AstroTech: The Science and Technology behind Astronomical Discovery
"How do they know that?" Modern astronomy has made some astonishing discoveries - how stars burn and how black holes form; galaxies from the edge of the universe and killer rocks right next door; where the elements come from and how the expanding universe is accelerating. But how do we know all that? The truth is that astronomy would be impossible without technology, and every advance in astronomy is really an advance in technology. But the technology by itself is not enough. We have to apply it critically with a knowledge of physics to unlock the secrets of the Universe. Each week we will cover a different aspect of Astronomical technology, matching each piece of technology to a highlight science result. We will explain how the technology works, how it has allowed us to collect astronomical data, and, with some basic physics, how we interpret the data to make scientific discoveries. The class will consist of video lectures, weekly quizzes, and discussion forums. Each week there will be five videos, totalling approximately 40 minutes. They will be in a regular pattern - a short introduction, an example science story, an explanation of the key technology area, a look at how the technology is used in practice, and finally a look at what the future may hold. Learners can apply for Financial Aid directly with Coursera to assist with the cost of accessing the full course and gaining a certificate for successfully completing the course.

Aspectos conceptuales y operativos de la Telesalud
En este curso se busca brindar las herramientas básicas para cualquier profesional de salud que desee ofrecer atención virtual por cualquier plataforma que le permita una videollamada. Cómo todo principiante esto representa un desafío al incorporar nuevas herramientas en la atención clínica del paciente. Pero lo más importante es dar el primer paso y descubrir las nuevas posibilidades que las tecnologías en comunicación pueden ofrecer. Estar detrás de un monitor puede en un primer instante considerarse una barrera para acercarnos al paciente angustiado y para esto se han planteado una serie de recomendaciones para conducir entrevistas empáticas en entornos virtuales. A su vez también debemos reconocer que posiblemente la telemedicina irá incorporándose como una modalidad estándar de cuidado a los pacientes por lo que es necesario integrarlo a nuestra práctica de forma paulatina y con guía de expertos en el tema. En este curso también se revisará que Asociaciones Médicas e Instituciones Educativas han girado su mirada a la necesidad de solventar las limitantes de la lejanía geográfica de poblaciones que se encuentran en localidades distantes para impulsar la equidad en atención a salud y puedan tener un acceso oportuno a los servicios de salud de alta calidad.

Journey Towards Self Mastery
The two key foundational leadership skills described by both researchers and top corporate executives are awareness and mastery over one’s inner landscape – mental models, thoughts, emotions, and sources of meaning. Why? Simply because it is their interplay which significantly determines one’s way of engaging effectively in the world. When developed adequately, these two inner meta competencies enable the leader to assess the complex and changing situations with minimum colouring and distortion. The leader’s vision, short- and long-term goals are also rooted in a calm, lucid appreciation of what is. Decisions and actions can become more flexible, pertinent and inclusive, and relating to people more open, authentic and nourishing. Journey towards Self Mastery (JTSM) is a reflective and experiential course as an initiation on this path of development. Its intention is to provide management students insights and practical tools to navigate with wisdom, live with more engagement, meaning and fulfilment, and in the process accomplish their quest for performance and success. The content of the sessions is based upon insights and practices from Eastern Wisdom Traditions (Advaita, Vedanta, Buddhism, etc.) and the growing field of Mindfulness, supplemented by frameworks from Cognitive and Developmental Psychology and research findings from Neurosciences. By the end of this Course, you will be able to 1. Identify your areas of subjectivity and distorted thinking patterns. 2. Apply appropriate responses to situations, through insights and skills gained from both Western Cognitive Psychology and Eastern Wisdom. 3. Construct foundations for your personal practice of meditation to become more aware and grounded, to operate from greater relaxation, and to be more creative and lucid in decision-making. 4. Prepare yourselves to be more empathetic and participative to deal with others at work. 5. Discover the sources of meaning and fulfillment in your life. 6. Understand the concepts of interconnectedness and interdependence, and their role as an active contributor to society. 7. Prepare themselves to act wisely by distinguishing between their capacity to drive change and the acceptance of what is beyond.

Program Design and Evaluation
Welcome to the Program Design and Evaluation course! By the end of this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the conceptual and methodological steps in designing and evaluating a program or a project to operationalize a public policy initiative. You will learn how a program aims to allocate resources to its intended beneficiaries by engaging multiple stakeholders. You will analyze its necessity when a market, generally seen as the most efficient mechanism to allocate resources, fails to do the needful in the desired measure. You will further explore that the beneficiary of a program or a project may be an individual, a firm, or even a collective community, an organization, and different layers of a state. You will analyze that while a program or a project involves collective public action, it is necessary to ensure that such action delivers the desired outcomes. The course focuses on how program design entails identifying the required collective actions relevant for translating a public policy initiative into desired social outcomes, even if such actions may succeed or fail to deliver the desired outcomes. You will gain insights into how program design, implementation, and evaluation feedback help make a program or a project successful in meeting its stated objectives.
