Computer Vision: YOLO Custom Object Detection with Colab GPU
Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this comprehensive course, you'll dive into the world of real-time object detection with YOLO, one of the most powerful algorithms for detecting objects in images and videos. The course begins with an introduction to YOLO and object detection, followed by setting up your development environment with Anaconda and installing essential libraries like OpenCV. A review of Python basics ensures you are equipped with the necessary programming knowledge before delving into convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Once your environment is ready, the course progresses into more advanced topics such as implementing YOLO for pre-trained object detection. You’ll explore practical examples, including detecting objects in images, videos, and live webcam feeds. The course then takes you through custom training with YOLOv4, where you will learn to collect and label data, train-test split, and prepare Darknet for training your own models. Each phase of custom training is covered step by step, including synchronization with Google Colab and Drive, testing Darknet, and fine-tuning the training process. By the end of the course, you'll be adept at training YOLO models for specific use cases, including the detection of various objects and even custom challenges such as COVID-19 detection. Along the way, you'll troubleshoot common issues like GPU usage limits in Colab and explore real-world case studies to solidify your understanding. No prior knowledge of YOLO is required, but a basic understanding of machine learning concepts will be helpful. This course is designed for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and computer vision enthusiasts who are familiar with Python programming.

Critical Perspectives on Management
This course is designed for students of all backgrounds who have an interest in how firms are governed, the forces that have helped define modern management practice, and the outcomes of that practice not only for the firm itself, but also for the societies in which they operate. For students who are thinking of a career in management, it may also prove useful as a basic introduction to some of the conceptual vocabulary and ideas behind modern theories of management. Using a wide disciplinary approach - from economics and history to social theory and even a smattering of biblical criticism - the course will invite students to consider several core management strategies and priorities from often unexpected perspectives in order to judge their success or failure. The key objective of the course is to bring into critical focus how we think about the function and culture of management, how managers understand their role within a firm, how they take decisions, set priorities and benchmark success and failure. Topics include: the function of the firm; the role of incentive; the ways in which narrative forces shape decision making, and how market relationships define the managerial culture in ways that can lead to sub-optimal outcomes.

NGO Startup Analysis with Nonprofit Business Model Canvas
By the end of this guided project, you will be able to use the Nonprofit Business Model Canvas to create, deliver, and capture value for your Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). The canvas serves as a blueprint to help you to design, and operationalize your idea in a more systematic approach. The Canvas is 9-block visualization tool derived from the popular Business Model Canvas, but modified to fit into the NGO context. Essentially, the canvas helps you and your team to answer pertinent questions relating to strategic decision-making, allocation of resources, or developing proposal for grants. Because the canvas makes it easy for you to share ideas and solicit feedback, it’s therefore a quick communicate and strategic planning tool. For us to practically demonstrate how to use the Nonprofit Business Model Canvas to conduct analysis and make informed decisions, we will use a spreadsheet to analyze an NGO startup as a case study. Example of the case study would empower you to apply the model to your organization or any other NGO of your choice. The project is for social entrepreneurs who want to make positive impact on the lives of others. Also, for social investors or donors that want to understand the operations of an NGO. At the end of the project, you will be able to use the canvas to creates and delivers value for your beneficiaries and other stakeholders
