Microsoft on AWS - Porting Assistant for .NET
Porting applications from .NET Framework to .NET can be a significant manual effort. The process includes spending valuable time identifying the dependencies and APIs that are incompatible with .NET, and estimating the level of effort involved to remediate. Porting Assistant for .NET is an analysis tool that helps you port your applications to Linux faster. Additionally, porting .NET Framework applications to .NET lets you take advantage of the performance, cost savings, and robust ecosystem of Linux. Porting Assistant for .NET quickly scans .NET Framework applications to identify incompatibilities with .NET, finds known replacements, and generates a detailed compatibility assessment. This reduces the manual effort involved in modernizing your applications to Linux. As you progress through this course, you will relate the concepts that you are learning about to a real-world scenario use case. For illustration purposes, we will refer to the company in this use case as AnyCompany.

Internationalization of Education: Global Issues & Trends
A child born in 2020 is projected into an interconnected, interdependent world, in which local events can have global resonances and in which international phenomena impact the daily lives of many individuals. In order to prepare for this, not only the school, but also all the actors who make up the world of education must grasp new challenges characterized by an unprecedented internationalization. The main objective of this MOOC is to understand how events that are far away from school actors can impact their daily life: to do so, we will proceed by playing with scale and will alternate between presentations of global issues and local responses. The second key objective is to better understand the themes that structure what we will call here the field of international education; in other words, an education impacted by the interdependencies of the world. We will deal with migration, forced migration, North-South relations, international cooperation and global citizenship education. Through modules and lessons, you will have the keys to better understand these themes and resources to deepen their understanding. You will be able to mobilize concepts and various theoretical resources to analyze, put into perspective and criticize the developments that the world of education is following in a globalized context.

Easing the burden of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
This course is multidisciplinary in nature, and aims to equip the global audience of interested lay people, people with chronic disease, public health researchers, health clinicians, students, administrators, and researchers to reflect on the overall impact of the burden of chronic disease . It shows how all chronic diseases (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer) are related by a set of common causes, and that such diseases should be tackled, not individually, but as part of a complex system, with interrelated contributing factors. These factors are genetic, environmental, psychological, economic, social, developmental, and media related. The Charles Perkins Centre at the University of Sydney is a unique interdisciplinary education and research hub which seeks solutions to chronic disease through a complex systems approach. Academics in many disciplines (in Science and Medicine, but also in Architecture, Humanities, Law etc) work in a collaborative fashion to produce novel solutions to the problems of chronic disease. All contributors and participants in this course are members of the Charles Perkins Centre and will speak from the unique interdisciplinary perspective that this Centre affords. The course will describe a complex systems approach as the most productive way to ease the burden of chronic disease. It then describes these diseases in detail, their risk factors, and the environmental and biological factors that have led to the current epidemic of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Finally, the solutions – and more importantly the process for finding solutions- is the subject of the last module. No one approach by itself can ever be the answer, and certainly not a simple diet and exercise approach. The entire course consists of 5 content modules, plus an extra module for completing assignments and discussions, and takes about 6 weeks to complete. Completion certificates are issued on the basis of participation in all 6 modules. What you'll learn: - How the Charles Perkins Centre recruits interdisciplinary teams to ease the burden of chronic disease - How a complex systems approach is necessary to provide solutions to a complex problem - The fundamentals of chronic disease research and where it is heading - The biggest risk factors for chronic disease and their global incidence - The biological, genetic, social, regulatory, and other influences that have inflated these risk factors - How to provide solutions globally for the reduction of chronic disease
