Cybersecurity for Everyone
Cybersecurity affects everyone, including in the delivery of basic products and services. If you or your organization want to better understand how to address your cybersecurity, this is the course for you and your colleagues to take -- from seasoned professionals to your non-technical colleagues. Your instructor, Dr. Charles Harry, has served on the front lines with the NSA (National Security Agency) and as an expert advising corporate and institutional leaders on managing cybersecurity risk. And he brings a rare and engaging perspective to help you learn cybersecurity from the ground up. Cybersecurity for Everyone lays the groundwork to understand and explore the key issues facing policy makers attempting to manage the problem of cybersecurity, from its technical foundations to the domestic and international policy considerations surrounding governance, privacy, and risk management, to applications for achieving the goals of an enterprise, an institution, or a nation. This course is designed for students with some or no background in information technology, whether a novice or active in the cybersecurity field (engineers and computer scientists will learn the broader context and business aspects of cybersecurity), and will provide the principles to understand the current debates shaping a rapidly evolving security landscape.

Write A Feature Length Screenplay For Film Or Television
Write a Full Length Feature Film Script In this course, you will write a complete, feature-length screenplay for film or television, be it a serious drama or romantic comedy or anything in between. You’ll learn to break down the creative process into components, and you’ll discover a structured process that allows you to produce a polished and pitch-ready script by the end of the course. Completing this project will increase your confidence in your ideas and abilities, and you’ll feel prepared to pitch your first script and get started on your next. This is a course designed to tap into your creativity and is based in "Active Learning". Most of the actual learning takes place within your own activities - that is, writing! You will learn by doing. Here is a link to a TRAILER for the course. To view the trailer, please copy and paste the link into your browser. https://vimeo.com/382067900/b78b800dc0 Learner review: "Love the approach Professor Wheeler takes towards this course. It's to the point, easy to follow, and very informative! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking a Screenplay Writing course! The course curriculum is simple: We will adopt a professional writers room process in which you’ll write, post your work for peer review, share feedback with your peers and revise your work with the feedback you receive from your peers. That's how we do it in the real world. You will feel as if you were in a professional writers room yet no prior experience as a writer is required. I'm a proponent of Experiential Learning (Active Learning). My lectures are short (sometimes just two minutes long) and to the point, designed in a step-by-step process essential to your success as a script writer. I will guide you but I won’t "show" you how to write. I firmly believe that the only way to become a writer is to write, write, write. Learner Review: "I would like to thank this course instructor. It's an amazing course" What you’ll need to get started: As mentioned above, no prior script writing experience is required. To begin with, any basic word processor will do. During week two, you can choose to download some free scriptwriting software such as Celtx or Trelby or you may choose to purchase Final Draft, the industry standard, or you can continue to use your word processor and do your own script formatting. Learner Review: "Now I am a writer!"

DDHH y democracia: una visión desde América Latina
Este curso busca desarrollar competencias y promover nuevos liderazgos y ciudadanías activas en defensa de la democracia y los derechos humanos. Para tal efecto, el curso recoge y difunde conocimiento académico especializado, pero lo presenta de manera sencilla para que llegue a audiencias amplias y diversas. El curso invita a entender la democracia y los derechos humanos como apuestas centrales de una sociedad incluyente y justa, y brinda algunas estrategias para el cambio social. En Latinoamérica vivimos bajo sistemas formalmente democráticos, los cuales reconocen el valor de los derechos humanos. Sin embargo, en la práctica, nuestras sociedades están caracterizadas por su profunda inequidad y por exhibir fragilidad en sus procesos políticos. Algunos de nuestros países, incluso, tienen altos niveles de violencia. Ello evidencia el largo camino que nos queda por recorrer para materializar los derechos humanos y profundizar los procesos democráticos. Este curso introductorio, que se enfoca en el contexto latinoamericano, ofrece un amplio recorrido por la democracia y los derechos humanos y resalta la importancia de su garantía para la consolidación de sociedades vibrantes, justas y dignas.

Coexistence in Medieval Spain: Jews, Christians, and Muslims
This course explores Jewish, Christian, and Muslim intercultural relations in Iberia from the Visigothic era (6th century CE) until the creation of Queen Isabel I and King Ferdinand II Catholic Spain (late 15th century). We evaluate the many identities of the peninsula known as Christian Hispania, Jewish Sefarad, and Islamic al-Andalus. We trace the origins and trajectory of conflict between these communities (the Muslim conquest of Spain, Christian Reconquista, prohibitions blocking intermixing of peoples, and expulsions). We aim to understand conflicts within communities as well, such as the tensions between Christian Arian Visigoths and native Catholic Iberians or the fundamentalist North African Almohad Dynasty that rejected the Spanish Umayyad Caliphate’s preference for religious tolerance. We delve into an appreciation of collaboration and coexistence among these communities. We explore the unique role of the Jewish community who Muslims and Christians depended upon as political and cultural intermediaries as well as their intellectual collaborators. We find the history of how peoples attempted to create and manage viable diverse communities. As we study this history, the Honors Track will employ an investigative process (“The Historian’s Craft”) that involves viewing, reading, analyzing, and reflecting on events, peoples, places, and artifacts.

Forecast Financials with Monte Carlo Mastery
Are you ready to elevate your financial forecasting from single-point estimates to a powerful, probabilistic view of the future? This advanced course is designed for financial analysts who want to master Monte Carlo simulation to quantify risk and make more robust, data-driven decisions. You will learn to move beyond basic forecasting by first analyzing historical data to create a range of plausible, scenario-based projections. Through a series of expert-led videos and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to identify the key, uncertain variables in your financial models—like costs and market demand—and define appropriate probability distributions for them. The core of the course is a step-by-step guide to executing a Monte Carlo simulation in Excel, allowing you to generate a full probability distribution of potential financial outcomes, such as EBITDA. You will not only run the simulation but also learn to interpret the resulting probability curve to answer the ultimate business question: "What is the likelihood we will hit our target?" Please note: This course assumes prior completion of training in building and auditing financial models, or equivalent experience in constructing integrated 3-statement models in Excel.
