Feedback : A Powerful Tool for Efficiency and Effectiveness (edX)

Feedback : A Powerful Tool for Efficiency and Effectiveness (edX)

In most of the studies and literature on Organisational Behaviour, little has been said or written about feedback and its powerful impact. Because of its evaluative and corrective nature, it has a strong impact on the receiver's thoughts. There are two sides to every feedback situation: the giver and the receiver. It is critical to both give and receive feedback in order to improve and employee’s and a team's performance. When administered correctly, it has a significant influence.

Giving constructive and effective feedback is a skill that a leader should possess. The feedback should be methodical and actionable. It is giver’s ability and skill that makes a feedback acceptable and influential. It should be delivered in a way that encourages the receiver t> accept and improve the performance without any confusion and anger.
Receiving feedback, on the other hand, helps an individual to improve if accepted it in the right spirit. Every person in an organization should be aware of the importance of feedback. It is a skill that every team leader should master and put into practice. Receiving feedback demands some skills, a positive mindset, and a willingness to change. Receiving feedback is an attitude and a skill worth developing.

Firm Level Economics: Markets and Allocations (Coursera)

In this class, we will derive equilibrium outcomes across a variety of market structures. We will begin by understanding equilibrium under a market structure called Perfect Competition, a benchmark construction. Economists have tools to measure the efficiency of market outcomes. We next consider the polar extreme of a competitive market: a monopoly market. We will determine the monopoly equilibrium price and quantity and efficiency properties. Much economic activity takes place in markets with just a handful of very large producers.

e-Learning Ecologies: Innovative Approaches to Teaching and Learning for the Digital Age (Coursera)

For three decades and longer we have heard educators and technologists making a case for the transformative power of technology in learning. However, despite the rhetoric, in many ways and at most institutional sites, education is still relatively untouched by technology. Even when technologies are introduced, the changes sometimes seem insignificant and the results seem disappointing. If the print textbook is replaced by an e-book, do the social relations of knowledge and learning necessarily change at all or for the better?
