Improve your reasoning and critical thinking skills
Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking: This course series improves your ability to identify, analyze, and evaluate arguments by other people (including politicians, used car salesmen, and teachers). You’ll also be able to construct arguments of your own in order to convince others — and yourself. You’ll be introduced to general standards of good reasoning and tools to improve your critical thinking skills.
Develop solutions to climate change with your community
Community-Based Climate Change Solutions: Climate change will have tremendous impacts on every human community across the globe. However, there is no one-size fits all solution. This course will teach you the basic principles needed to identify the dynamics and needs of a community, build on its strengths, and adopt best practices and practical frameworks for adapting climate change solutions to local contexts.
Work smarter, not harder, with AI
AI for Productivity: Learn to use tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini to automate tasks, streamline workflows, and create effective content. No prior experience is required, and you will finish the course ready to build AI-driven workflows that save time.
Understand how contemporary art and culture intersect
Art of the MOOC - Art, Culture, and Society: How are art and contemporary culture connected? What is the overlap between art and social change? Art may be timeless, but it is also current. Whether you are an artist wanting to connect with society at large, a curator seeking new ways to frame your practice, or someone who has no background in art but has always wanted to understand it better, these courses are a fun and reliable way to get there.
