Entreprise et changement climatique
Comment les entreprises peuvent-elles agir dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique ? Voilà une question qui est posée de façon de plus en plus pressante à l’ensemble des acteurs économiques. Pour éclairer vos réflexions, nous sommes allés à la rencontre de 4 entreprises très engagées sur le sujet, de tailles et secteurs d’activité divers, elles partageront avec vous leur cheminement pour se mettre en phase avec les objectifs de l’Accord de Paris. Alain Grandjean et ses collègues de Carbone 4 vous apporteront les fondamentaux du sujet, bases scientifiques pour clarifier les enjeux mais aussi et surtout, éléments de méthode pour vous aider à mettre votre entreprise sur la trajectoire des 2 degrés. Avec mes collègues professeurs de l’ESSEC, nous vous apporterons des regards complémentaires et une mise en perspective de l’ensemble des contenus. Ce MOOC ne sera pas un MOOC technique, ce MOOC ne sera pas un MOOC de plaidoyer non plus, mais ce MOOC sera un objet pédagogique de vulgarisation, de sensibilisation, de formation, et d’accès à la connaissance pour une meilleure compréhension de concepts managériaux et de questions organisationnelles complexes, présentant un sous-jacent scientifique également complexe. Il s’agit donc d’en savoir plus sur, comment une entreprise prend en compte le changement climatique dans l’élaboration de sa stratégie et l’exécution de ses opérations. Nous vous proposerons, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaiteront, des outils et des moyens de passer à l'action sur ces enjeux de changement climatique et transition énergétique. Ce MOOC sera l’occasion de présenter différentes thèses et visions qui pourront s’opposer ou se renforcer ou bien se compléter. Il permettra d’identifier les points de contradiction et les sources de blocage potentielles, et permettra également de mettre en évidence les écarts et les évolutions possibles, ainsi que le chemin restant à parcourir. Chacun des experts ou Professeurs s’exprimera en son nom propre et n’engagera que lui-même. L'objectif est de combiner les compétences d’une école de Business que nous sommes à l'ESSEC avec les compétences techniques de Carbone 4, pour vous offrir un contenu qui soit robuste, crédible et étayé.

Photography Capstone Project
The Capstone Project is your opportunity to take advantage of the knowledge you have gained through our journey in learning about photography, to develop a meaningful project of 10 well formed photographs based in your passion for artistic expression, or a subject for documentary exploration, insightful portraiture, imaging for work-related subjects, or some other aspect of photography. We are confident that it will be a project that you will be excited to share with fellow Learners. You should plan on spending more time on this Course per week than any other in this Specialization, and much of it will be in making photographs. During the entire period of development, you and your fellow learners will be supporting each other as you work independently, by sharing your work-in-progress from the initial Project Plan to the final Portfolio. At each stage, all Learners will share comments and suggestions with each other, helping each other to gauge progress and to learn about different approaches to photography and content. By expressing your own ideas and expectations about quality in response to the work of others, you will be forming your own criteria of excellence as well. Along the way there will be multiple opportunities for sharing pictures and ideas through carefully designed Peer Review. This sharing of photographs and comments with peers, and reflecting on their comments about your photos, will be an exciting learning experience that will help you grow in understanding your own photography and that of others. Your contribution of comments to fellow Learners will not only help them understand their photographs better, but it will give you an opportunity to use the vocabulary of terms that are related to techniques, design principles, and content approaches that you have learned through your success in each of the previous Modules. A unique aspect of this Specialization is that everyone who completes the requirements will receive, in addition to their Certificate of Specialization from Michigan State University, access to substantial discounts on equipment, accessories, and membership benefits through Industry Partners from among the premier manufacturers of photography equipment and related items: Fracture, Gary Fong, Gyst, Lensbaby, LensPen, Lume Cube Lighting, Photo District News, PhotoVideoEdu, Think Tank Cases/Bags.

Disability Inclusion in Education: Building Systems of Support
Worldwide millions of children are not able to fully participate in schooling, and this is especially a problem for children with disabilities. In this course, we explore the support that teachers need in order to meet the needs of children with severe to profound hearing, visual and intellectual disabilities. We consider how this can be done by talking with a range of experts - from teachers to activists - about inclusive education as well as sharing experiences of education. Inclusive education is only possible if teachers are supported and empowered to make the curriculum accessible to all learners. The topics in this course cover developing disability confidence and what exactly children with specific impairments need to be able to learn. This includes sharing specific classroom strategies and teaching activities for learners who are D/deaf or hard of hearing, blind or have low vision or have a severe to profound intellectual disability. By the end of the course, you will be familiar with the impairment specific needs of learners with disabilities, and how to build systems of support for inclusive education. You will be able to purchase a Verified Certificate if you wish to show evidence of your achievements, but this is optional, and you may apply for Financial Aid if you are unable to pay the certificate fee. This course was developed as part of the project ´Strengthening teaching for Children with profound Hearing, Visual and Intellectual Disabilities in South Africa` co-funded by Christoffel-Blinden Mission (CBM) and the European Union.
