Craft Sales Strategy
Building an effective sales strategy starts with understanding how buyers think, decide, and evaluate risk in different industries. In this practical, hands-on lesson, learners explore how entering a new industry vertical requires more than reusing existing messaging—it demands clear strategic choices about who to target, what value to emphasize, and how to reach buyers effectively. Through guided examples and structured activities, learners practice translating the same product into the language, priorities, and buying process of a new vertical. They work with real-world scenarios to adjust segmentation, refine value propositions, and select channels that match buyer behavior and trust requirements. By the end of the lesson, learners create a one-page sales strategy that captures these decisions in a focused, easy-to-use format. Designed for sales professionals and go-to-market teams, this lesson builds confidence in making strategic trade-offs and producing a clear artifact that can guide real-world planning, alignment, and execution.

Water: an essential resource
One of the most obvious claims in our everyday life is the importance of water, often called the blue gold. Anyway, we are often incapable of shifting this importance in tangible actions aimed at protecting this resource and optimizing its use. Past and present anthropic pressure has heavily impaired fresh water, usually supplied for drinking water production. Water utilities and water-treatment practitioners were unprepared to effectively face the challenge of a growing high-quality water demand, especially in climate change scenarios. We need to think out of the box, creating multi-disciplinary panels of experts able to exploit the advances in chemistry, environmental engineering, and ICT to effectively join human health protection and economic and social development. In this sense, stakeholders’ involvement is essential to success. This MOOC wants to communicate the challenge of protecting water and then human health from chemical and microbiological hazards, as well as the multidisciplinarity required by this challenge by providing some key elements about water quality, protection and remediation, sustainable drinking water production, online monitoring, and finally advanced computing for process control. Moreover, a broader perspective to investigate the experience of water supply will be introduced. For instance, participants will be invited to observe and understand people’s practices around drinking water, exploring approaches and tools derived from service and product design to support behavioral change. It fulfills SDG6, covering almost all its set targets, but also some relevant targets in SDG11, SDG12, and SGD15, considering the strict connection among safe water provision, robust cities/societies development, and sustainable consumption.

ChatGPT & Zapier: Agentic AI for Everyone
Agentic AI is a type of AI that combines Generative AI with tools and actions, allowing us to build "agents" to assist us with everyday tools like Gmail, Office365, Google Sheets, Salesforce, etc. These agents can perform tasks on our behalf, such as updating a spreadsheet or sending an email. There are classes that teach these Agentic AI concepts, but they are geared towards programmers. If you aren't a programmer, they won't teach you how to build agents to help with your daily tasks. This class will teach you how to use ChatGPT and Zapier to build your own agents to help prioritize tasks, keep track of expenses, plan meals and shopping lists, etc. These won't be tools that require you to cut and paste the results back into an email; these will be tools that can directly create a draft email and put it into your email account or allow you to snap a picture of a receipt on the go and have it show up in a spreadsheet. These agents can automate and take action for you. By the end of this class, not only will you understand state-of-the-art aspects of Agentic AI, but you will have built your own Travel Expense Agent. Your agent will be able to take a picture of a receipt or a description of an expense and catalog it into a Google Sheet. It will check your expense with another agent for completeness, ensure the expense isn't already in the spreadsheet, and even draft an email to your administrator with a simple reimbursement report. This course will transform the way you work.

From the Big Bang to Dark Energy
We have learned a lot recently about how the Universe evolved in 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang. More than 80% of matter in the Universe is mysterious Dark Matter, which made stars and galaxies to form. The newly discovered Higgs-boson became frozen into the Universe a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang and brought order to the Universe. Yet we still do not know how ordinary matter (atoms) survived against total annihilation by Anti-Matter. The expansion of the Universe started acceleration about 7 billion years ago and the Universe is being ripped apart. The culprit is Dark Energy, a mysterious energy multiplying in vacuum. I will present evidence behind these startling discoveries and discuss what we may learn in the near future. This course is offered in English.
