Transmitting and Fighting Infectious Diseases
Understanding how pathogens cause infections and how infectious diseases are transmitted is crucial for preventing and controlling the spread of illnesses. In this course, you will learn how diseases like the common flu spread, the mechanisms behind bacterial resistance, the body's defence mechanisms, and the importance of immunization. You will understand what pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites are and discover how antibiotics work. You will then explore what causes resistance to antibiotics, a significant and growing problem worldwide, as it can make the treatment of bacterial infections more challenging and, in some cases, ineffective. The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs working together to defend the body against harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. The course will help you understand the immune system's main components and how the innate and adaptive immune responses fight invading pathogens. You will explore immunisation and how it triggers the immune system to remember pathogens.

Creating a DAO website with HOTGLUE
Traditionally speaking, website designs follow a format based on newspaper layouts. Although that is an useful (unspoken) convention, it does bring limits to what one can create when building a webpage. The tool explored in this project challenges that by allowing users to work on a website just as if they were doing a paper collage with... HOTGLUE. With zero code and straight from the web-browser. The study object for this project is the website of a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) so you will also learn about this emergent paradigm for human coordination. However, you are most encouraged to bring your own website idea/need and develop that throughout our journey. Let's go?

Introducción al HTML5
Gracias a un número creciente de programas de software, parece que cualquiera puede hacer una página web. Pero, ¿Qué pasa si realmente quieres entender cómo se creó la página? Hay excelentes libros de texto y recursos en línea para aprender diseño web, pero la mayoría de esos recursos requieren algunos conocimientos previos. Este curso está diseñado para ayudar al principiante que quiere ganar confianza y conocimientos. Exploraremos la teoría (¿Qué sucede realmente cuando se hace clic en un enlace en una página web?), lo práctico (¿Qué necesito saber para hacer mi propia página?) y lo pasado por alto (tengo una página, ¿Qué hago ahora?). A lo largo del curso se dará un fuerte énfasis en adherirse a los estándares sintácticos para la validación y estándares semánticos a fin de promover una amplia accesibilidad para los usuarios con discapacidades. El libro de texto que usamos está disponible en línea, “The Missing Link: An Introduction to Web Development and Programming” (“El Enlace Pedido: Una Introducción al Desarrollo y a la Programación Web") por Michael Méndez, en www.opensuny.org. Este curso atraerá a una amplia variedad de personas, pero específicamente a aquellos que deseen una descripción paso a paso de los conceptos básicos. No hay requisitos previos para este curso y se asume que los estudiantes no tienen habilidades de programación previas o experiencia en TI. El curso culminará con un pequeño proyecto que requerirá la realización de una página muy sencilla con enlaces e imágenes. El enfoque de este curso está en lo básico, no en la apariencia. Puedes ver un ejemplo de página final en http://intro-webdesign.com/html5-plain.html. Este es el primer curso de la Especialización en Diseño Web para todo el mundo. Los cursos posteriores se centran en las habilidades comercializables de estilizar la página con CSS3, agregar interactividad con JavaScript y mejorar el estilo con un diseño receptivo.
