| "Imparare il latino attraverso lo studio dei papiri" |
| "Se per l’Occidente mancano testimonianze che non siano quelle indirette di trattazioni specifiche come l’Institutio oratoria di Quintiliano, l’Oriente ha restituito una serie di testimoni diretti delle forme dell’insegnamento del latino,tra I a.C. e VI d.C.: favorita fondamentalmente dall’occupazione militare e dai bisogni dell’amministrazione per tutta la prima età imperiale, nelle province eccentriche dell’Impero, la circolazione del latino venne ulteriormente incentivata da una politica che lo identificava con la lingua dell’amministrazione (e del diritto) a partire dal III secolo. Continuo, infatti, è il contatto dei latinofoni con allofoni che, spesso, si misero alla prova con l’apprendimento della lingua di Roma. L’analisi delle testimonianze dirette della circolazione della lingua e della letteratura latina nella pars Orientis dell’Impero - sostanzialmente papiri, frammenti da volumina o codices di pergamena, tavolette ed ostraka - imporrà una riflessione, da un lato, su fenomeni complessi quali quello del bilinguismo (latino-greco) e della diglossia e, dall’altro, sulle forme in cui il latino venne percepito ed insegnato come Lingua2 tra Antichità e Tarda Antichità. Although there is very little direct evidence about the way Latin was taught in the West, only indirect accounts like Quintilian’s Institutio Oratoria, a series of first-hand accounts exist from the East, highlighting the way Latin was taught between I BC and VI AD. Encouraged by the military occupation and the needs of the administration during the first Imperial Age, Latin spread to outlying areas of the Empire. Latin use became even more popular from the III century AD onwards when the policy was to use Latin for all administration and legal purposes. There was continual contact between Latin speakers and speakers of other languages, and they often tried to learn the language of Rome. First-hand accounts of the spread of Latin language and literature in the Eastern Roman Empire (the so-called pars Orientis) – basically fragments of papyrus or parchment rolls and/or codices, wooden tablets and potsherds - make us reflect on complex phenomena like bilingualism (Latin-Greek) and diglossia, and about the way Latin was perceived and taught as a Second-Language (L2) between Antiquity and Late Antiquity."

| "Il potere dei sondaggi" |
| "I sondaggi sono diventati un elemento centrale della cassetta degli attrezzi degli attori della politica e dell'informazione. Questo corso offre un viaggio all'interno del mondo dei sondaggi, nel modo in cui sono stati usati nel tempo, per riscoprire il loro valore principale di strumento della democrazia e per eliminare i rischi di un utilizzo distorto dei sondaggi. Gli insuccessi incassati negli ultimi anni dagli exit polls hanno contribuito a rilanciare il dibattito sull’attendibilità e l’utilità dello strumento sondaggistico. Il corso si propone di mettere ordine nella discussione, chiarendo, in particolare: cosa è un sondaggio e cosa non lo è; quali sono le modalità di realizzazione dei sondaggi e le problematiche ad esse connesse; quali sfide sono messe in campo dalla diffusione delle nuove tecnologie dell'informazione; in che misura i cambiamenti in atto nel quadro politico e nella composizione dell'elettorato condizionano il lavoro dell'analista dell'opinione pubblica; in che modo si può ragionare sull'uso pubblico dei sondaggi d'opinione; quali sono i rischi reali della sondocrazia e quali le potenzialità legate all'uso governativo dei sondaggi. The power of opinion polls Opinion polls play a central role in politics and information. This course explores the world of opinion polls and how they are used, to discover their value as tools for democracy and to reduce the risk of survey results being wrongly used. Failure on the part of exit polls in recent elections has contributed to renewed debate on their reliability and usefulness. This course aims to shed light on this debate, explaining, in particular: what a poll is, and what it is not how opinion polls are carried out what the related problems and issues are what are the main challenges posed by new information technologies to what extent do current changes in the political environment and in the composition of the electorate affect the work of public opinion analysts what are the main issues surrounding the use of opinion polls what are the real risks and potential benefits related to the use of opinion polls at the level of government"

| "日式经营管理 Japanese Business Management" |
| "The Japanese economy was once described as the “rising sun,” overcoming all odds to become an economic superpower. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, many of the largest companies in the world with the highest capitalization were Japanese. Often, the key to Japan's success was attributed to its unique business model, strategies and practices. However, Japan no longer enjoys strong growth. Since the infamous “burst of the bubble”, Japanese companies have slipped from dominance and lost their competitive edge to companies in America, China and other regions. Japan's once highly acclaimed business management has been critiqued, judged, and brought into question. Japan is now in a transitional phase. Some companies are cementing their traditional business practices, others are transforming their strategies entirely, while still others are unsure how to adapt to the new times. This course is essential for anyone aiming to be a global leader. It helps them understand the basics of Japanese business, Japan's rise (including its successes and failures), and allows them to see future potential. The course takes a holistic approach. It looks not only at strategy and practices, but also at the entire management ecosystem. It explores factors ranging from socioeconomic to international interventions that helped shape Japanese corporate culture, strategy and vision. This course has been designed to give future leaders the right mindset to be a global leader. Learners study various corporate philosophies and case studies to see firsthand the benefits - and limitations - of Japanese business management. 日本的经济曾被描述为“初升的太阳”。日本克服了一切困难，成为了经济超级大国。在20世纪80年代末和90年代初，世界上许多拥有最高资本总额的大型公司都是日本的。通常而言，日本成功的关键在于其独特的商业模式、战略和实践。 然而，日本不再享有强劲增长。自臭名昭着的“泡沫破灭”以来，日本公司已经脱离了主导地位，失去了对美国、中国和其他地区公司的竞争优势。日本曾经备受推崇的企业管理受到批评、审视和质疑。 日本现在处于过渡阶段。一些公司正在巩固其传统的经营实践，一些公司正在彻底改变其战略，而另一些公司则不确定如何适应新的时代。 想要成为全球性领导者的人不可错过本课程。它将帮助您了解日式经营的基础知识以及日本的崛起（包括其成功和失败），并让您看到未来的潜力。 本课程采用全观法，不仅关注战略与实践，还关注整个管理生态系统。它探讨了从社会经济到国际干预的各种因素，这些因素促进了日本企业文化、战略和未来视野的形成。 本课程旨在为未来的领导者提供成为全球性领导者的正确思维模式。学员将学习各种企业理念和案例研究，以便直接了解日式经营管理的优势（和局限）。"

| "Exploring Sustainable Development" |
| "Have you ever wondered why there is such a focus on Sustainable Development in the public debate today? In this course you will be introduced to the concept of sustainable development and how it has evolved to what it currently means, a holistic ongoing process to tackle the environmental, social and economic challenges of human development. Sustainable development is more important than ever, not the least, for problem solvers aimed at creating sustainable solutions at the workplace and in society. You will learn about key concepts describing sustainable development, such as the three pillars, and different indicators for sustainable development. You will be introduced to the underlying reasons behind the environmental challenges that we face today, for instance climate change and ocean acidification. Throughout the course, different frameworks to describe sustainable development will be discussed, including normative approaches. This is the first of three courses about sustainable development for problem solvers from KTH, Royal Institute of Technology. Each of the three courses can be taken separately and provide knowledge on how to act, think and approach development in society and for the industry that meets the needs of the present without compromising future generations ability to meet their needs. In the second course, Sustainable Development: Solutions and Trends we go further into solutions to combat environmental challenges such as smart urban metabolism and the sharing economy. In the third course, Enforcing Sustainable Development , we look at what influences current sustainability actions and how people can change via education, and how regulations affect more sustainable behaviours. Situated in Stockholm, Sweden, KTH drives world leading research in sustainability, and offers education for students and staff to ensure that all graduates, as well as the organisation continue to enforce sustainable development. In these courses you meet a multidisciplinary team of teachers and researchers in the forefront of finding solutions for sustainable development. This course is relevant to professionals working in industry, policymakers, or students in engineering, as well as problem solvers in society at large."

| "Culture and Law: The East Asian Perspective" |
| "In most Western cultures, personal identification is based on the individual, whereas in East Asia, the family registry system has been used to identify individuals. “Confucianism” is one of the common ethical values in East Asia. Confucian values place much emphasis on an individual’s moral obligation to family members. In this course, we will cover three themes. We will begin with identifying how Confucian moral and legal reasoning have evolved and the unique aspect of the role of apology in East Asia. The course also introduces the notion of Legal Orientalism and argues against the theory by presenting cases related to the advanced notion of anticipatory repudiation in China, a transfer pricing case in Japan, and Inter-Korea business law in Korea. Students and researchers interested in an introduction to East Asian societies, conflict resolution, negotiation studies, as well as contemporary legal cases in Japan, South Korea, and China are welcomed to join the course and discussions."

| "Robotics Foundation II - Robot Control" |
| "Robotics is commonly defined as the study of the intelligent connection between perception and action. As such, the full scope of robotics lies at the intersection of mechanics, electronics, signal processing, control engineering, computing, and mathematical modeling. Within this very broad framework, modeling and control play a basic role - not only in the traditional context of industrial robotics, but also for the advanced applications of field and service robots, which have attracted increasing interest from the research community in the last twenty years. Robotics foundations are dealt with in this two-part course. The second part covers planning and control. Suitable interpolation techniques are presented to plan trajectories in either joint or operational space. For controlling a robot in the free space, motion control strategies can be either decentralized or centralized. The former leads to independent joint control which treats nonlinear dynamic couplings as disturbance, while the latter is based on the robot dynamic model. PD control with gravity compensation and inverse dynamics control are presented. Operational space control is then introduced as a premise to controlling a robot interacting with the environment. Both indirect and direct force control schemes are developed for constrained motion control. The visual servoing approach is adopted to integrate information about the objects present in the scene into the control loop, where the resulting schemes can be of three types: position-based, image-based, or hybrid. The last part of the course is devoted to mobile robots. Kinematic models of simple vehicles are presented, along with trajectory planning methods which have to properly account for the nonholonomic constraints. The motion control problem is tackled with reference to the trajectory tracking task. Odometric localization techniques are finally presented for practical implementation of feedback control schemes."

| "Behavioural Economics in Action" |
| "How can we get people to save more money, eat healthy foods, engage in healthy behaviors, and make better choices in general? There has been a lot written about the fact that human beings do not process information and make decisions in an optimal fashion. This course builds on much of the fascinating work in the area of behavioral economics and allows learners to develop a hands-on approach by understanding its methods and more importantly, how it can be harnessed by suitably designing contexts to “nudge” choice. In three modules, learners will be able to a) explain and interpret the principles underlying decision-making and compare the nudging approach to other methods of behavior change, b) learn how to critique, design and interpret the results of experiments; and c) design nudges and decision-tools to help people make better decisions. Understanding experimental design and interpretation is central to your ability to use behavioral economics effectively, and will set you apart from people who merely know about the behavioral results. After the first two weeks learning the basic principles, we will devote two weeks to studying experimental design and analysis, and the final two weeks to understanding processes for designing nudges and for helping people make better decisions. You will also witness and participate in weekly topical debates on various topics like “does irrationality impact welfare?” or “what strategy is better for improving welfare – nudging or education?” Several leading scholars, policy makers, business people, authors and commentators will briefly join our debate and discussion sections. These guest lecturers include Professor Sendhil Mullainathan (University of Chicago), Professor John Lynch (University of Colorado), Rory Sutherland (Ogilvy Group), Owain Service (formerly Behavioural Insights Team, UK Cabinet Office), Shankar Vedantam (NPR Columnist and Author – The Hidden Brain), Professors Andrew Ching, Avi Goldfarb (University of Toronto), Nina Mazar (BostonU), Itamar Simonson (Stanford) and many others! This course was originally developed in 2013, and the field has changed over the past 7 years. That said, a) the course provides foundational content that is still very relevant, and b) the material has been updated over the years to capture newer developments. The course will conclude with a summary of the newest developments in the field, and will provide links to resources that learners could access for continued learning. BE101x will be in self-paced format; learners are invited to work through the materials and assessments at their own convenience. The content is based on work done at the University of Toronto’s BEAR centre."

| "Japanese Books: From Manuscript to Print" |
| "Module 1: Books, Scrolls, and Religious Devotion This unit offers special access to a unique group of books and scrolls and sacred objects once interred inside a thirteenth-century Buddhist sculpture of Prince Shotoku, now in the collection of the Harvard Art Museums. The works to be studied represent the most prevalent formats of Japanese books, but they display striking material idiosyncrasies that will help us understand how and why manuscripts were made, and how they could be personalized for individual readers, motivated, in this case, by religious devotion. Module 2: Visual and Textual Storytelling: Short-Story Scrolls Enter into the storyworlds of two lively illustrated Japanese tales, The Tale of the Rat (Nezumi sôshi) and The Chrysanthemum Spirit (Kiku no sei monogatari) in the Harvard Art Museums. Both tales are illustrated in the “small scroll” ( ko-e ) format, roughly half the size of standard scrolls, resembling medieval paperbacks, and intended for personal reading and private libraries. This unit focuses on reading experience, exploring the interrelationship between word and image, and explaining how literary and pictorial conventions work together to communicate a story. Module 3: “Multimedia” Books: The Tale of Genji Japan’s most celebrated work of fiction, The Tale of Genji , has been continuously read from the time it appeared in the eleventh-century to the present day and provides a perfect case study for exploring various book formats over the centuries in Japan. Using decorated manuscripts, richly illustrated albums, and a playful printed book of a Genji spin-off, A Fraudulent Murasaki’s Rustic Genji (Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji), this unit showcases the spectacular visual and material properties of Genji volumes that make them suggestive of “multimedia” books."

| "Contract Law: From Trust to Promise to Contract" |
| "Learn about contracts from Harvard Law Professor Charles Fried, one of the world's leading authorities on contract law. Contracts are promises that the law will enforce. But when will the law refuse to honor a promise? What happens when one party does not hold to their part of the deal? This version of the course adds new units on Interpretation, Agency, Partnerships, Corporations, and Government Regulation. We are exposed to contracts in all areas of our life -- agreeing to terms when downloading a new computer program, hiring a contractor to repair a leaking roof, and even ordering a meal at a restaurant. Knowing the principles of contracts is not just a skill needed by lawyers, it illuminates for everyone a crucial institution that we use all the time and generally take for granted. This contract law course, with new materials and updated case examples, is designed to introduce the range of issues that arise when entering and enforcing contracts. It will provide an introduction to what a contract is and also analyze the purpose and significance of contracts. Then, it will discuss the intent to create legal relations, legality and morality, and the distinction between gifts and bargains. The course also investigates common pitfalls: one-sided promises, mistake, fraud, and frustration. With the knowledge of what makes contracts and how they can go wrong, Professor Fried will discuss remedies and specific performance. Finally, Professor Fried will introduce how contracts can create rights for third parties. The course's instructor, Charles Fried, has been teaching at Harvard Law School for more than 50 years and has written extensively on contracts. Not only is Professor Fried a leading authority on contract law, but he also utilizes a story-telling approach to explaining the topic, which creates a unique and interesting class experience."

| "Due to recent developments, we had to postpone production of this course. However we do plan to offer this course at some point. The start date of 1 January, is just a fictive start date and we are working on finding a new start date. Please enroll in this course if you’d like to receive an email when we have more information. You can always switch sessions or un-enroll if needed. Climate change, global warming, extreme weather, a rising sea level; we all hear and see the results of climate change in the daily news. But that’s not all, it’s becoming visible in our own environment and day to day life. Climate change is a growing challenge for the survival of life and mankind on earth. Tourism – in all its forms - is contributing substantially to global warming and climate- and ecosystem changes. Given the fact that international tourism is growing exponentially, there are serious concerns about its contributions to global climate change. We know that this growth will lead to short- and long-term effects for life on earth. For instance, numerous island destinations are becoming flooded. At the same time, we can see how other places are gradually turning into deserts. And if tourism will grow as it does today, we expect it to be solely responsible for an increase of 1,5-2 percent on planet earth by 2070. It is likely that something must change, or that we have to rethink the very ways in which people experience travel in the future. In this online course we address the key challenges that tourism is facing in context of drastic climate change-, mitigation and adaptation challenges. By joining this MOOC you will also gain insights about your personal position and attitude towards - what we frame as - a climate change emergency. You can enrol in a free audit track or upgrade to a verified certificate. If you upgrade to a verified certificate you will get an additional opportunity to position yourself in relation to diverse debates concerning climate change and (calculate) your own travel footprint. You will also engage with fellow learners in (re-)modelling various adaptation and mitigation challenges. These exercises will help you to get a better understanding and reflection of what is at stake and how we may further engage with future tourism issues. The MOOC ends with a range of potential future scenarios of tourism in context of climate change but will also invite you to vote how this course can further develop in the coming years. On basis of this joint decision making, the teaching staff will further equip the content of this course to best address emergent challenges and need for further action. Join and support the successful tourism team at Wageningen University & Research by enrolling in this MOOC and in taking up this climate change challenge towards a more sustainable tourism of tomorrow! Professional Certificate in Sustainable Tourism If you find this MOOC interesting we recommend you to also take a look at our Professional Certificate Programme Sustainable Tourism.

| "Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python" |
| "This course is the first of a two-course sequence: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python, and Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science. Together, they are designed to help people with no prior exposure to computer science or programming learn to think computationally and write programs to tackle useful problems. Some of the people taking the two courses will use them as a stepping stone to more advanced computer science courses, but for many it will be their first and last computer science courses. This run features lecture videos, lecture exercises, and problem sets using Python 3.5. Even if you previously took the course with Python 2.7, you will be able to easily transition to Python 3.5 in future courses, or enroll now to refresh your learning. Since these courses may be the only formal computer science courses many of the students take, we have chosen to focus on breadth rather than depth. The goal is to provide students with a brief introduction to many topics so they will have an idea of what is possible when they need to think about how to use computation to accomplish some goal later in their career. That said, they are not ""computation appreciation"" courses. They are challenging and rigorous courses in which the students spend a lot of time and effort learning to bend the computer to their will."

| "LaTeX for Students, Engineers, and Scientists" |
| "LaTeX, a document preparation system, is widely used for publishing in many scientific fields like mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, chemistry, physics, economics, linguistics, etc.. It is a powerful and open-source system that provides numerous facilities for automating typesetting of the document: i.e. structuring page layout, listing and auto-numbering of sections, tables, figures, generating a table of contents, managing cross-referencing, citing, and indexing. Unlike other WYSIWYG editors, the content is written in plain text along with appropriate commands, thus, allowing the user to concentrate on the content rather than the aesthetics (the way it looks). The TeX typesetting program which LaTeX uses, was designed such that anyone can create good quality material with less efforts. This course introduces the basic concepts of LaTeX. Participants taking this course will be able to create and design documents in LaTeX and presentations in Beamer with confidence."

| "Sparse Representations in Signal and Image Processing: Fundamentals" |
| "This course introduces the fundamentals of the field of sparse representations, starting with its theoretical concepts, and systematically presenting its key achievements. We will touch on theory and numerical algorithms. Modeling data is the way we - scientists - believe that information should be explained and handled. Indeed, models play a central role in practically every task in signal and image processing. Sparse representation theory puts forward an emerging, highly effective, and universal such model. Its core idea is the description of the data as a linear combination of few building blocks - atoms - taken from a pre-defined dictionary of such fundamental elements. A series of theoretical problems arise in deploying this seemingly simple model to data sources, leading to fascinating new results in linear algebra, approximation theory, optimization, and machine learning. In this course you will learn of these achievements, which serve as the foundations for a revolution that took place in signal and image processing in recent years."
