Sustainability through Soccer: Systems-Thinking in Action
by Leidy Klotz- 3.8
Approx. 10 hours to complete
This course takes learners on a journey through a progression of systems-thinking and sustainability concepts. Using the beautiful game of soccer (also known as football in many parts of the world) as an analogy, we'll work together to illuminate real-world interdependencies (such as between climate change and human rights), building the chain of concepts in a fun, accessible way....
What is Climate Change?
by Joseph Casola- 4.9
Approx. 6 hours to complete
In this course, learners will become familiar with the scientific evidence that demonstrates human-caused climate change. We will explore how greenhouse gases cause the Earth to warm, and why our recent warming is attributed to human activities. We will also discuss where our climate is headed, including anticipated future temperature, precipitation, and sea level....
Basics of thermodynamics
by Rasul Abdullaev , Leonid Braginsky , Arthur Pogosov- 0.0
Approx. 7 hours to complete
Our course on the basics of thermodynamics targeting a wide audience includes only what is absolutely necessary, focusing on the most basic issues, excluding less important specialized topics. However, you will learn about unusual phenomena such as stretched liquid and see interesting experiments. So, it may be of interest even to those who have already studied thermodynamics....
Introduction to Acoustics (Part 2)
by Yang-Hann Kim- 4.7
Approx. 13 hours to complete
Learners might have learned the basic concepts of the acoustics from the ‘Introduction to Acoustics (Part 1). ’ Now it is time to apply to the real situation and develop their own acoustical application. Learners will analyze the radiation, scattering, and diffraction phenomenon with the Kirchhoff –Helmholtz Equation. INTRODUCTION Introduction Course Overview...
