The MITx MicroMasters credential in Supply Chain Management is a standalone certification program offered by MITx that is designed and administered by the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL); supported by the MIT Office of Digital Learning (ODL); and delivered on edx.org. The MITx MicroMasters credential consists of five intensive on-line courses covering all aspects of logistics and supply chain management along with a proctored comprehensive final exam (CFx). To take the CFx, you must pass all five courses of the MicroMasters in Supply Chain Management as a verified student.
The CFx consists of two 120-minute exams, Exam I and Exam II. The exam must be broken into two exams for proctoring logistics. The exams will be a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions with the first exam covering more of the fundamentals of supply chain management and the second covering advanced and special topics. Students who have selected virtual proctoring will have from May 19th 1500 UTC to May 22nd 1500 UTC to take the exam. Once a student begins Exam I, they must complete both exams within 12 hours. Students cannot start Exam II without completing Exam I. Each exam will be timed, but students need to finish both exams within the 12 hour time period or they will not pass (there will be no secondary timer to regulate the 12 hour guideline). Virtual test takers will use the Software Secure proctoring software to be virtually proctored. If you have not passed all five courses as a verified student in advance of the exam - you will not be allowed to take the CFx.
If you pre-registered and are planning to take this exam in-person at an MIT SCALE center, per course team communications, please DO NOT enroll through this course instance. You will be pre-enrolled in the correct in-person proctored CFx and will be notified of course enrollment through the edX platform.

A successful manager makes good decisions. To make good decisions, you need to understand the market forces that impact your business and personal life. This is true for managers in large multinationals or small businesses, in non-profit organizations or in the government. Individuals and households also make decisions. They decide on what to learn, where to work, how much to save, where to invest, and what goods to buy, among others. Most modern societies depend on markets to organize economic activity: they are market economies. A large number of decisions you make as individuals or as managers relate to markets. So it is important for you to know how markets work and how to make good decisions as a manager or as an individual operating in a market environment. This is what this course will teach you.
Most business schools have a course on Managerial Economics as part of the MBA curriculum. Exposure to Economics is essential for all students of management. This course will provide a simple introduction to Managerial Economics and use minimum mathematics.
Have you ever wondered why humans walk on two legs rather than four? In this course, we will explore how science investigates this unusual form of locomotion. We will start our investigation by looking at the mechanics of upright walking in humans and comparing that to bipedal locomotion in large birds, bears, and apes.
We will journey back millions of years into the human fossil record in an effort to understand how and why upright walking evolved. Around our first birthday, each of us learned how to walk, but how does this happen? With bipedalism came costly trade-offs as well-- we’ll examine these aches and pains as byproducts of our evolutionary history.
This course will take an intentionally interdisciplinary approach to studying how and why humans move bipedally. You will be exposed to anthropology, biomechanics, anatomy, evolution and paleontology to explore something deeply human: upright walking.
This course was developed in collaboration with SmithsonianX (National Musuem of Natural History and the National Zoological Park).

Notre vie quotidienne est fortement impactée par l'usage de nos smartphones et de nos tablettes. Il y a des applications pour presque tout : retoucher ses photos, consulter les horaires des trains, chercher une place de cinéma, choisir une recette de cuisine, se renseigner sur le traffic routier en temps réel, ou trouver les restaurants les plus proches.
Derrière ces applications il y a un savoir-faire spécifique à la programmation sur plateformes mobiles. En effet, contrairement aux ordinateurs classiques, ces terminaux disposent de nombreux capteurs que l'on peut avantageusement utiliser. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui a changé notre usage quotidien ces dernières années.
Ce MOOC est le second d'une série de deux MOOCs consacrés à la programmation sur iPhone et iPad mais il n’est pas nécessaire de l’avoir suivi si vous avez déjà des connaissances en Objective-C et en Swift. Vous pouvez d’ailleurs encore accéder à cette première partie afin de rafraichir vos connaissances. L’accès est accessible ici.
Ce MOOC est le second d'une série de deux MOOCs consacrés à la programmation sur iPhone et iPad. Il se concentre sur le développement d'applications complexes s'appuyant sur des hiérarchies de vues et utilisant les capteurs du terminal: gyroscopes, appareils photos, GPS, etc. Nous avons également décidé de prendre en compte les dernières nouveautés introduites dans iOS. Ainsi, ce MOOC, s'il évoque Objective-C, le langage ``historique'' de développement sur cette plateforme qu'il faut connaître, passera beaucoup de temps sur le nouveau langage Swift (dans sa version 3, annoncée en Septembre 2016 avec iOS10).
L'objectif, si vous suivez attentivement ce cours et réalisez les exercices proposés, est de vous rendre capables de réaliser des applications riches et sophistiquées pour l'écosystème iOS. Vous serez aussi capables de travailler non seulement dans l'environnement de développement d'Apple mais aussi dans des environnements similaires. Les exercices sont réalisés sous iOS10, publié en septembre 2016. Nous recommandons donc l'usage de Xcode 8 ou ultérieur (accès gratuit sur le site d'Apple).
Ce cours est principalement destiné à des personnes maîtrisant déjà la programmation objet mais il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir assisté à la partie I pour le suivre, même si cela aurait sans doute été un plus. Il est dérivé d'une unité d'enseignement de 5eme année (master 2) dispensée à l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie, le premier établissement universitaire à avoir proposé en France, en 1967, un diplôme d'informatique. Il tient également compte des nombreux retours des MOOCs qui se sont déroulés en 2014 et en 2015.
Le sujet vous intéresse? Inscrivez-vous et lancez-vous dans l'aventure. Aujourd'hui, d'anciens participants en 2014 et 2015 se sont réorientés vers la programmation mobile. Pourquoi pas vous?
