists are irresponsible, unyielding
extremists. \n\nAnd yet engaging with the issue isn’t optional – all
businesses must have a strategy to deal with sustainability and, like any
strategy, this involves making choices. \n\nThis Strategy and Sustainability
course based on Rosenberg's recently published book by Palgrave
(http://www.palgrave.com/la/book/9781137501738) that encourages
https://www.coursera.org/learn/strategy-
Strategy and Sustainability IESE Business School learners to filter out the noise and make those choices in a hard-nosed and
sustainability
clear-eyed way. Prof. Rosenberg’s nuanced and fact-based point of view
recognizes the complexity of the issues at hand and the strategic choices
businesses must make. He blends the work of some of the leading
academic thinkers in the field with practical examples from a variety of
business sectors and geographies and offers a framework with which senior
management might engage with the topic, not (just) to save the planet but
to fulfill their short, medium and long-term responsibilities to shareholders
and other stakeholders.\n\nThis course promises to be both engaging and
thought-provoking, aimed at anyone who wishes to gain a deeper
understanding of a subject that is no longer perceived as a choice but a
necessity for future managers and business leaders alike.
This course will provide back test results for all the strategies in developed
and emerging markets. The learner will also be taught scientific ways of
back testing without succumbing to either look ahead (or) survival
bias.\n\nYou will learn various methods of building a robust back testing
system for the strategies discussed in the previous course. You will be
taught how to differentiate between mere data mining and results based on
solid empirical or theoretical foundation. Next, you will learn the ways and
https://www.coursera.org/learn/advanced-trading-
Advanced Trading Algorithms Indian School of Business means of back testing the results and subjecting the back test results to
algorithms
stress tests. After which, you will learn the various ways in which transaction
costs and other frictions could be incorporated in the back testing algorithm.
Finally, you will learn techniques for measuring a strategies' performance
and the concept of risk adjusted return. You will use some of the famous
measures for risk adjusted returns such as Sharpe ratio, Treynor's Ratio
and Jenson's Alpha. You will see how to pick an appropriate benchmark for
a proposed fund.
Through this course, you will learn how individuals and firms make financial
decisions, and how those decisions might deviate from those predicted by
traditional financial or economic theory. \n\nWe will explore the nature of
these biases and their origins, using insights from psychology,
neurosciences and experimental economics on how the human mind
Behavioral Investing Indian School of Business https://www.coursera.org/learn/behavioral-investing
works. From these biases, you will be able to examine how the insights of
behavioral finance complement the traditional finance paradigm. We also
look at the micro and macro biases. Finally, we will explore how these
insights describe more complicated topics such as fat tail events and
financial crises.
The explosion in digital media - web, social and now mobile - represents a
departure from how things were like in the last century. This proliferation of
digital media is both a threat and an opportunity for many businesses.
Business Analytics can be leveraged to process data, sentiment, buzz,
Business Analytics and Digital Media Indian School of Business https://www.coursera.org/learn/business-analytics contacts, context and other aspects of business interest in real time, for
business performance and impact. The course picks and uses use-cases
from a variety of industries and geographies, to showcase the potential and
impact that business analytics done properly (or not) can have on business
performance.
The Capstone Project places you in the shoes of a CIO of a hypothetical
FMCG firm, Indus Consumer Products Limited, who is required to select a
portfolio of IT investments for the decision year that is aligned with the
business strategy and objectives of the firm. Different business units in the
company have proposed different applications to implement. Your job as
CIO will be to analyze the business case for each of the projects and
identify those that best serve the long-term business strategy and
objectives of the firm. Your choice of IT investments is constrained by the IT
budget for the given financial year.\n\nThe case consists of the following
artifacts:\n- Letter from the CEO\n- Company Report\n- IT
Assessment Report \n- Proposal for the SCM Initiative \n-
Capstone Project: Business Technology https://www.coursera.org/learn/business-tech-
Indian School of Business Proposal for Rural Connect\n- Proposal for the new ERP System\n
Management project
\nThe case is designed to provide a Capstone experience on many of the
concepts and frameworks learned in the specialization. Learners need
to:\n(a) Identify a broad business focus of the company using the
competitor data. Provide a couple of lines on the strategic pain points for
the firm.\n(b) Which one of the five applications must the company invest
in? Why? Provide strategic and financial reasons in support.\n(c)
Thoroughly analyse past projects to remove redundant or unviable
investments.\n(d) Identify and propose strategies for managing risk
associated with large scale IT investments. \n(e) Create an organizational
structure and communication plan that will engage various stakeholders of
the organization.
This course integrates all the learning from the first three courses and
guides the learner about ways of building a portfolio of strategies and
integrating the same into a hedge fund. \n\nIn the first part of the course,
you will be taught ways of measuring the contribution of a strategy to a
portfolio in terms of risk and return. You will be able to appreciate the
consequences of including a strategy to a new as well an existing
Creating a Portfolio Indian School of Business https://www.coursera.org/learn/investment-portfolio

Information Technology (IT) is fast changing the world around us. This
course will provide you an understanding of IT-enabled changes in the
business environment, and how insightful executives leverage IT to create
value and win competitive battles. The course is divided into three parts –
the first part of the course focuses on the industry impacts of technological
innovation. Here, we will explore competition and business models in the
high-tech industry, using examples of companies like Google, Apple and
https://www.coursera.org/learn/digital-
Digital Transformations Indian School of Business Facebook. We will also explore competitive dynamics of industries that
transformations
consume significant technology with emphasis on how technology has
disrupted industries such as music, media and education. The second part
of the course focuses on how IT transforms cost structures of firms by
helping them build information capabilities that significantly increase value
chain efficiency. The final part of the course will focus on the impact of IT on
innovation and decision-making within firms that, ultimately impacts
revenue growth.
In the Capstone project, you have to design an investment plan for an

You’ll never have a complete picture of what's possible in the future if you
look at it from just one point of view. The best way to expand your vision?
Engage as many people as you can, and “game out” the possibilities
together. \n\nIn this course, you’ll learn how to use collaborative gaming
techniques to go beyond your own thinking and see many, many different
sides of the same future. Over the past decade, the Institute for the Future
has pioneered new methods in “massively-multiplayer foresight.” You’ll
learn how to adapt these methods to get diverse, surprising views of what’s
possible, build your empathy for other people’s futures, and reduce your risk
of being “blindsided” by the future.\n \nThis course features content from
https://www.coursera.org/learn/collaborative-
Collaborative Foresight: How to Game the Future Institute for the Future the Ethical Operating System, a tool created by the Institute in collaboration
foresight
with Omidyar Networks’ Tech and Society Lab. It’s designed to help
technology companies anticipate risks and prevent unwanted
consequences of the things they build. Whether or not you work in tech, the
Ethical Operating System will give you the chance to participate right now in
an urgent future forecasting game. The stakes of the game are the future of
truth, privacy, democracy, security, and our collective well-being. It’s a
unique opportunity to join creative and strategic forces with people who are
making the tech that’s inventing the future, and with fellow futures thinkers
like you.\n\nMany thanks to the Enlight Foundation and the Enlight
Collaborative, which provided a grant to support the creation of this course.
For many people, the future comes as a surprise – or even a shock. But
with strong forecasting skills, YOU can avoid future shock. You can adapt
faster, and become better prepared to benefit from change.\n\nIn this
course, you’ll build your future forecasting skills. You'll learn how to turn
groups of "signals" (clues about the future) and "drivers" (global forces that
influence the direction of change) into compelling future forecasts.
Forecasts help you discover new possibilities and opportunities for yourself,
your company, or any community you want to inspire to make a better
future. \n\nYou'll also learn how to write future scenarios. Scenarios take
forecasts one step further. They spark imagination and tell a story about
what might happen if a forecast comes true. Scenarios help you evaluate: Is

Happens the Institute for the Future will show you exactly how it's done. They'll share
with you the forecasts and scenarios they’re most excited about right now,
and walk you through the key steps they took to create them. Then, it's your
turn! You'll create a forecast and a scenario on any future topic you
choose.\n\nHow will you benefit from taking this course? With strong
forecasting skills, you'll get better at seeing the future before it happens.
You'll be ready to consider possibilities that others never see coming or
refuse to accept. You'll be able to help others prepare for and adapt to the
future. You can decide which futures you want to make more likely, and
which futures you want to prevent.\n\nMany thanks to the Enlight

Do you want to think about the future with more creativity and optimism? Do
you want to see what’s coming faster, so you can be better prepared for
disruptions and more in control of your future? Do you want to get better at
changing what’s possible today – in your company, your industry, your
community, and in your own life?\n\nThis course will introduce you to the
practice of futures thinking, as developed and applied for the past 50 years
by the Institute for the Future, a Silicon-Valley-based research and learning
group founded in 1968. In this course, you’ll build your understanding of

Thinking futures-thinking
foresight techniques. You’ll meet some professional futurists. And you’ll
choose one or more future topics you want to investigate with your new
foresight skills.\n\nThis course is for anyone who wants to spot
opportunities for innovation and invention faster. You can gain the skills and
confidence to help YOU become someone who makes the future, instead of
letting the future happen to you.\n\nMany thanks to the Enlight Foundation
and the Enlight Collaborative, which provided a grant to support the
creation of this course.
Do you want to learn how to simulate the future more creatively and more
effectively? This course is for you.\n\nHumans are the only living creatures
with the ability to think about and make plans for the long- term future. Even
so, our brains don’t always make it easy. Over the past decade, scientists
have discovered a number of neurological “road blocks” to effective futures
thinking. These glitches in the brain make it harder for us to accurately
predict how we’ll feel and what we’re likely to do, when a particular future
arrives. They lead us to make faulty assumptions about which futures are
likely or unlikely to happen. And they convince us we have less power to
shape and influence the future than we actually do – leaving us stuck in the
present. \n\nIn this course, you’ll learn how to overcome these obstacles so
you can think about the future more strategically and creatively. You’ll
Simulation Skills: This is Your Brain on the Future Institute for the Future https://www.coursera.org/learn/simulation-skills
practice simulation techniques for “unsticking” the mind when it comes to
seeing what’s possible in the future and accepting how things could be
different. You’ll also learn how to lead others through “first-person future”
simulations, which have been shown in scientific studies to improve
strategy and increase motivation and hope for the future. Along the way,
leading futurists from the Institute from the Future will share some of their
most challenging forecasts to help you stretch your imagination and
improve your simulation skills. \n\nThis course will ensure that you can put
all of your new forecasting skills to the best possible use, by helping you
nudge your brain toward more effective ways of simulating and preparing
for the future.\n\nMany thanks to the Enlight Foundation and the Enlight
Collaborative, which provided a grant to support the creation of this course.
When you get better at thinking about the future, you get better at changing
the future.\n\nThis course will help you take all of the foresight skills you’ve
developed so far and apply them to making real positive change in your life,
in your work, and in the world around you.\n\nYou’ll learn how to create and
share “preferred futures”, which are highly persuasive, compelling visions of
the changes you want to make real. You’ll use your preferred future to
identify obstacles, recruit allies, collect resources, and plan action to make
your vision real.\n\nYou’ll also practice making “artifacts” from the future,

preferred future real. Leading futurists from the Institute for the Future will
share with you their favorite future artifacts – and walk you through the
entire creative process it took to make them.\n\nEvery action we take today
changes the future. This course will help you identify and take the actions
that make the BIGGEST, most strategic impacts on the most urgent
challenges you and society face.\n\nMany thanks to the Enlight Foundation

O objetivo deste curso é apresentar o assunto de Controle a Tempo
Discreto para sistemas lineares e invariantes no tempo. São apresentadas
técnicas para lidar com implementação de controladores por computador,
requerendo a consideração da discretização do tempo inerente aos seu
uso. A importância dos conhecimentos apresentados nesse curso se
justifica pela onipresença de controladores digitais em aplicações
atualmente.\nO curso é dividido em 4 módulos, resumidamente:\n1)
Apresentação de modelos para sistemas operando a tempo discreto e
critérios para avaliar sua estabilidade.\n2) Formas de discretizar
aproximadamente uma função de transferência a tempo contínuo e
estimação do efeito da discretização na resposta do sistema.\n3) Projeto
do controlador diretamente em tempo discreto, usando duas abordagens:
Instituto Tecnológico de https://www.coursera.org/learn/controle-tempo-
Controle a Tempo Discreto resposta em frequência e Lugar Geométrico das Raízes (LGR).\n4) Projeto
Aeronáutica discreto
do controlador diretamente em tempo discreto, usando o espaço de
estados.\nAo longo do curso, ferramentas computacionais de projeto de
controladores auxiliado por computador são usadas para ilustrar a
aplicação das técnicas através de exemplos. Apesar de ser possível
concluir o curso prescindindo dessas ferramentas, seu uso é recomendado
por dois motivos: facilidade de realizar as operações mais tediosas,
liberando mais tempo para focar no conteúdo, e aproximação com o que é
feito na prática de projetos no âmbito de atuação do(a) profissional.\nAo
final desse curso, o(a) aluno(a) deve ser capaz de adaptar criteriosamente
um projeto de controlador feito a tempo contínuo para aplicação em
sistemas controlador por computador digital e projetar diretamente um
controlador a tempo discreto para o mesmo uso.
Após esse curso você será capaz de esboçar o Lugar Geométrico das
Raízes (LGR - Root Locus) do denominador da Função de Transferência
em Malha Fechada a partir dos polos e zeros da Função de Transferência
em Malha aberta.\nVocê também será capaz de projetar controladores de
avanço de fase para atender simultaneamente requisitos de desempenho
de amortecimento e de velocidade da resposta. Você também será capaz
de projetar controladores de atraso de fase para atender requisitos de erro
em regime permanente sem alterar as características de estabilidade e da
resposta transitória do sistema. Você verá que os controladores PD e PI
podem ser considerados como casos especiais dos controladores de
Instituto Tecnológico de avanço e de atraso de fase e verá também que você pode combinar os
Controle de Sistemas no Plano-s https://www.coursera.org/learn/controle-s
Aeronáutica dois tipos de controladores em controladores de avanço e atraso de fase
ou em controladores PID.\nPor fim você será capaz de modelar o efeito do
atraso de transporte em um sistema com realimentação e de contrapor
esse efeito projetando um controlador ou fazendo ajustes em um
controlador já projetado.\nDesso modo dado um sistema linear e invariante
no tempo e requisitos de amortecimento, velocidade e erro em regime
permanente você será capaz de projetar um controlador que fará com que
o sistema em malha fechada atenda simultaneamente a esses três tipos de
requisitos.\nE você aprenderá tudo isso usando o MATLAB, uma
ferramenta computacional extremamente útil para a análise, projeto e
simulação de sistemas.
Neste curso você aprenderá a obter a resposta em frequência de um
sistema Linear e Invariante no Tempo (LIT) e a usá-la para projetar
controladores que atinjam requisitos de reposta transitória e em regime
estacionário. Você aprenderá a obter o diagrama de Bode a partir de dados
de amplitude e fase de entradas e saídas senoidais. Também será capaz
de esboçar o diagrama de Bode de um sistema dada a sua função de
transferência. Outrossim, será capaz de representar a resposta em
frequência na carta de Nichols-Black.\nA fim de se determinar a
estabilidade do sistema, você aprenderá a aplicar o critério de Nyquist, que
faz uso da resposta em frequência em malha aberta e permite determinar
Instituto Tecnológico de
Controle Usando a Resposta em Frequência https://www.coursera.org/learn/resposta-frequencia se um sistema será estável em malha fechada.\nAo fim do curso, você
Aeronáutica
será capaz de projetar controladores com dinâmica, isto é, com polos e
zeros, portanto mais complexos do que um simples ganho de
realimentação. Essa flexibilidade permitirá que você projete controladores
para satisfazer simultaneamente requisitos de sobressinal e tempo de
resposta que seriam impossíveis de atender com um simples ganho.
Também poderá com isso alterar as características da resposta em regime
estacionário, aumentando as constantes de erro sem alterar (muito) a
resposta transitória.\nPor fim, você aprenderá a projetar controladores do
tipo PD, PI e PID, que estão entre os mais disseminados em aplicações de
engenharia de controle.

This course is an introduction to the multiple ways our changing climate
affects global population health, and to promising policy and practice
responses. More intense storms, heatwaves, and rising seas mean many,
particularly the most vulnerable, now face growing risks of weather-related
injury, illness, mental stress and even death. Because people care deeply
about health outcomes, public health has great potential to convey the
urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to a warmer,
more unpredictable climate. The main message of the course is that public
health must therefore “lean in” and become a more central player in climate
Protecting Public Health in a Changing Climate: A
Johns Hopkins University https://www.coursera.org/learn/climate-change change mitigation and adaptation. Because climate-related health risks
Primer for City, Local, and Regional Action
happen mainly at the local level, the course focuses on cities – increasingly
key players in climate change policy. Starting with an overview of the
science consensus suggesting we have 10-20 years to prevent risks
associated with exceeding 1.5°C of global warming and put in place
adaptive policies, the course provides interactive lectures, expert interviews
and case studies that build practical knowledge. In the final assignment,
participants apply course tools and strategies to a city of their choice,
preparing them to contribute to climate mitigation and building health
resiliency in their own local context.
This course focuses on the concepts and tools behind reporting modern
data analyses in a reproducible manner. Reproducible research is the idea
that data analyses, and more generally, scientific claims, are published with
their data and software code so that others may verify the findings and build
upon them. The need for reproducibility is increasing dramatically as data
analyses become more complex, involving larger datasets and more
https://www.coursera.org/learn/reproducible- sophisticated computations. Reproducibility allows for people to focus on
Reproducible Research Johns Hopkins University
research the actual content of a data analysis, rather than on superficial details
reported in a written summary. In addition, reproducibility makes an analysis
more useful to others because the data and code that actually conducted
the analysis are available. This course will focus on literate statistical
analysis tools which allow one to publish data analyses in a single
document that allows others to easily execute the same analysis to obtain
the same results.
In this course, we will explore MongoDB, a very popular NoSQL database
and Web Services concepts and integrate them both with Ruby on Rails.
MongoDB is a used to handle documents with a pre-defined schema which
will give the developers an ability to store, process and use data using it’s
rich API. The modules will go in-depth from installation to CRUD operations,
aggregation, indexing, GridFS and various other topics where we
continuously integrate MongoDB with RailsRuby. We will be covering the
Ruby on Rails Web Services and Integration with https://www.coursera.org/learn/ruby-on-rails-web- interface to MongoDB using the Mongo Ruby API and the Mongoid ORM
Johns Hopkins University
MongoDB services-mongodb framework (the MongoDB access counterpart to RDBMS/ActiveRecord
within Rails). The last portion of the course will focus on Web Services with
emphasis on REST, its architectural style and integration of Web Services
with Rails. Core concepts of Web Services like request/response, filters,
data representation (XML/JSON), web linking and best practices will
covered in depth.\n\nThis course is ideal for students and professionals
who have some programming experience and a working knowledge of
databases.
Did you ever want to build a web application? Perhaps you even started
down that path in a language like Java or C#, when you realized that there
was so much “climbing the mountain” that you had to do? Maybe you have
heard about web services being all the rage, but thought they were too
complicated to integrate into your web application. Or maybe you wondered
how deploying web applications to the cloud works, but there was too much
to set up just to get going.\n \nIn this course, we will explore how to build
web applications with the Ruby on Rails web application framework, which
is geared towards rapid prototyping. Yes, that means building quickly! At
Ruby on Rails: An Introduction Johns Hopkins University https://www.coursera.org/learn/ruby-on-rails-intro the conclusion of this course, you will be able to build a meaningful web
application and deploy it to the “cloud” using a Heroku PaaS (Platform as a
Service). Best of all, it will almost feel effortless… Really!\n \n“But wait”, you
will say, “there is no way that we can build a useful application if there is no
database involved. You need the data for an application to be useful.” Great
point! But what if… instead of getting the data from the database, we get it
from the internet by tapping into one of the web services out there that
readily provides data needed by our application? “Ok, but that’s probably
very complicated”, you will say. Take this course and you will be pleasantly
surprised at just how easy it is!
Safety culture is a facet of organizational culture that captures attitudes,
beliefs, perceptions, and values about safety. A culture of safety is
essential in high reliability organizations and is a critical mechanism for the
Setting the Stage for Success: An Eye on Safety delivery of safe and high-quality care. It requires a strong commitment from
Johns Hopkins University https://www.coursera.org/learn/patient-safety-culture
Culture and Teamwork (Patient Safety II) leadership and staff. In this course, a safe culture is promoted through the
use of identifying and reporting patient safety hazards, accountability and
transparency, involvement with patients and families, and effective
teamwork.
Biostatistics is the application of statistical reasoning to the life sciences,
and it's the key to unlocking the data gathered by researchers and the
evidence presented in the scientific public health literature. In this course,
we'll focus on the use of simple regression methods to determine the
https://www.coursera.org/learn/simple-regression- relationship between an outcome of interest and a single predictor via a
Simple Regression Analysis in Public Health Johns Hopkins University
analysis-public-health linear equation. Along the way, you'll be introduced to a variety of methods,
and you'll practice interpreting data and performing calculations on real data
from published studies. Topics include logistic regression, confidence
intervals, p-values, Cox regression, confounding, adjustment, and effect
modification.
Do you want to write powerful, maintainable, and testable front end
applications faster and with less code? Then consider joining this course to
gain skills in one of the most popular Single Page Application (SPA)
frameworks today, AngularJS. Developed and backed by Google,
AngularJS is a very marketable skill to acquire.\n\nIn this course, we will
explore the core design of AngularJS 1.x (latest version of AngularJS 1), its
components and code organization techniques. We will enhance the
https://www.coursera.org/learn/single-page-web-
Single Page Web Applications with AngularJS Johns Hopkins University functionality of our web app by utilizing dependency injection to reuse
apps-with-angularjs
existing services as well as write our own. We will create reusable HTML
components that take advantage of AngularJS data binding as well as
extend HTML syntax with a very powerful feature of AngularJS called
directives. We’ll set up routing so our SPA can have multiple views. We will
also learn how to unit test our functionality. At the end of this course, you
will build a fully functional, well organized and tested web application using
AngularJS and deploy it to the cloud.

Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life. How can you
define energy in life? Have ever thought about ways of how carbohydrates
like glucose from your diet can be used for extracting energy? A scientific
field that focuses on energy production and flow though living cells and
organisms is called bioenergetics. Energy metabolism covers various
biochemical ways of energy transformation and regulatory mechanisms of
over thousands chemical reactions. Without fine control of those metabolic
processes, cells and organisms cannot maintain activities linked to life.
\n\nThis 7 week-course will give you a clear introduction to the basic
fundamentals of energy metabolism. We will first establish the concept of
energy metabolism and subsequently examine biochemical steps involved
in energy production from glucose oxdiation as well as glucose synthesis
via photosynthesis. We will also learn about metabolic reactions related to
fat as well as regulatory actions among different organs. Finally,

The depth and breadth of electromagnetism, the foundation for many fields
including materials science, electrical engineering, and physical chemistry,
requires a long, steep, and steady learning curve. This course aims to
bridge the gap between the fundamental principles taught in
electromagnetism and its practical application to specific fields such as
materials, physics, and chemistry related to energy storage and harvesting.
\n\nThe goal of Electrodynamics: An Introduction is to not only teach
electromagnetism but also introduce some mathematical tools which can be

review vector calculus and explain how to use fields to visualize the topics
we cover. This course is dynamic, as the lectures continuously build on
previous notes and a variety of explanations are presented for each
solution. Since this is a lower level course, we will focus on the simple
concept of electrostatics. This has applications in exploring intermolecular
forces, and qualities of capacitors. Through this, we relate
electromagnetism to more conventionally studied topics and its application
to specific research topics related to energy storage and harvesting.
This course is a continuation of Electrodynamics: An Introduction. Here, we
will cover different methods of calculating an electric field. In addition, we
will introduce polarization, dielectrics, and how electric fields create dipoles.
\n\nLearners will \n•\tBe able to apply symmetry and other tools to calculate
the electric field.\n•\tUnderstand what susceptibility, polarization, and
dipoles are.\n\nAdditionally, students will learn to visualize Maxwell
equations in order to apply the derived mathematics to other fields, such as
heat/mass diffusion and meso-scale electromechanical properties, and to

This course is the fourth course in the Electrodynamics series, and is
directly proceeded by Electrodynamics: Electric and Magnetic Fields.
Previously, we have learned about visualization of fields and solutions
which were not time dependent. Here, we will return to Maxwell's
Equations and use them to produce wave equations which can be used to
analyze complex systems, such as oscillating dipoles. We will also
introduce AC circuits, and how they can be simplified, solved, and
applied.\n\nLearners will:\n•\tHave a complete understanding of Maxwell's

This course looks at where important materials in products we use every
day come from and how these materials can be used more efficiently,
longer, and in closed loops. This is the aim of the Circular Economy, but it
doesn’t happen on its own. It is the result of choices and strategies by
suppliers, designers, businesses, policymakers and all of us as consumers.
\n\nIn addition to providing many cases of managing materials for
sustainability, the course also teaches skills and tools for analyzing circular
business models and promotes development of your own ideas to become
more involved in the transition to a Circular Economy.\n\nYou will learn from
expert researchers and practitioners from around Europe as they explain
core elements and challenges in the transition to a circular economy over
the course of 5 modules:\n\nModule 1: Materials. This module explores

engines for greening the economy. We place cities in the context of
sustainable urban transformation and climate change. Sustainable urban
transformation refers to structural transformation processes – multi-
dimensional and radical change – that can effectively direct urban
development towards ambitious sustainability and climate goals.\n\nWe will
connect the key trends of urbanization, decarbonisation and sustainability.
We will examine visions, experiments and innovations in urban areas. We
will look at practices (what is happening in cities at present) and
opportunities (what are the possibilities for cities going forwards into the
future). We bring together a collection of diverse short films and key short

Welcome to the Nordic Particle Accelerator Program's (NPAP) Massive
Open Online Courses and to the fascinating world of particle
accelerators!\n\nDid you know that in the year of 2000 there were more
than 15 000 particle accelerators in the world? Yet, today it has grown to
more than 30 000 of them! A third of the particle accelerators are dedicated
to medical applications, such as radio therapy, and a half are used for ion
implantation in semiconductor devices. Also numerous particle accelerators
are used for sterilizing food. Despite these everyday life examples of small
particle accelerators, it is the large accelerators, like the Large Hadron
Collider at CERN, that most people associate with particle accelerators.
There will be many new applications for particle accelerators in the future
and by that there is a need for MOOCs that describe the techniques and
applications of these machines..\n\nThe NPAP series of MOOCs consists of
three MOOCs designed to disseminate knowledge about particle
accelerator technology to impacted fields. The courses have been made
possible thanks to the support of the Erasmus Plus, Strategic Partnership

MOOC) accelerators
from the universities of Lund, Uppsala, Arhus, Oslo and Jyväskylä, and by
experts from the MAX IV Laboratory and European Spallation Source
(ESS), both in Lund, Sweden. \n\nIn many of the lectures we detail the MAX
IV Laboratory and ESS - currently hosting the most powerful synchrotron
light source and neutron source in the world. In the MAX IV Laboratory
intense X-ray beams are produced by electrons that are first accelerated to
almost the speed of light, and at ESS protons will be accelerated and, by a
process called spallation, generate intense beams of neutron. The X-ray
and neutron beams are used for looking into matter, down to the atomic
level. The MAX IV Laboratory and ESS form a unique European center of
excellence for thousands of scientists that together build the world of
tomorrow. We also take a closer look at the Large Hadron Collider, at
CERN, in Geneva. This powerful machine has already had an immense
impact on theoretical physics and will continue to contribute to our
knowledge of nature for quite some time. \n\nThe first course in our NPAP
series is the Introduction to Particle Accelerators. It explains how a particle
Hello and welcome to this course!\n \nThe NPAP - Medical Applications of
Accelerators is one out of three courses in the Nordic Particle Accelerator
Program (NPAP). Here you will be taken on a tour focusing on the medical
applications of particle accelerators. You will see that there are two very
important, but different, applications of accelerators in hospitals. The first
application concerns radiotherapy of tumours and the other concerns the
production of medical nuclides for diagnosis and treatment. Both will be
included in this course and described through four modules.\n \nThe first
module offers the basic principles of radiotherapy from a medical and
physics point of view. You there learn about the main components of the
machines used for radiotherapy and get to know why radiotherapy is
important for cancer treatments.\n \nThe second module guides you
through the different types of linear accelerators used in the machines for
Medical Applications of Particle Accelerators https://www.coursera.org/learn/medical-applications- radiotherapy. It also describes the design of the treatment head. The design
Lund University
(NPAP MOOC) particle-accelerators is important because it is the settings of the treatment head that determines
the dose and the radiated region. It is also in the treatment head where the
dose given to the patient is measured.\n \nIn the third module you are
introduced to proton therapy. In this type of therapy protons are first
accelerated and then guided down to the tumour by magnets. The
machines are considerably larger and more expensive than machines used
for radio therapy. The module also offers a description and comparison
between different types of accelerators, and explains how the protons
interact with tissue. \n \nAlso ions that are heavier than protons can be used
in cancer therapy. This is described in the fourth module, where we also
introduce you to the production of medical nuclides. You learn how the
nuclides are produces in proton and ion accelerators and how the nuclides
come into play at different places in hospitals. Medical nuclides are for
instance used in Positron Electron Tomography, PET.\n\nEnjoy!
The sharing economy is booming! But what are the impacts on cities and
sustainability? This course connects the sharing economy, cities,
governance and urban sustainability to provide unique knowledge and
insights into sharing cities. We utilize a diversity of leading examples of the
emerging sharing economy in cities to bring this course to life.\n\nThe
sharing economy can contribute to social, environmental and economic
sustainability, and sharing cities can unlock new opportunities and solve
urban challenges by facilitating and applying the sharing economy in urban
contexts. But it is imperative that the sharing economy is shaped and
designed to advance urban sustainability. \n\nThis course is created by
Sharing Cities Sweden, which is a national program for the sharing
economy in cities in Sweden. It aims to put Sweden on the map as a

is to create sustainable, resilient and prosperous cities and urban
areas.\n\nThis course covers a diversity of knowledge and experiences to
present and explore sharing cities in a holistic perspective with examples
from Sweden, Europe and around the world. In this course, we combine

How can nature help us design and build our cities? Nature-based solutions
have the potential to provide multiple benefits across a range of
sustainability challenges facing cities. They can help to limit the impacts of
climate change, enhance biodiversity and improve environmental quality
while contributing to economic activities and social well-being.\n\nBut what
are nature-based solutions? Examples include green roofs and city parks
that reduce heat, city lagoons that can store water as well as vegetation
and rain gardens to intercept storm water.\n\nThis course will explore

Each course in F4E offers key insights and knowledge you will be able to
apply in real-life situations. You’ll test drive those insights through activities
and assessments that will influence your key money Decisions, your
participation in financial Markets, your experience in preserving or creating
Value, and in managing Debt. These activities are designed to immerse you
in financial thinking by giving you a safe environment for buying and selling
and for making, creating, simulating, writing, and teaching. Each activity is a
Finance for Everyone Capstone Project McMaster University https://www.coursera.org/learn/finance-capstone
milestone in your learning process and each milestone has a product that
will be part of your learning portfolio. The Capstone Project is the
culmination of your F4E experience. It will engage you in a series of
scaffolded and reflective exercises focused on a single aspect of the
specialization selected by you to match your learning goals, and will help
you create a piece of work that reflects your new knowledge and
showcases your new skills for your employer, colleagues, friends and family.
In Debt, we take on one of the most challenging financial questions that
remains unresolved: How much to borrow? We start by demonstrating why
using debt has always been and continues to be a great temptation,
particularly when borrowing costs are historically low. We identify conditions
for selecting the optimal amount of debt for a corporation looking to
maximize its value. You’ll become fluent in related concepts like norms and
benchmarks. You will explore these and other factors that influence debt for
individuals and for public sector organizations -including governments, who
Finance for Everyone: Debt McMaster University https://www.coursera.org/learn/finance-debt
are the largest consumers of debt. Like pollution, debt creates systemic
risks even for the people and organizations that don’t create it. This course
discusses the imperative of limiting and reducing debt and the costs to all of
us if we don’t. We build on case based learning giving you opportunities to
interpret, uncover and acquire financial information that is often hidden or
missing. We also summarize important threads from previous courses to
give you a deep and cohesive understanding of when debt works for you
and when it becomes your worst enemy.
Finance for Everyone: Decisions will introduce you to the workings of the
free markets and the foundations of finance. You will learn how free
markets and their “creative destruction” provide the architecture for the
global economy and how those same markets move money in ways that
create and destroy wealth. Your financial toolkit will include timeless
concepts like compounding, discounting, annuities, effective interest rates,
Finance for Everyone: Decisions McMaster University https://www.coursera.org/learn/finance-decisions and more. You will also learn how to simplify important financial
calculations and apply that knowledge to real-life decisions that can
influence everything from how you pay for your car to where you live.
Through peer review you will publish your view on an issue important to
you. You will also discover how your applied decisions connect to bigger
questions relating to changing market conditions as you prepare for the
second course in F4E: Markets.
Markets begins with one of the most common and important elements of
the financial system – interest rates. You will learn why interest rates have
always been a key barometer in determining the value of everything. You
will explore the changing influence of interest rates; the impact of interest
rates on consumption, investment and economic growth; and the bizarre
realities of negative interest rates. Markets explains how interest rates
change the value of all financial instruments, highlighting the role of the
bond and stock markets that have toppled empires. We take a closer look
Finance for Everyone: Markets McMaster University https://www.coursera.org/learn/finance-markets
at the equity pricing models and equity markets that reverberate across the
globe, and explore everything from the first stock ever issued – by the
Dutch East India Company – to the little-understood but powerful derivative
securities market. By the end of the course, you will have developed insight
into the intersections of the financial markets with worlds of policy, politics,
and power. You will have demonstrated that insight by teaching an
important financial concept and translating a financial product or transaction
to someone who will clearly benefit from your advice.
In Value, you will explore the most powerful generator of value in the world
– ideas. Ideas are the engines of productivity, both in the private and public
sectors. You will learn about the universal frameworks that determine how
ideas and money interact, leading to the allocation of financial resources.
We will identify components of cash flow for any project, business or
venture as the most essential ingredients of value. We also assess the
investment techniques used to give life to some ideas while killing others.
Finance For Everyone: Value McMaster University https://www.coursera.org/learn/finance-value This course will help you understand pricing, diversification, uncertainty and
even behavioural approaches to dealing with risk. Using Nobel Prize-
winning insights, you will learn how to measure the size of the risk premium
and build valuation models. We’ll even connect evidence-based science
with common-sense analysis to give you better tools for understanding why
values are what they are, and for positioning yourself more effectively to
participate in financial markets. You will be immersed in case based
learning to integrate some of the powerful frameworks introduced in Value.

entrepreneur. An entrepreneurial mindset stands alone in terms of its
importance. No other attribute, personality, inherent entrepreneurial
proclivities, training, or demographic profile is common to all successful
entrepreneurs whether Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, or the neighborhood
florist or grocer.\n\nThe course provides learners with an understanding of
the attributes and perspectives of an entrepreneurial mindset, and the
process to acquire one. We suggest that learners bring an open mind and
be willing to thoroughly explore the nascent business ventures they have
been carrying with them.The course introduces concepts that enables a
person to start a trans-formative process in the way they think generally,
and in the way they think about business specifically. This new way of
thinking has the potential to positively impact not only them, but their family,
and community.
Being a successful journalist is more than hunting down information. How
journalists process the information, then put it together, are key steps for
news reports. You will learn the process, planning, requirements of how
journalists develop their news reports. There are many ways to report news

For many years now, people have been improving their tools, studying the
forces of nature and bringing them under control, using the energy of the
nature to operate their machines. Last century is noted for the creation of
machines which can operate other machines. Nowadays the creation of
devices that interact with the physical world is available to anyone. \nOur
course consists of a series of practical problems on making things that work
independently: they make their own decisions, act, move, communicate
with each other and people around, and control other devices. We will
demonstrate how to assemble such devices and programme them using
the Arduino platform as a basis.\nAfter this course, you will be able to
create devices that read the data about the external world with a variety of
sensors, receive and forward this data to a PC, the Internet and mobile
devices, and control indexing and the movement. The creation of such
devices will involve design, the study of their components, the assemblage
of circuit boards, coding and diagnostics. Along with the creation of the
Moscow Institute of Physics and devices themselves, you will perform visualization on a PC, create a web
Building Arduino robots and devices https://www.coursera.org/learn/arduino
Technology page that will demonstrate one of your devices, and figure out how an FDM
3D-printer is configured and how it functions. \nBesides those keen on
robotics or looking to broaden their horizons and develop their skills, the
course will also be useful to anyone facing the task of home and industrial
automation, as well as to anyone engaged in industrial design, advertising
and art. \nThe course does not require any special knowledge from the
participants and is open even to students of upper secondary school.
Programming skills and the level of English allowing to read technical
documentation would be an advantage, but this is not obligatory.\nThe
entire course is dedicated to practice, so the best way for you would be to
get hold of some electronics, follow the illustrated examples and experiment
on your own.\n\nThe kits can be purchased here:

Jewish Diaspora in China is a unique experience for world Jewry, as China
is the only country in Far East that has had Jews living in its society for over
1,000 years. Documentary evidence shows that Jews started to live in
China no later than the Tang Dynasty (618–907). The famous Kaifeng
Jewish community, which was established in Kaifeng, the Chinese capital of
the Song Dynasty (960-1279), is but a best-known example. However, the
largest Jewish Diaspora in China appeared in modern times. In over 100
years, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, about 40,000
Jews came to China and lived in newly-established major port cities such
Jewish Diaspora in Modern China Nanjing University https://www.coursera.org/learn/jews-in-china
as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Harbin. Jewish communities
composed of these Jews became an essential part of the economic and
social life of those modern Chinese cities. What brought such a large
number of Jews to China? Where did these people come from? How did
they arrive? Were they all in China at the same time, and were there any
differences among them? What happened to them after they arrived?
Where are they now? The story of Jews in modern China is certainly a
fascinating and up-lifting one. This course will examine these questions and
more.

Is Confucianism synonymous with Chinese culture? While it may be an
overstatement to equate the two, there is little doubt that Confucianism
pervades every level of Chinese culture and society. To be sure, other
traditions such as Daoism and Buddhism have also left an indelible mark;
nevertheless, Confucianism remains central to the shaping of the Chinese
imagination. The influence of Confucianism extends beyond China to East
Asia and through migration and cultural diffusion, other parts of the world.
Confucianism traces its origins to the teachings of Confucius. What makes
Confucius so special and what did he teach? This course will explore some

centre on the Analects of Confucius, the foundational text of Confucian
wisdom, although attention will also be given to the subsequent unfolding of
the Confucian tradition. We will attempt to situate Confucian philosophy in
its own context and to bring out its contemporary significance. Confucianism
is a living tradition. Its vitality hinges on not only its continuing relevance in
Chinese society but also its contribution to meeting the global challenges
confronting the world today. There are no prerequisites for this course,
other than a keen interest in Chinese tradition and culture, and the
willingness to engage the Analects of Confucius.

This course is about communication on various levels. Over these 9 weeks
we will cover a number of theories, cases and applications in the field of
communication science. We will start with the foundational concepts of
communication theory, defining what the theory is and going through a
number of approaches to communication itself.\n\nEach week you will have
a test to check on your progress and understanding. We also have a final
text in the end of the course and a little bit of writing. As Oscar Wilde said, if
you cannot write, you cannot think. If you cannot think, others will do
thinking for you. So we find writing and reflecting pretty important for our
classes. Along the course we provide you with in-class materials: lecture

Main objective of this course is to trace the development of the Cultural and
Creative Industries as an idea and as concept and to identify the key points
of changes within it in relations with contemporary digital connected world.
Another important task of this course is to provide the deep understanding
of the difference between cultural and symbolic meaning products (such as
films, recorded music, book and periodicals, online media content etc) and
other kind of goods. \n\nThis course will help you to: \n - Identify main
peculiarities of cultural and symbolic goods in their difference with other
branches of economy in terms of production chain, risks, relationship
between different stages of production. \n - Be able to analyze cultural
products and symbolic goods from the organizational, economic, business
model point of view.\n - Be able to invent new business models and
analyze cultural products in terms of their productions risk. \n - Be able to
analyze cultural policies and creative industries/clusters policies.\n\nMain
prerequisite to this course is to be able to produce analytical texts in
humanities. Normally the course addresses all students of master level

Cultural and creative industries interested in peculiarities of media and cultural economy and management.
Higher School of Economics industries
This course is strongly not recommended for those who:\n - Analyse any
market or industry only in microeconomic terms (supply and demand, level
of competitions etc). This course is not about market but about peculiarities
of symbolic goods;\n - Try to interpret culture only in terms of marketing
and management (i.e. culture is considered like a simple good to be sold to
the consumer). This course considers it more broadly like a human agency
to produce meanings of everyday life. That’s why cultural goods are
different and can not be interpreted exclusively in terms of consuming and
need more or less state support;\n - Try to interpret culture like pure “art”
and consequently are absolutely not preoccupied by organizational aspect
of its working. \n\nThis course uses a large number of concepts coming
from different fields of science: political economy of communications,
cultural studies, sociology etc. Some aspects of the course are commented
by known scholars in this field such as David Hesmondhalgh (University of

The main goal of this course is to introduce topics in Discrete Mathematics
relevant to Data Analysis.\n\nWe will start with a brief introduction to
combinatorics, the branch of mathematics that studies how to count. Basics
of this topic are critical for anyone working in Data Analysis or Computer
Science. We will illustrate new knowledge, for example, by counting the
number of features in data or by estimating the time required for a Python
program to run.\n\nNext, we will apply our knowledge in combinatorics to
study basic Probability Theory. Probability is everywhere in Data Analysis
and we will study it in much more details later. Our goals for probability
section in this course will be to give initial flavor of this field.\n\nFinally, we

Discrete Math and Analyzing Social Graphs
Higher School of Economics analyzing-social-graphs Analysis, namely graphs. Graphs can be found everywhere around us and
we will provide you with numerous examples. We will mainly concentrate in
this course on the graphs of social networks. We will provide you with
relevant notions from the graph theory, illustrate them on the graphs of
social networks and will study their basic properties. In the end of the
course we will have a project related to social network graphs.\n\nAs
prerequisites we assume only basic math (e.g., we expect you to know
what is a square or how to add fractions), basic programming in Python
(functions, loops, recursion), common sense and curiosity. Our intended
audience are all people that work or plan to work in Data Analysis, starting
from motivated high school students.

Exploration of Data Science requires certain background in probability and
statistics. This course introduces you to the necessary sections of
probability theory and statistics, guiding you from the very basics all way up
to the level required for jump starting your ascent in Data Science. \n\nThe
core concept of the course is random variable — i.e. variable whose values
are determined by random experiment. Random variables are used as a
model for data generation processes we want to study. Properties of the
data are deeply linked to the corresponding properties of random variables,
such as expected value, variance and correlations. Dependencies between
Probability Theory, Statistics and Exploratory Data National Research University https://www.coursera.org/learn/probability-theory- random variables are crucial factor that allows us to predict unknown
Analysis Higher School of Economics statistics quantities based on known values, which forms the basis of supervised
machine learning. We begin with the notion of independent events and
conditional probability, then introduce two main classes of random
variables: discrete and continuous and study their properties. Finally, we
learn different types of data and their connection with random
variables.\n\nWhile introducing you to the theory, we'll pay special attention
to practical aspects for working with probabilities, sampling, data analysis,
and data visualization in Python.\n\nThis course requires basic knowledge
in Discrete mathematics (combinatorics) and calculus (derivatives,
integrals).
This course offers an introduction into the public economics theory. It does
not aspire to cover theories of taxation, public expenditures, regulation etc.
at length and in-depth. Rather, our ambition is to give a bird's-eye view of
central themes of public economics and related disciplines, and teach
concepts, logic, and ideas, rather than methods of analysis, which would
require an entirely different course format.\n\nOur choice of topics covered
by the course reflects a trade-off between salience and centrality, on the
one hand, and suitability for a brief online introductory course, on the other.
The course content is neither comprehensive (which would be a "mission
impossible" for virtually any public economics course"), nor representative
of other such courses. With these limitations and caveats in mind, we
National Research University encourage our students to continue their public economics studies in a
Public Economics https://www.coursera.org/learn/public-economics
Higher School of Economics more regular fashion, and see our role inter alia in motivating interest in
such "continued education".\n\nThe central theme of the course is the role
of government as a mechanism of resource allocation which complements
and augments markets. Governments are viewed as public agencies set to
correct market failures. Such agencies however are prone to failures of their
own, and hence markets and governments are two imperfect alternatives.
We deal with government's limitations, with particular emphasis on those
that have to do with informational asymmetry, limited administrative
capacity, and imperfect accountability to society. Otherwise the course's
man themes are economics of taxation, regulation, politics of public
economics, incentives in government, and government vis-à-vis (civil)
society.\n\nDo you have technical problems? Write to us: coursera@hse.ru
This course provides an introduction to the study of the history, major
teachings, and practices of the major Chinese religions and spiritual
practices and is deigned to give conceptual tools to appreciate diverse
religious practice in East. It covers the development of Buddhism, Daoism,
Confucianism and wide range of popular and local religions. From historical
perspective we will also explore the development of key theological,
religious and philosophical doctrines as well as associated practices. An
effort will be made to spend time on each tradition according to its

particular, and will analyze the origins, central teachings, divisions and
branches, rituals and practices, influences on culture, and responses to
modern challenges for each tradition. \n\nThe emphasis throughout the
course is on the hermeneutic difficulties attendant upon the study of religion
in general, and Asian religions in particular. We will explore new Asian
religions as dynamic, ongoing forces in the lives of individuals and in the
collective experience of modern societies.\n\nDo you have technical

The course presents the life and deeds of Joseph Stalin, the leader of the
Soviet Union from 1924 till 1953. It analyses the reasons for his actions and
their results, as well as the causes of his popularity in Russia today. It offers
an analysis of the phenomenon of Stalinism and of its significance for
Russia and beyond.\n\nIn the late 1920s – early 1930s Stalin directed the
massive and rapid industrialisation of the country and the forced
collectivisation of its agriculture. The industrialisation was based on forced
labour, and collectivisation on repression, but both helped to create the
material base for the Soviet defence industry. In the late 1930s Stalin
National Research University unleashed mass terror against the Soviet people, in which millions
Stalin and Stalinism in Russian History https://www.coursera.org/learn/stalinism
Higher School of Economics perished. In his view this helped to rid the country of any potential internal
enemies on the eve of the coming war. \n\nThe USSR, together with its
allies, won the Second World War, but at the cost of dozens of millions of
lives. Stalin was instrumental in creating the post-war order. The system
which he created in the 1930s shaped the USSR as it was during his
lifetime and for decades after his death. It also influenced the lives of
millions of people beyond the Soviet borders. \n\nThe course will enable
those who take it to develop an informed understanding of the Stalin era
and of the phenomenon of Stalinism.\n\n\nDo you have technical

In the course “Understanding Russians: Contexts of Intercultural
Communications": we will:\n\n1)\tBuild skills in the analysis of the
intercultural communication process using Russian-Western communication
as an example. \n2)\tApply the knowledge of interrelations between
different contexts of communication (cultural, institutional, professional,
social, interpersonal, etc.) to the cultural history and national psychology of
Russians.\n\nThe purpose of the course is to provide the students with a
broad overview of the basic principles governing the past, the present and
the future interactions between Russia and the West, with a focus on the
culture and national psychology of Russians and Western
Europeans.\n\nFor example, we will look at the cases when basic cultural
values of Russians show up through the linguistic choices shaping
language production which is consequently misattributed by Western
partners. No matter what the language of intercultural communication is –
Understanding Russians: Contexts of Intercultural National Research University https://www.coursera.org/learn/intercultural- Russian, or English – the meaning of many linguistic expressions may be
Communication Higher School of Economics communication-russians reconstructed wrongly by the representatives of another culture.\n\nSome of
the basic questions we will tackle are:\n\n•\tWhat are the concepts of
culture that have the strongest influence on communication?\n•\tWhat are
Russian basic cultural values and how they shape modern Russian
consciousness?\n•\tWhat are the specific communication patterns of
modern Russians, including those of public and electronic
discourse?\n•\tWhat is important to know about communication with
Russians in organizational contexts?\n\nImportantly, this course is NOT just
a list of practical instructions of dos and don’ts of dealing with Russians.
The course contains a substantial academic component introducing the key
notions and concepts of the Theory of Communication, which will be
extensively introduced throughout the first few modules of the course.
These theoretical grounds will be further on used as a tool for analyzing the
intercultural communications with Russians.\n\nDo you have technical
