According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the current economy, Americans shift jobs every 4-5 years, which translates into 8-10 job transitions, including several career changes, over one’s life time. With competition for jobs on the rise, a person’s continuing employability and career success are increasingly defined by his or her mastery of individual career development and the ability to effectively "manage oneself" (P. Drucker). \n\nIn this course, you will learn how to think strategically and professionally about your career self-management. Through this course you'll develop an objective, external view of your marketable skills as a solid foundation for building a strong career brand.

Speaking to inform: Discussing complex ideas with clear explanations and dynamic slides

University of Washington

In the professional realm, most speeches and presentations we give are informative in scope. A scientist needs to explain her recent research findings. A financial officer needs to report on quarterly earnings to his company’s board. A technology professional needs to educate a consumer about a new product. Any time you need to convey ideas or demonstrate a process, you’re dealing with informative speaking. \n\nInformative speaking is a fun puzzle. You need to think from the perspective of your audience to identify what they need to hear in order to understand the key ideas. How much does the audience already know? What are the most important elements to convey? How should one convey these ideas with appropriate breadth and depth given the time constraints of the speech? This demands a strategic approach to speech design that we’ll undertake in this class.\n\nBy the end of the course, you should be able to explain complex ideas vividly and accessibly, design clear and compelling presentation slides, convey your passion for a topic while maintaining your professional credibility, and speak dynamically from notes and/or a manuscript. Learners will record speeches, providing and receiving peer feedback.

Good speaking is your most enduring job skill. This four-course specialization will provide you with the instruction, experience, and practice to develop and deliver compelling presentations. Drawing from the established knowledge in communication, rhetoric, linguistics, and argumentation, each course balances proven ideas with lots of speech practice.\n\nThe courses in this specializations should help speakers at all levels. If you are nervous about public speaking, this is for you! I have spent an entire career helping nervous novice speakers grow into confident communicators. We slowly work up specific skills that you can practice multiple times before putting together a longer speech.

Speaking to persuade: Motivating audiences with solid arguments and moving language

University of Washington

In the professional realm, we need to be able to argue without being argumentative. Whether you are fundraising for a nonprofit, pitching a business proposal, or suggesting a change to company policy, you are making arguments. In making the case for your topic, you often want to raise awareness, identify a pressing problem, discuss appropriate solutions, and outline specific steps for the audience. \n\nTo be persuasive, you must be clear (the audience may have little to no existing knowledge), you must be convincing (you are trying to sway the audience that your argument is valid), and you must be compelling (you are trying to motivate the audience enough so that they want to take specific actions). Persuasive speaking thus requires clarity, strategy, topic mastery, plus a sense of style and presence. \n\nBy the end of this course, you should be able to design persuasive speeches that address problems and solutions and that motivate audience members. You should be able to use rhetorical style strategically and deliver passionate and compelling speeches. Learners will record speeches, providing and receiving peer feedback.

Speaking to Inspire: Ceremonial and Motivational Speeches

University of Washington

The most memorable speeches inspire, entertain, and praise. By blending stories and eloquence, great speeches highlight the core values motivating an audience. You might need to do this in a keynote address, a eulogy, or simply a business meeting. Inspiring audiences is a common, but difficult writing challenge. You want a speech that elevates the topic and the audience. \n\nThis course gives you a method for preparing and delivering speeches that inspire and entertain. By the end of this course, you should be able to compose and deliver moving speeches that praise core audience values through evidence, storytelling, and humor. You should be able to write eloquent passages in tones appropriate to the audience and occasion and speak fluidly from either a well-prepared manuscript or from memory. Learners will record speeches, providing and receiving peer feedback.

"Fandom, Social Media, and Authenticity in the Digital Age" focuses your attention on the interconnected dynamics of identity, representation, interpretation, and self-reflection. It asks the question: how, where, and with whom do we inhabit the worlds of fandom and popular culture in the digital age? We will explore the role of digital media in the production of celebrity and fandom, using social media tools and platforms as a running case study. More broadly, the course is about what media studies scholar Henry Jenkins has called “participatory culture,” the processes by which bring our selves into digital spaces, establish trust and authenticity (or challenge these concepts), and negotiate identity in and amongst others. Along the way, you will develop skills in critical self-reflection and communication, as well as analysis and interpretation. You’ll audit your own social media usage, and put this learning in context with major social media presences of our era. \n\nCourse-Level Learning Outcomes\n\n* Define and describe the relationship between fandom, popular culture, and digital media as each impact our identity and interactions with others\n* Apply critical self-reflection and close reading frameworks through personal and professional writing and online publication\n* Engage with pop culture and fandom communities by leveraging online platforms to make connections and synthesize learning\n* Reflect on your personal relationship to social media, identity, representation, and social interaction online\n\nCourse 1 Skills:\n* Personal Development\n* Analysis\n* Digital Literacy\n* Writing\n* Social Media\n* Close Reading

Fandom and Popular Culture in the Digital Age

How might what we love - what we watch, what we read, what we post - make our communities healthier and more vibrant? This question guides Fandom and Popular Culture in the Digital Age. In our networked and information-saturated world, three vital needs emerge: representing identity in digital media, interrogating the products of culture, and engaging meaningfully with digital communities. This course addresses these needs by inviting you into a space of reflection at the intersection of fandom, popular culture, and digital media. More than at any point in human history, these forces have put at our fingertips the means to create and disseminate ourselves in the world. We will explore the products of popular culture and trace the fan networks that sustain and derive value from them. Along the way, we will train you to recognize relationships between popular culture and the political and commercial forces that shape its publication, distribution, and consumption.\n\nThis course will equip you with the tools necessary to boost your digital media fluency and define, shape, and evolve your identity as a fan within digital spaces. But ultimately, this is a celebration - a celebration of you and your communities, what you love, and how that love might bring people together to change the world. Together, we can make this a community-driven online resource for our shared endeavor of analyzing and understanding fandom and popular culture.

Fandom, Community, and Identity in Popular Music

University of Colorado Boulder

In "Fandom, Community, and Identity in Popular Music," you will explore the intersections of fandom and popular culture using pop music as a framework. You will apply your skills of self-reflection and close reading/analysis to a few case studies of pop musicians and the ways in which their art inhabits and evolves in pop culture spaces. You will learn about what it means to be a music fan, and therefore to be a fan in general. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to express your creativity as a fan by making something to contribute back into your fandom. This project will ask you to apply your self-reflection and close reading frameworks, and will ground your studies of fandom and pop culture in your lived experience (both physical and virtual). \n\nCourse-Level Learning Outcomes\n\n* Define and describe the dynamics of popular music and its relationship with fandom, popular culture, and digital media\n* Apply critical self-reflection and close reading frameworks through analytical writing and creative expression\n* Engage with pop culture and fandom communities by leveraging online platforms to make connections and synthesize learning\n* Reflect on your personal relationship to popular music, popular art, and how popular culture intersects with memory and nostalgia\n\nCourse 2 Skills: \n* Analysis\n* Evaluation\n* Critical Thinking\n* Communication\n* Creativity\n* Close Reading

Comic Books, Geek Culture, and the Fandom Imaginary

University of Colorado Boulder

"Comic Books, Geek Culture, and the Fandom Imaginary" explores some of the conventional framings of “fandom” (from comic book obsessives to cosplayers) and the cultural histories that sustain it. It also explores the dark side of these dynamics, looking at what can happen when fandom turns toxic in pop culture spaces. You will continue to apply frameworks of self-reflection and close reading/analysis to the study of contemporary popular culture, and explore how those frameworks provide tools for understanding the self as much as our cultural surroundings. The course asks the fundamental question: how can what we love - what we read, what we watch, what we share - contribute to making the world a better place? Along the way, you’ll continue to develop your skills in honing and representing your fandom, specifically engaging in activities designed to help you find your fellow fans, help you find your people, and connect with them outside and beyond the course.\n\nCourse-Level Learning Outcomes\n\n* Define and describe the dynamics of geek culture (fantasy, science fiction, comic books, graphic novels), as well as its relationships to fandom, popular culture, and digital media\n* Apply critical self-reflection and close reading frameworks through analytical writing and creative expression\n* Engage with pop culture and fandom communities by leveraging online platforms to make connections and synthesize learning\n* Reflect on your personal relationship to geek culture (fantasy, science fiction, comic books, graphic novels), and how popular culture intersects with memory and nostalgia\n\nCourse 3 Skills: \n* Analysis\n* Self-Reflection\n* Critical Thinking\n* Communication\n* Culture\n* Close Reading

Estilos de Liderazgo: opciones para avanzar en desafíos complejos

Universidad de los Andes

Liderazgo es una palabra que se usa para muchas cosas diferentes y a veces opuestas. Cuando la gente intenta concertar una definición, hay una tendencia general a recurrir al modelo heroico del liderazgo, de un hombre con características especiales y en un puesto directivo que convence a otros de seguirlo hacia su visión. Este modelo es atractivo, pero limitado y obsoleto para la mayoría de los desafíos que nos importan hoy en día. El “modelo heroico” suele ser muy útil para solucionar problemas que no requieren cambios en las personas involucradas en solucionarlos, pero es menos útil o incluso factible para progresar en la solución de problemas difíciles de definir, en situaciones en que hay mucha incertidumbre, y cuando parte importante del problema son las decisiones hábitos y miedos de la propia gente (tú incluida/o) que necesita trabajar para llegar a la solución.\n \nEn este curso vamos a preguntarnos ¿qué concepción de liderazgo y qué tipo de habilidades son útiles para el complejo y cambiante mundo en el que vivimos?, ¿cómo se aprenden estas habilidades?, ¿para qué tipo de desafíos es necesario el liderazgo?, ¿qué recursos de poder y formas de autoridad hacen parte del liderazgo y cuáles no?, ¿qué riesgos tiene la práctica del liderazgo?, ¿cómo te proteges?.\n \nVamos a invitarte a que, en el espacio virtual y en tu vida real, adquieras una perspectiva potente, unas “Gafas Efectivas” para mirar el mundo complejo en el que vives, diagnosticar los desafíos que te importan y planear intervenciones para avanzar en ellos. En otras palabras, el curso te acompaña en el proceso de adueñarte de una metodología de diagnóstico e intervención, que llamamos Espiral de Liderazgo Consciente, que te va ayudar a identificar y caracterizar:\n\n1. Tus propósitos\n2. Los desafíos y oportunidades que enfrentas para llegar a ellos\n3. Los aspectos técnicos de estos desafíos/oportunidades, que tienen que ver con reglas, dinero, conocimiento, expertos y autoridades formales\n4. Los aspectos humanos y sistémicos de estos desafíos/oportunidades: que tienen que ver con las personas interesadas y afectadas, sus valores, miedos, las facciones que forman y a veces pelean entre sí, la probabilidad de que sean aliados o detractores\n5. Tus recursos formales e informales (y desafíos internos) que afectan el tema que quieres avanzar, y los riesgos del liderazgo que probablemente enfrentarás\n\nTodo ello para que planees intervenciones y experimentos de avance, y reflexiones sobre cómo protegerte (pensando en el sistema, haciendo alianzas, reflexionando en la acción, escuchando a las facciones, gestionando tus emociones, etc)\n \nVamos a invitarte también a observar y profundizar tu habilidad para estar presente y para reflexionar y aprender antes, durante y después de hacer alguna intervención dirigida a mejorar tus resultados personales o de grupo. En otras palabras, vamos a acompañarte a profundizar en tres herramientas que llamamos “Estoy Aquí”; “Subir al Balcón” y “Parada para respirar” que tienen que ver con meta-observar al mundo, a ti mismo en el mundo y a tu mundo interior y encontrar la respuesta a preguntas como: ¿cómo te sientes cuando estás intensamente presente en una actividad (o en un sistema en el que quieres intervenir para cambiar los resultados)?, ¿cuáles son los mecanismos por los que se dispersa tu atención y las justificaciones que te das a ti mismo para dejar de estar presente?, ¿qué está pasando en el mundo externo?, ¿qué está pasando en tu interior?.\n \nEstos objetivos de aprendizaje implican que el curso al que vas a entrar no está diseñado de forma convencional, como clases magistrales en las que un experto te “enseña” conceptos, sino que el rol de los profesores en este curso es el de diseñar oportunidades de aprendizaje para ti, y acompañarte a que reflexiones sobre ellas.\n \n"Estilos de Liderazgo: Opciones para Avanzar en Desafíos Complejos" (https://www.coursera.org/learn/estilos-liderazgo/home/welcome) es el primero de cuatro cursos que componen el programa especializado en "Liderazgo Efectivo para el Siglo XXI" (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/liderazgo-efectivo). Los otros tres cursos son: "Autoliderazgo y Gestión de Emociones para Avanzar en Desafíos Complejos"; "Comunicación, Experimentación y Aprendizaje en Liderazgo"; y "Liderazgo para el siglo XXI". Puedes tomar todos los cursos por separado o sólo uno de ellos, sin embargo te recomendamos que te inscribas y participes en los cuatro, ojalá en el orden que te proponemos.\n\nEn general, todo el programa está dirigido a cualquier persona interesada en conectarse con sus propósitos y profundizar sus habilidades para progresar en desafíos personales y colectivos muy complejos. Es especialmente útil para personas en mandos medios y altos en organizaciones públicas, privadas y no gubernamentales (ONGs). También para líderes comunitarios, activistas y en general gente que trabaja con personas y que necesita desarrollar o profundizar habilidades y herramientas para crear, a partir de grupos con opiniones e intereses diversos comunidades que trabajan juntas para avanzar en los temas que les importan. Va a ser útil, también, para personas interesadas en aprender a mejorar los resultados que observan en su esfera de vida más personal.

Interest in meditation, mindfulness, and contemplation has grown exponentially in recent years. Rather than being seen as mystical practices from ancient Buddhism or esoteric philosophy, they are increasingly seen as technologies rooted in evidence from psychology and neuroscience. Mindfulness has become the basis for numerous therapeutic interventions, both as a treatment in healthcare and as a means of enhancing well-being and happiness. For millions around the world, mindfulness has become a life-style choice, enhancing and enriching everyday experience. Mindfulness is big business.\n\nBut, what actually is mindfulness? Is it really good for you? Can anyone learn it? How can you recognize charlatans? Would you want to live in a mindful society, and would it smell like sandalwood? What does it feel like to be mindful? Are you mindful already, and how would you know?\n\nEvolving from the popular Honours Academy course at Leiden University, this innovative course combines conventional scholarly inquiry from multiple disciplines (ranging from psychology, through philosophy, to politics) with experiential learning (including specially designed ‘meditation labs,’ in which you’ll get chance to practice and analyze mindfulness on yourself). In the end, the course aims to provide a responsible, comprehensive, and inclusive education about (and in) mindfulness as a contemporary phenomenon.\n\nDuring the production of this course, we have been supported by Willem Kuyken, Director of the University of Oxford Mindfulness Centre, and Stephen Batchelor, co-founder of Bodhi College. And we gratefully acknowledge the contributions made by Mark Williams, co-developer of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Rebecca Crane, Director of the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at the University of Bangor.\n\n"The course enabled me to explore the mindfulness construct at its deeper lever from philosophical, psychological and political lenses. The mindfulness labs were very useful in practicing the skills of being mindful." 23 nov 2018\n\n"i took this course after a period of time when I was trying to practice mindfulness and meditation, but with doubtful success. The course answered many questions to me, and I needed that to keep me motivated. It really helped me understand the origins and, more importantly, benefits of mindfulness practice and made me persist in my attempts. I'm really glad I took the course, I find it interesting, well taught and very useful for all those seeking deeper explanation in why trying mindfulness." 9 Oct 2018\n\n"I have taken other courses in other online platforms. However, this has been one of the best courses I have found online." 3 Oct 2018\n\n"I really like the invitation to us, the learners, to rethink our preconceptions and beliefs, and then make our own judgement about mindfulness. The overall tone was very friendly and open, resources very useful." 12 Dec 2017

Cada día es más importante hablar bien en público. \nLa mejor oratoria es la que permite al orador conseguir los objetivos que se había planteado. Contrariamente a la creencia común, la necesidad de una buena oratoria no es exclusiva de ciertos grupos profesionales, sino que todas las personas deberían superar el miedo escénico y hablar bien en público. ¿El motivo? Poder trasladar de manera eficiente el mensaje deseado, ya sea para fines laborales (exponer proyectos laborales, convencer ante foros, asambleas o parlamentos, comunicar mejor con clientes, aumentar el grado de persuasión), como personales (exponer proyectos personales, mejorar la comunicación con las personas). \nEl orador se hace, no nace. \nEn este curso adquirirás recursos para hablar bien y conseguir, a través de la palabra, los objetivos planteados.

A tanulás tanulása: Hatékony mentális eszközök, melyek segítenek megbirkózni a nehéz tantárgyakkal (Learning How to Learn)

University of California San Diego

A kurzus olyan, rendkívül hasznos tanulási módszereket mutat be, amelyeket a művészetek, a zene, az irodalom, a matematika, a természettudományok, a sport és más szakterületek művelői használnak. A kurzus során bemutatjuk, hogyan használ az agy a tanuláshoz két nagyon különböző állapotot, és hogyan tudja tömbösíteni az információt. Szó lesz továbbá kompetencia-illúziókról, memóriatechnikákról, a halogatás kezeléséről, és a legjobb gyakorlatokról, amelyek kutatások alapján a leghatékonyabb segítséget nyújtják nehéz tárgyak tanulásában. \n\nEzek a módszerek a tanulandó területen való jártasságtól függetlenül képesek megváltoztatni a gondolkodásunkat, ezen keresztül pedig az életünket is. Ha valaki máris szakértő, az agy rejtelmeibe való betekintés akkor is hasznos lesz a következőkben: új lendületet kaphat a tanulásban elért sikereihez, olyan vizsgatippeket ismerhet meg, amelyekre nem is gondolt volna, és olyan meglátásokra tehet szert, amelyek segítenek optimalizálni a házi feladattal és a feladatmegoldással töltött időt. Ha valakinek nehezére esik a tanulás, itt a praktikák olyan áttekinthető tárházára bukkan, amelynek segítségével fel tudja venni a fonalat. Ha valaha is arra vágytunk, hogy valamiben fejlődni tudjunk, akkor ez a kurzus szolgálhat számunkra útmutatóként. \n\nA tanulás tanulása: Hatékony mentális eszközök, amelyek segítenek megbirkózni a nehéz tantárgyakkal című Coursera kurzus Barbara Oakley és Terrence Sejnowsky Learning How to Learn (LHTL) kurzusának magyar változata, mely a Szegedi Tudományegyetem munkatársai közreműködésével valósult meg.\n\nA kurzus felvehető az angol nyelvű Mindshift („Szemléletváltás”) elnevezésű, kapcsolódó kurzustól függetlenül, azzal párhuzamosan, vagy akár előtte. (A tanulás tanulása fókuszában inkább a tanulás áll, a Mindshift fókuszában pedig inkább a karrierépítés.)\n\nA kurzus teljes, portugál nyelvű verziója az alábbi linken érhető el: https://www.coursera.org/learn/aprender\nA kurzus teljes, spanyol nyelvű verziója az alábbi linken érhető el: https://www.coursera.org/learn/aprendiendo-a-aprender\nA kurzus teljes, kínai nyelvű verziója az alábbi linken érhető el: https://www.coursera.org/learn/ruhe-xuexi

In this course you will learn how to design the type of training that takes advantage of the plastic nature of the athlete’s body so you mold the right phenotype for a sport. We explore ways the muscular system can be designed to generate higher force and power and the type of training needed to mold the athlete's physical capacity so it meets the energy and biochemical demands of the sport. \n\nWe also examine the cost of plasticity when it is carried beyond the ability of the body to adjust itself to meet the imposed training stresses. The cost of overextending plasticity comes in the form injuries and chronic fatigue. In essence, a coach can push the athlete’s body too far and it can fail. Upon completion of this course you will be able to assemble a scientifically sound annual training plan.

Об этом курсе\n\nЭто курс по психологии, но не для специалистов по психологии, а для людей, стремящихся сделать свою жизнь, жизнь своих близких или даже жизнь своих предприятий наполненной призванием, контролем, подлинностью и точностью. Феномен призвания неизменно интересен всем, кто изучал и изучает проблемы мотивации, счастья, лидерства.\nВ основе курса лежит идея о первичности целого, хорошего, настоящего, о том, что плохое – это испорченное хорошее, и мы можем возвращаться к хорошему, то есть к целому, воспитывая в себе и в других чувствительность к призванию. \n\nПрактический смысл курса\n\nВ современном мире, ставшем в некоторых социальных направлениях очень тесным, жестким жить по призванию становится не только желательно, но и необходимо.\nПрагматический смысл изучения психологии можно свести к проблеме мотивации. Мотивация бывает разного качества. Если вы понимаете, как возникает и сохраняется мотивация, вы владеете ситуацией. Если мотивация для вас – неизвестность, случайность, сомнение и пр., то ситуация владеет вами. Данный курс способствует опыту осознания решающих точек вашего возможного «возвышения до человека» и «падения до человека» \n\nЦели курса\n\nДанный курс построен на диалектике призвания и принуждения. Нечувствительность к призванию ведет к принуждению, длящемуся до тех пор, пока чувствительность к призванию не будет восстановлена. Эта закономерность справедлива для самых разных уровней человеческого диалога с миром. Кем бы вы ни были: родителями, воспитателями, преподавателями, руководителями, тренерами, командирами, супругами, для вас будет полезным точно понимать: что такое призвание и принуждение, как они появляются и проявляются в вашей жизни. \nПроявления жизни по призванию - это обновление, жизнестойкость, инициатива, талант, эффективность. Но мы не всегда в достаточной степени чутки, открыты к призванию. Этот курс направлен на то, чтобы развить Вашу чувствительность к интонациям призвания и принуждения в жизни вообще и в конкретных делах в частности.\n\nСертификат о прохождении данного курса дает дополнительные баллы при поступлении в магистратуру Национального исследовательского Томского государственного университета.

Основы поиска дела жизни. Часть 1. Как перестать откладывать дела на потом?

National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

Конфуций говорил «Найди себе дело по душе, и тебе не придется работать ни дня в своей жизни».\n\nАНЕКДОТ:\n— Доктор, я буду жить?\n— А смысл?!\n\nМы искренне верим, что Вас этот анекдот не касается.\n\n– Вы обожаете свою работу и просыпаетесь рано утром с горящими глазами? \n– Вы готовы до конца своих дней заниматься выбранным сейчас делом?\n– Встретив неудачу на выбранном пути, Вы засучиваете рукава и она подстегивает Вас к более эффективной работе?\n– Жизнь Ваша наполнена смыслом, и Вы несете пользу людям?\n\nЕсли это не совсем так, делаете ли Вы что-то, чтобы это изменить? Или планируете еще потерпеть?\nЕсли Вам надоело стоять на месте и хочется изменить свою жизнь к лучшему, то, возможно Вам стоит посетить психотерапевта или отправиться в Тибет. А еще можно пройти наш курс, в котором мы не обещаем волшебной таблетки, но обещаем отобранные инструменты для решения топ-3 популярных проблем, которые останавливают людей на пути самореализации. \n\nКАК БЫЛ ОСНОВАН ЭТОТ КУРС?\nАвтор курса — Павел Кочкин — за Вас отучился в Гарварде, съездил в Тибет, изучил основы мотивации и позитивной психологии на факультете МГУ и помог найти предназначение тысячам людей по всему миру. Проделав большую работу, основатели образовательного проекта «Предназначение» сильно продвинулись в методологии поиска дела жизни. \n\nМЕТОД ПРОСТ КАК РАЗ, ДВА, ТРИ:\n1. Пройти техосмотр и отжать тормоза (фундамент для развития)\n2. Выбрать, куда ехать (получить гипотезы)\n3. Удержаться на пути (выбрать и воплотить в жизнь главную гипотезу)\nВы находитесь на курсе №1 серии курсов «Основы поиска дела жизни». \nПервый курс «Как перестать откладывать дела на потом?» научит Вас бороться с прокрастинацией. Мы давно работаем над процессом самоопределения и обнаружили, что есть три «тормоза», которые не позволяют нам двигаться в направлении дела нашей жизни. Мы дадим понимание этих «ям» и научим их прорабатывать. По итогам прохождения этого курса вы получите базовые основы развития.\n\nНА СЛЕДУЮЩИХ КУРСАХ ВЫ:\n– Получите хорошо выверенные гипотезы вашего будущего развития\n– Будете обладать инструментами для отсеивания лишних гипотез и воплощения в жизнь главной гипотезы\n\nУтром вас сорвет с кровати, чтобы заниматься тем, чем хотите!

Эпиграфом к курсу может стать африканская пословица: «Хочешь идти быстро, иди один. Хочешь идти далеко, идите вместе». Более точно и с юмором этот курс можно назвать аукционом репутаций. Приходите и попробуйте приобрести право на интересную вам область общения, труда, развития. \nКурс посвящен психологии признания (репутации, уважения, авторитета, первенства, компетентности). В понятной и доступной форме он интегрирует современные достижения в области психологии человеческого потенциала. Разумеется, не все достижения этой популярной и обширной области исследований. Некоторые результаты обобщались в предыдущих курсах этих же авторов: «Genius. Talent. Golden Mediocrity», «Психология призвания». \nНикому не хочется быть забытым, игнорируемым, низкооплачиваемым, ненужным. Всем хочется заслуженного признания и уверенности в обеспеченности своей жизни. Но не заблуждаемся ли мы в путях к своим мечтам? Целями нашего курса являются, во-первых, понимание феномена признания и горизонтов его воплощения: в сферах самоактуализации, самореализации, самовыражения и самозанятости; и, во-вторых, практика достижения признания  вашим индивидуальным решением, вашим личным результатом. \n\nКурс поможет сформировать коммуникативные компетенции (способность взаимодействовать в определенной области знаний и деятельностей). Вам буду предложены практики самоопределения в контексте достижения социального признания и формирования социального капитала.\nВ курсе рассматриваются следующие проблемные вопросы:\n- какова действительная и возможная область ваших персональных инициатив,\n- какие формы публичности (мероприятия, события, пространства) вам выгодны, а какие не желательны, \n- каким образом вы можете монетизировать ваш социальный капитал. \nРезультаты прохождения курса структурированы в итоговых заданиях: \n- регистрация в сообществах (авторитетных организациях); \n- принятие на себя инициативной ответственности, поддерживающей развитие почетного для вас сообщества. \n\nРезультаты обучения\nСлушатели смогут утвердиться или пересмотреть в сторону улучшения свои стратегии занятости и временной перспективы; пересмотреть в сторону большей аутентичности (подлинности) свой стиль работы, свои отношения с другими, стратегию развития своего дела, свою роль в организации и т.д.\n\nЦель данного курса \nДля слушателей:\nсоздание индивидуальной информационной среды признания и самозанятости посредством формирования личного социального капитала в выбранной сфере знаний. Курс посвящен задаче инициативного формирования «персонального коллективного мозга». Курс поможет научиться правильно контролировать свою индивидуальную вовлеченность в различных областях, создавать информационную безопасность в современном мире, характеризующемся неопределенностью в аспектах открытости и совместности. \n\nДля преподавателей:\nсоздание методической основы и информационной среды для международной программы по психологии признания и самозанятости, объединяющей людей из различных стран, занимающихся проблемой аутентичности, творческой жизни и управления талантами, а также изучение психологии активации (уровень личностной регуляции) деятельности, практических аспектов самоактуализации, самореализации, самовыражения, самозанятости - жизни с признанием.\n\nКурс включает 1 вводный и 4 основных модуля. Курс рассчитан на 4 недели обучения. Первый модуль вводный. В последующих четырёх модулях по две темы в каждом. В каждой теме лекции представлены в виде двух-трех видеороликов.\nКурс построен по методу «перевернутого урока». Видеолекции представляют собой установочные сообщения, слушателям предлагаются примеры и шаблоны для самостоятельной работы. Реальные действия и решения слушателей становятся предметом обсуждения на форуме. \nОбучение подразумевает самостоятельную работу над созданием своей персональной информационной среды не только во время прохождения курса, но и в долгосрочной перспективе.\n\nНеобходимые начальные условия\nУметь ставить задачи и искать пути их решения, читать общекультурные и специальные тексты, пользоваться современными информационными средствами, осваивать информационные технологии на уровне пользователя, пользоваться современными информационными средствами для уточнения незнакомых понятий и обеспечить себе пространство и время для выполнения практики признания и самозанятости.\n\nСертификат о прохождении данного курса дает дополнительные баллы при поступлении в магистратуру Национального исследовательского Томского государственного университета.

University of Pennsylvania

“It depends.” That is what you’ll hear when asking about the U.S. university admission process. With over 4,000 universities in the United States and no standard application system, the U.S. admission process can be confusing for everyone, but especially for students applying from other countries.\n\nThis course will help international students (non-U.S. citizens) and non-native English speakers navigate the U.S. university admission process by offering practical information about the documents and pieces that make up a U.S. university application. More importantly, admission officers will discuss how they use those pieces to decide who is accepted and who is denied, so that you can understand the process beyond the pieces.\n\nBy the end of this course, you will understand application basics that include researching schools, creating a school list, and establishing an application plan. This course will not answer all of your application questions, but it will teach you to ask the right questions of yourself and the universities. Ultimately, you will have all the information you need to start your process the right way, putting you on the path to acceptance.\n\n* Please note, while the English Language Programs are part of the University of Pennsylvania, this is not a course about applying to Penn. Furthermore, this course is intended for international students educated in the national curriculum of their country. While other students are welcome to enroll, the course is not intended for American students or students studying in an American, International Baccalaureate, or Advanced Placement curriculum. The course is also intended for students who do not have access to university counseling – if you attend a school that offers university counseling, your counselor is the best source of information on applying to university. Finally, this course is for undergraduate (Bachelors degree) freshmen (students who have not attended any university) applicants. Undergraduate transfer applicants, students who have attended a university, will find some of the information helpful, but graduate (Masters and Doctoral) applicants will not.

Creative Thinking: Techniques and Tools for Success

Imperial College London

In today’s ever-growing and changing world, being able to think creatively and innovatively are essential skills. It can sometimes be challenging to step back and reflect in an environment which is fast paced or when you are required to assimilate large amounts of information. Making sense of or communicating new ideas in an innovative and engaging way, approaching problems from fresh angles, and producing novel solutions are all traits which are highly sought after by employers.\n\nThis course will equip you with a ‘tool-box’, introducing you to a selection of behaviours and techniques that will augment your innate creativity. Some of the tools are suited to use on your own and others work well for a group, enabling you to leverage the power of several minds. You can pick and choose which of these tools or techniques suit your needs and interests, focusing on some or all of the selected approaches and in the order that fits best for you.\n\nThe practical approach of this course enables you to acquire an essential skill-set for generating ideas, with plenty of:\n- Fun e-tivities and exercises;\n- Practical lectures and tips;\n- Video representations of the techniques in action.\n\nBy the end of this course you should be able to:\n- Pick a type of brainstorming you think will be useful to apply to a challenge\n- Use alphabet brainstorming in tackling a challenge\n- Use grid brainstorming in tackling a challenge\n- Use a morphological chart to synthesise a solution to a challenge\n- Use the TRIZ contradiction matrix to identify recommended inventive principles\n- Apply SCAMPER to a range of challenges\n\nThe greatest innovators aren’t necessarily the people who have the most original idea. Often, they are people- or teams- that have harnessed their creativity to develop a new perspective or more effective way of communicating an idea. You can train your imagination to seize opportunities, break away from routine and habit, and tap into your natural creativity.\n\nJoin this course and our community of practitioners in CREATIVITY!

The Tinkering Fundamentals course will offer educators and enthusiasts an opportunity to develop a practice of tinkering and making. We see tinkering as a serious endeavor—one that is generalizable across content and especially good at interweaving disciplines in a way that leads to complex projects and individualized learning opportunities. Tinkering has recently been introduced into the educational field as a potential driver of creativity, excitement, and innovation in science learning. It is seen by many as an effective means to engage in exploring STEM concepts, practices and phenomena. Tinkering typically blends the high and low tech tools of science along with a strong aesthetic dimension that supports children’s (and adults) self expression.\n\nFor over a decade, the Exploratorium has been developing science-rich tinkering activities for both children and adults. We see tinkering as a fun yet serious endeavor—spanning many disciplines and content areas and fostering connections between art, science, and technology. Learners follow their own path to understanding by investigating tools and materials and exploring questions that interest them. This opens up a wide range of possible answers rather than any “right” one, particularly for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects in the classroom. This course centers on circuit-related activities, which offer a wealth of opportunities for thinking through making.\n\nIn this course, we won’t just show you how we develop tinkering activities; we’ll also delve into why. We’ll focus on three important aspects: activity design around specific materials, facilitation strategies, and environmental organization. We’ll also share some guiding principles and learning indicators we’ve developed that can help you integrate tinkering into your elementary and middle-school science program. Whether you’re new to making or a seasoned tinkerer, we hope this course will help you take the next step!\n\nOUR APPROACH TO TEACHING\n\nThis is a hands-on workshop, not a lecture-based class. Participation is essential! We want everyone to be making and tinkering together: trying things out, asking questions, sharing ideas, and reflecting together as a community. This is a wonderful chance to tinker and learn alongside people from all over the world and from all walks of life, so don’t be shy!\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Although this course will not have active instructor participation, we have put a great deal of effort towards creating a supportive space that encourages exploration. We’ll give you a few ways to get started; prompt you to share your own observations and experience as learners, designers and facilitators; and hopefully spark interesting conversations and discoveries along the way. While it’s not a requirement, we encourage you to take this class with a friend or colleague or meet with other people in your area: having support or doing activities with others will enhance your experience and help you stay engaged.\n\nREQUIRED COURSE MATERIALS\n\nYou will need several tools and materials to do weekly course activities. Pre-bundled materials are available from the Exploratorium store at www.artoftinkering.com. Please obtain all materials as soon as possible, well in advance of when you will need them in the course. Be sure to allow extra time for shipping and, if you are outside the U.S., for customs. In some cases, certain items may require assembly. Please refer to the Resources section to review this course’s activity guides.

Los continuos cambios tecnológicos, sobre todo en aquellos aspectos vinculados a las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) hacen que las personas tengan la necesidad de actualizarse de forma continua para que sus conocimientos no queden obsoletos. En este contexto, para las empresas se convierte en algo imprescindible disponer de profesionales que tengan las competencias necesarias para ejercer con éxito las actividades que requieren en su lugar de trabajo.\n\nEl curso, basado en las experiencias previas y el syllabus de ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence), nace con la voluntad de facilitar:\n- el desarrollo continuado de las personas en aquellas competencias vinculadas a las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación,\n- la inserción laboral y la renovación de las competencias tecnológicas de los estudiantes y de los profesionales.\n\nLos 3 cursos que ofrecemos bajo el título general “Competencias digitales” están destinados a personas sin conocimientos de ofimática o a personas con unas competencias digitales básicas y que deseen mejorar sus conocimientos de ofimática para ser más eficientes en sus estudios o en su trabajo, o bien quieran aumentar sus perspectivas laborales.\n\nEn este curso, trabajaremos 4 temas:\n- Conceptos.\n- Uso del sistema operativo.\n- Internet.\n- Seguridad informática.
