Shakespeare in Community will introduce a broad audience of learners to Shakespeare, as we collectively read, watch, and engage four plays: Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Tempest.

Join us for a 4-week learning expedition exploring the exciting weather of the Great Lakes Region, changes underway, and societal impacts of our changing climate.

Helping you build human-centered design skills, so that you have the principles and methods to create excellent interfaces with any technology.

In this course, you will learn relevant fundamentals of human motor performance, perception, and cognition that inform effective interaction design.You will use these models of how people work to design more effective input and interaction techniques. You’ll apply these to both traditional graphic and gestural interfaces.

A blank canvas is full of possibility. If you have an idea for a user experience, how do you turn it into a beautiful and effective user interface? This covers covers principles of visual design so that you can effectively organize and present information with your interfaces. You'll learn concrete strategies to create user interfaces, including key lessons in typography, information architecture, layout, color, and more. You’ll learn particular issues that arise in new device contexts, such as mobile and responsive interfaces.

What problem should you be working on? Finding a big problem to solve can help you find opportunities to make a big impact through design. Starting at the beginning of the design process, you’ll discover strategies for creatively brainstorming problems to work on and challenges to address. You’ll learn commonly used techniques to discover user needs, goals, and values that lead to untapped opportunities for design. In this course, you’ll learn techniques for unearthing ideas based on real world settings and learn how to turn your observations into a concrete point of view as a designer.

You will never know whether you have an effective user experience until you have tested it with users. In this course, you’ll learn how to design experiments that compare design alternatives, techniques for running experiments, and how to analyze data from these experiments. You'll learn specific measures and concrete questions to ask users that will deliver meaningful results for your designs. This course will cover both fundamentals of experimental design as well as common web implementations, including A/B testing.

When developing designs, it is important to pick a point of view and consider multiple design options using prototypes. This course will teach you to rapidly instantiate your point of view using multiple prototyping tools, from paper prototypes to the Wizard of Oz method, to test and iterate your ideas quickly. The design strategies you learn in this course will be applicable in a variety of contexts, from services, to interfaces, to products.

A practical and example filled tour of simple and multiple regression techniques (linear, logistic, and Cox PH) for estimation, adjustment and prediction.

Learn how all energy systems depend on the finite resources of the Earth, and how this relationship can provide a unique “big picture” perspective on energy supply.

Курс дает студентам двойную выгоду. Они учатся ЧТО и КАК сравнивать. Они изучают важнейшие институты, режимы и практики. Они осваивают целый ряд способов анализа от всеохватных до казусно ориентированных сравнений.

¿Alguna vez pensaste en crear tus propios juegos de computadora, pero no tenías idea cómo hacerlo o por dónde comenzar? Este curso te enseñará a programar utilizando Scratch, un lenguaje de programación visual muy fácil de usar, y más importante aún, aprenderás los principios fundamentales de la computación para que comiences a pensar como ingeniero/a de software.

This course explores main answers to the question, "When do governments deserve our allegiance?"

This course provides a brief introduction to game theory. Our main goal is to understand the basic ideas behind the key concepts in game theory, such as equilibrium, rationality, and cooperation. A number of applications in economics, politics, and biology will be discussed.
