Computational Thinking with JavaScript 2: Model & Analyse (Coursera)

Offered by University of Glasgow,

This is the second course in a sequence of four courses that develops essential 21st century computational thinking (CT) skills using the popular JavaScript programming language. At the end of this second course you will: know a framework for CT to help you model the real world using abstract data structures; have developing CT skills so that you can perform common data analytics tasks; be able to read and write programs in JavaScript that involve processing, analysing and visualizing data, using a specialised library; and post your creations on the web to share your code with others.

This course is suitable for: learners who have taken the first course in this specialization 'Computational Thinking in JavaScript 1: Draw and Animate' or for those who have basic JavaScript skills and want to learn about simple data analytics.
Course 2 of 4 in the [Computational Thinking with JavaScript Specialization]().

What You Will Learn
Learners will discover how to process, analyse and visualize data using simple JavaScript libraries and data structures.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Sequences of Data
We introduce the array data structure in JavaScript, which is used to represent an ordered sequence of data values.

WEEK 2
Objects Everywhere
We introduce JavaScript objects, which are named collections of values, used to model real-world entities.

WEEK 3
Nested Data Structures
Data structures can be embedded inside other data structures, to model more complex real-world entities.

WEEK 4
Integrative Coding Project
We integrate the various concepts we have introduced throughout this course, to build a data processing system to cluster data into similar groups

How do gamers cause things to happen when they hit buttons on their controller? How does the computer keep track of gamer's scores? This class teaches the concepts of nested loops, events, and variables. For each concept, we'll start by helping you connect real-world experiences you are already familiar with to the programming concept you are about to learn. Next, through a cognitively scaffolded process we'll engage you in developing your fluency with problem solving with nested loops, events, and variables in a way that keeps frustration at a minimum.

If you have ever used a navigation service to find optimal route and estimate time to destination, you've used algorithms on graphs. Graphs arise in various real-world situations as there are road networks, computer networks and, most recently, social networks! If you're looking for the fastest time to get to work, cheapest way to connect set of computers into a network or efficient algorithm to automatically find communities and opinion leaders in Facebook, you're going to work with graphs and algorithms on graphs.

World and internet is full of textual information. We search for information using textual queries, we read websites, books, e-mails. All those are strings from the point of view of computer science. To make sense of all that information and make search efficient, search engines use many string algorithms. Moreover, the emerging field of personalized medicine uses many search algorithms to find disease-causing mutations in the human genome.

In this final course, we'll look at the JavaScript language and how it supports the Object-Oriented pattern, with a focus on the unique aspects of JavaScript's approach to OO. We'll provide an introduction to the jQuery library, which is widely used for in-browser manipulation of the Document Object Model (DOM) and event handling. You'll also learn about JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which is commonly used as a syntax to exchange data between code running on the server (i.e., in Django) and code running in the browser (JavaScript/jQuery).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Education for Teachers (Coursera)

Education Social Sciences

Today’s learners need to know what artificial intelligence (AI) is, how it works, how to use it in their everyday lives, and how it could potentially be used in their future. Using AI requires skills and values which extend far beyond simply having knowledge about coding and technology. This course is designed by teachers, for teachers, and will bridge the gap between commonly held beliefs about AI, and what it really is. AI can be embedded into all areas of the school curriculum and this course will show you how. This course will appeal to teachers who want to increase their general understanding of AI, including why it is important for learners; and/or to those who want to embed AI into their teaching practice and their students’ learning.

If you want to take your website to the next level, the ability to incorporate interactivity is a must. But adding some of these types of capabilities requires a stronger programming language than HTML5 or CSS3, and JavaScript can provide just what you need. With just a basic understanding of the language, you can create a page that will react to common events such as page loads, mouse clicks & movements, and even keyboard input.
