Automate AI Anomaly Detection & Response
An outage rarely starts with a red dashboard-it starts as a small anomaly: a spike in latency, a surge in failures, or a subtle change in traffic. The faster you detect and respond, the less damage (and stress) you create. In this course, you’ll build an end-to-end anomaly detection and response loop on Azure. You’ll instrument an app with Application Insights, detect unusual behavior with Azure Monitor smart detection, dynamic thresholds, and KQL time-series functions, and then turn alerts into action using action groups and Logic Apps (with optional Azure Functions for custom remediation). You’ll learn a practical workflow: choose the right signal, set guardrails to reduce noise, enrich alerts with context, and automate a consistent response-notify the right channel, capture evidence, and trigger a safe mitigation step. This course is designed for IT professionals, including DevOps engineers, SREs, and Azure administrators, who want to learn how to automate anomaly detection and response workflows in Azure environments. Learners should be familiar with basic Azure Portal navigation, and JSON familiarity is helpful, along with basic monitoring concepts. No ML prerequisite. By the end, you’ll have a reusable blueprint (queries, alert rules, and automation) you can adapt to real systems to catch problems earlier and respond reliably.

Negotiating Learner Differences: Towards Productive Diversity in Learning
An investigation of the dimensions of learner diversity: material (class, locale), corporeal (age, race, sex and sexuality, and physical and mental characteristics) and symbolic (culture, language, gender, family, affinity and persona). Examines social-cultural theories of difference, as well as considering alternative responses to these differences in educational settings - ranging from broad, institutional responses to specific pedagogical responses within classes of students. The course also focuses on the application of learning technologies and new media to meet the needs of diverse populations of learners. Its main practical question is, how do we use educational technologies to create learning environments in which learning experiences can be customized and calibrated to meet the precise needs of particular learners? Topics include: universal design for learning, differentiated instruction systems, and adaptive and personalized learning environments. -------------------------------- Related Resources -------------------------------- Online resources are available here: https://newlearningonline.com -------------------------------- Join our Online Communities! -------------------------------- CGScholar (Create an account and join the New Learning community) https://cgscholar.com/community/community_profiles/new-learning/community_updates Facebook https://www.facebook.com/newlearningonline Twitter https://twitter.com/neolearning -------------------------------- Take this Course for Credit at the University of Illinois -------------------------------- This course has the same content and anticipates the same level of contribution by students in the Assessment for Learning course offered to graduate certificate, masters, and doctoral level students in the Learning Design and Leadership Program in the College of Education at the University of Illinois.

Firm Level Economics: Consumer and Producer Behavior
All goods and services are subject to scarcity at some level, which requires that society develop some allocation mechanism to determine who gets what. Over recorded history, these allocation rules were usually command based, meaning that the king or the emperor would decide. In contemporary times, most countries have turned to market-based allocation systems. In markets, prices act as rationing devices, encouraging or discouraging production and encouraging or discouraging consumption to find an equilibrium allocation of resources. To understand this process, businesses construct demand curves to capture consumer behavior and consider supply curves to capture producer behavior. The resulting equilibrium price “rations” the scarce commodity. You will be able to: • Describe consumer behavior as captured by the demand curve and producer behavior as captured by the supply curve • Define equilibrium and explain the impact of taxes and price controls on market equilibrium • Explain elasticity of demand • Describe cost theory and how firms optimize given the constraints of their own costs and an exogenously given price This course is part of Gies College of Business’ suite of online programs, including the iMBA and iMSM.
