Reimagining Education for Equity
What role does education play in achieving sustainable development goals? How can education drive transformative changes leading to environmentally and socially just societies? How can key stakeholders be involved in creating inclusive, equitable, and empowering learning environments that prepare individuals and communities for a rapidly changing world? This course addresses these questions by first examining and problematising the role education has played in sustaining social inequalities; and then deliberating on how education can be transformed to create empowered teachers and students towards attaining an equitable, just, and sustainable future. The course derives from the results of a four-year, four-country research programme on ‘Transforming Education for Sustainable Futures’ or TESF. It is led by Professor Poonam Batra, a TESF co-investigator and one of India’s leading academics with four decades of interdisciplinary experience across elementary, teacher and higher education practice and policy in India. The course is designed to make TESF research and examples of transformational education accessible to practising teachers, student-teachers, the wider teacher education and policy community, and other stakeholders with an interest in education.

Getting started in cryo-EM
This class covers the fundamental principles underlying cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) starting with the basic anatomy of electron microscopes, an introduction to Fourier transforms, and the principles of image formation. Building upon that foundation, the class then covers the sample preparation issues, data collection strategies, and basic image processing workflows for all 3 basic modalities of modern cryo-EM: tomography, single particle analysis, and 2-D crystallography. Philosophy: The course emphasizes concepts rather than mathematical details, taught through numerous drawings and example images. It is meant for anyone interested in the burgeoning fields of cryo-EM and 3-D EM, including cell biologists or molecular biologists without extensive training in mathematics or imaging physics and practicing electron microscopists who want to broaden their understanding of the field. The class is perfect as a primer for anyone who is about to be trained as a cryo-electron microscopist, or for anyone who needs an introduction to the field to be able to understand the literature or the talks and conversations they will hear at cryo-EM meetings. Pre-requisites: The recommended prerequisites are college-freshman-level math, physics, and biochemistry. Pace: There are 14.5 hours of lecture videos total separated into 40 individual “modules” lasting on average 20 minutes each. Each module has at the end a list of “concept check” questions you can use to test your knowledge of what was presented. As the modules are grouped into seven major subjects, one reasonable plan would be to go through one major subject each day. That would mean watching a couple hours of lecture and spending another hour or so thinking through the concept check questions each day for a week. Another reasonable plan would be to go through one module each day for a little over a month, or even three modules a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for a 3-month term. It is likely that as you then move on to actually begin using a cryo-EM or otherwise engage in the field, you will want to repeat certain modules.

The Modern World, Part Two: Global History since 1910
This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part Two begins early in the twentieth century, as older ways of doing things and habits of thought give way. What follows is an era of cataclysmic struggles over what ideas and institutions will take their place. The course concludes in the present day, as communities everywhere are transitioning into a new era of world history. Again we work hard to grasp what is happening and ask: Why? Again we are drawn to pivotal choices made at key moments by individuals and communities.

Controls: Explain and Apply Segregation
Segregation of duties (SoD) is one of the most effective ways to prevent errors, fraud, and conflicts of interest within financial processes. This short, practical course helps financial analysts, compliance professionals, and auditors understand how SoD works and why it matters. You’ll explore the principle of dividing responsibilities—authorization, recording, and reconciliation—so that no single person controls all steps of a transaction. Through examples, readings, and interactive discussions, you’ll see how weak segregation can create audit and compliance risks. Then, using a control self-assessment checklist, you’ll identify where duties overlap, approvals are missing, or process documentation falls short. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to explain SoD as a key control concept, apply it to real workflows, and propose improvements that strengthen accountability, transparency, and compliance in your organization.

It’s also valuable for those preparing for roles in data engineering, site reliability, or systems performance optimization. Learners should have a basic understanding of distributed systems and networking concepts, familiarity with command-line interfaces, and introductory knowledge of Apache Kafka fundamentals such as topics, producers, and consumers. Prior experience with Linux environments, Docker, or monitoring tools like Grafana and Prometheus will be helpful but not required. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to configure and optimize Apache Kafka clusters for high throughput, low latency, and maximum availability. You’ll gain hands-on experience in monitoring broker health, diagnosing consumer lag, and tuning producer and consumer performance for real-world production environments. With these skills, you’ll be ready to build, scale, and maintain data streaming systems that power modern, high-performance applications.
