Toma de Decisiones
La toma de decisiones es una actividad cotidiana para los seres humanos en todos los ámbitos en los que se desempeña. En el ámbito organizacional, es común escuchar que existen severas falencias en este aspecto: decisiones que se toman fuera de tiempo, decisiones que directamente no se toman y decisiones que son tomadas por personas que carecen de las competencias necesarias. Hay una diferencia básica entre la visión de la realidad idealizada, absolutamente racional y sin problemas, y la realidad imperfecta y afectada por cuestiones emocionales en el proceso de toma de decisiones. La realidad tiene más que ver con “salir del paso” o “buscar una solución lo suficientemente satisfactoria” que con encontrar la “solución perfecta”. En consecuencia, las personas no buscan en realidad decisiones perfectas u óptimas, sino que trabajan con una ignorancia parcial; tratan de encontrar una alternativa que tenga probabilidades de dar buenos resultados, considerando las limitaciones de la racionalidad y la incertidumbre. A lo largo del curso se realizará un recorrido siguiendo el marco conceptual que se describe a continuación: en el primer módulo se analizarán los aspectos racionales del proceso de toma de decisiones, considerando las limitaciones que enfrentan los tomadores de decisiones en el ámbito organizacional. Posteriormente, se analizará la influencia de las cuestiones emocionales. En el segundo módulo se desarrollarán cuestiones de tipo metodológico, comparando la metodología clásica con otra metodología que pone el acento en la creatividad. En el tercer módulo se analizarán, por un lado, las fallas que habitualmente ocurren en el proceso de percibir, buscar, compartir y usar la información y, por el otro, las trampas psicológicas que conspiran contra la calidad de las decisiones. Finalmente, en el cuarto módulo se desarrollarán los fundamentos de la Teoría de los Juegos y las particularidades de la toma de decisiones en el contexto de los equipos de trabajo. Además de los desarrollos teórico-prácticos, se incluyen otras actividades adicionales, como ejercicios útiles para aplicar algunos conceptos.

Modern Robotics, Course 5: Robot Manipulation and Wheeled Mobile Robots
Do you want to know how robots work? Are you interested in robotics as a career? Are you willing to invest the effort to learn fundamental mathematical modeling techniques that are used in all subfields of robotics? If so, then the "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control" specialization may be for you. This specialization, consisting of six short courses, is serious preparation for serious students who hope to work in the field of robotics or to undertake advanced study. It is not a sampler. In Course 5 of the specialization, Robot Motion Planning and Wheeled Mobile Robots, we delve into advanced topics in robotics. Chapter 12, Grasping and Manipulation, of the "Modern Robotics" textbook covers the modeling of kinematics and forces between rigid bodies in contact, and applies the modeling to analysis and planning of robot grasping and other manipulation tasks. Chapter 13, Wheeled Mobile Robots, covers modeling, motion planning, and feedback control of omnidirectional and nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots, and concludes by addressing control of mobile manipulators consisting of a wheeled mobile base and a robot arm. This course follows the textbook "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control" (Lynch and Park, Cambridge University Press 2017). You can purchase the book or use the free preprint pdf. You will build on a library of robotics software in the language of your choice (among Python, Mathematica, and MATLAB) and use the free cross-platform robot simulator V-REP, which allows you to work with state-of-the-art robots in the comfort of your own home and with zero financial investment.

Introduction to Crisis Management and Crisis Communication
Increasingly, modern societies are witnessing crises of confidence in their institutions, whether they are for-profit, non-profit, or governmental. Today, being able to identify and manage a crisis is no longer a “nice to,” it’s essential. In this course, you’ll learn about the basics of crisis management and crisis communication, and what needs to be in an effective crisis plan. You'll also see something that is rarely discussed in detail – how organizations can effectively handle the very first moments of a crisis, and where they can make poor decisions that can have damaging consequences. You'll hear from professionals who handle organizational crises so that you are better positioned to understand the dynamics of crises. As such, this course, via structured learning activities (video lectures and quizzes), will help prepare you for the near certainty that whatever organization you work for (or want to work for) will encounter a crisis.

Web Design: Strategy and Information Architecture
This course is focused on the early user experience (UX) challenges of research, planning, setting goals, understanding the user, structuring content, and developing interactive sequences. While the concepts covered will translate to many kinds of interactive media (apps, digital kiosks, games), our primary focus will be on designing contemporary, responsive websites. In this course you will complete the first half of a large scale project—developing a comprehensive plan for a complex website—by defining the strategy and scope of the site, as well as developing its information architecture and overall structure. Along the way we will also discuss: - Different job descriptions in the web design industry and where UX and UI skills fall within this spectrum - The difference between native apps and websites - The difference of agile vs. waterfall approaches - User personas and site personas - User testing The work and knowledge in this course continues in the last course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, Web Design: Wireframes to Prototypes, where you will tackle—finally—wireframes, visual mockups, and clickable prototypes. This is the third course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, which brings a design-centric approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone. These courses are ideal for anyone with some experience in graphic or visual design and who would like to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design. It would also be ideal for anyone with experience in front- or back-end web development or human-computer interaction and want to sharpen their visual design and analysis skills for UI or UX.

Theoretical Bases of Health and Injury Management
This course introduces the scientific foundations of sports injury causation, workload modelling, and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in injury prevention. Learners will explore how injury mechanisms have evolved from simple monocausal views to multifactorial, dynamic, and systems-based approaches that reflect real athlete complexity. Through clear explanations and practical football examples, the course covers essential concepts such as intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, the dynamic recursive model, the workload–injury relationship, and modern systems thinking used in elite performance environments. The second part of the course examines precision workload metrics, including acute: chronic workload ratios, high-speed running thresholds, acceleration load, sleep quality monitoring, and contextual load management. Finally, learners discover how AI and machine learning are transforming injury prediction, from multi-modal data integrations to SVM models, decision trees, Bayesian networks, individualised risk profiles, and early-warning systems used in elite clubs. By the end of this course, learners will understand the biological, physiological, and data-driven mechanisms behind injuries, and how modern AI-enhanced monitoring strategies reduce injury risk, optimize performance, and enhance player availability.
