Size bir sır vermek istiyoruz: Yenilik sadece doktora öğrencileriyle dolu araştırma laboratuvarlarından çıkmıyor. Çoğunlukla yeniliği kendileri için önemli bir sorunu çözmek isteyen sıradan insanlar yaratıyor. Bunu siz de yapabilirsiniz.

Önce neye ihtiyacınız olduğunu düşünün. Sonra başkalarının da bunu isteyip istemediğini öğrenin. Eğer istiyorlarsa, önce kendiniz için geliştirdiğiniz bu yeni ürün veya hizmeti diğerlerine sunmak için kâr amaçlı veya kâr amaçlı olmayan bir girişim oluşturabilirsiniz.

Sonsuz sayıda kullanıcı yeniliği örneği var. Bir sörfçü, sörf yaparken selfie çekebilmek için GoPro'yu yarattı. Bir öğrenci flaş belleğini unuttuktan sonra Dropbox'ı buldu. İki parasız girişimci kirayı ödeyebilmek için salonlarını kiraya verince Airbnb ortaya çıktı. Girişimlerinin nasıl başarılı olduğunu bizimle paylaşacaklar.

Kullanıcı yeniliğini ortaya çıkaran profesör Eric von Hippel'ın verdiği bu derste hangi sorunları çözmeyi seçebileceğinizi ve yeniliklerinizi başkalarıyla nasıl paylaşabileceğinizi öğreneceksiniz.

Siz de yenilik yaratabilirsiniz.

The only prerequisite for this course is u.lab 15.671.0x, an introductory overview--which you can complete in just 90 minutes. Building on the intention you set in u.lab 15.671.0x, 15.671.1x will help you to apply the Theory U method to an issue that matters to you, with fellow change makers locally and around the world. Join us as we co-pioneer new approaches to today’s most important social and environmental challenges using a method of awareness based systems change.

This course is the first course in a series of two. Both courses provide a solid foundation in the area of reliable distributed computing, including the main concepts, results, models and algorithms in the field.

Today's global IT infrastructures are distributed systems; from the Internet to the data-centers of cloud computing that fuel the current revolution of global IT services. At the core of these services you find distributed algorithms.

These algorithms run on multiple computers and communicate only by sending and receiving messages. It is crucial for the implemented services to continue to work 24/7 even if some of the computers fail or some of the messages are lost in transit. This is the subject of reliable distributed algorithms in computer science.

ID2203.1x covers models of distributed algorithms based on input/output automata; specifications of fault tolerant abstractions and failure detectors; specific distributed abstractions and fault-tolerant algorithms, including reliable broadcast and causal broadcast; key-value stores and consistency models; single-value consensus and the Paxos algorithm.

To complete the course with a full grade (100%) students are required to answer the graded quizzes provided every week, as well as the programming assignments.

Already know something about quantum mechanics, quantum bits and quantum logic gates, but want to design new quantum algorithms, and explore multi-party quantum protocols? This is the course for you!

In this history course, you will learn about the diversity and multilingualism that existed in Egypt, and how it had a bearing on the history of the country and its people.

Through the introduction of new languages, Egyptians learned to interact with scripts, cultures and peoples.

The plurality of languages and writing that Egypt witnessed along its history, gave rise to one of the most cosmopolitan melting pots in the ancient world. And although the peak of Egyptian multilingualism was in the Ptolemaic period [323-30 BCE], the country witnessed, in the pre-Ptolemaic period, the appearance of different foreign languages in official and public spheres.

This course examines and presents processes of designing and implementing land readjustment in the context of developing countries.

Land readjustment is an alternative land-assembly approach to government compulsory purchase (often referred to as eminent domain) and voluntary market transaction. In the land readjustment process, a public or private agency invites property owners to become stakeholders in a redevelopment project and to contribute their lands to the project as investment capital. In return, each property owner receives a land site of at least equal value in the vicinity of the original site upon project completion. After all properties in the district are assembled, the combined land sites are subdivided to make space for wider roads and other local infrastructure.

The conventional approaches to land assembly are often conflict-ridden. Through this course, practitioners can add another viable option to their toolbox by learning about land readjustment as an alternative approach to urbanization in developing countries.

Land readjustment has been shown to reduce the initial capital requirement for land assembly, discourage holdouts, and minimize massive relocation of existing residents. When applying land readjustment at the right time and in the right place, this approach could mediate a major hindrance of land redevelopment in countries that are facing rapid urbanization.
