MOOCs are massive open online courses that are free, web-based programs designed for large numbers of geographically dispersed students. The term MOOC was coined in 2008 and attracted millions of learners worldwide. MOOCs involve universities putting short courses online for anyone to take for free. They aim to keep universities on the leading edge of learning and teaching technology through blending videos and media with opportunities for students studying the same course to connect. The document discusses the author's interest in a MOOC on economics and finance, and topics like what makes a good economist and tackling the world economy.Presented by ida maseko

MOOCs began developing in the early 2000s with the theory of connectivism and the first MOOC in 2008 had over 2,000 learners. In 2012, some significant developments occurred including a Harvard MOOC with over 370,000 registered students and the launch of Coursera offering xMOOCs. By 2013, there were too many cMOOCs and xMOOCs to accurately count as the concept continued rapidly expanding.Dineo (2)

A MOOC is a massive open online course that is accessible to unlimited participants worldwide via the internet. MOOCs allow for open sharing of videos, readings, and online activities between participants. The first MOOC was created in 2008 and used various online platforms to engage students in discussions about its topic from around the world. There are two main types of MOOCs: xMOOCs which are led by a single instructor and focus on sharing ideas, and cMOOCs where learners control their own learning goals and progress without formal assessment.Opener 4 the world is open

MOOCs are massive open online courses that provide free online learning materials to large numbers of students. The term was coined in 2008 by Dave Cormier when he and others offered the first MOOC through the University of Manitoba. While MOOCs allow widespread access to education, they also face challenges like high dropout rates and student distraction. MOOCs cover a variety of topics from languages and computer skills to sciences and business. The document discusses a MOOC in first aid training of interest to the author for their work in education.Lerato desiree ntsimane

What is MOOC?
The term ＾MOOC￣ (Massive Open Online Course) was coined by David Cormier in 2008 (Cormier & Siemens, 2010) to describe a twelve-week online course, Connectivism and Connected Knowledge, designed by George Siemens and Stephen Downes and offered at the University of Manitoba, Canada, in Fall semester 2008.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are courses provided over the Internet. They are provided free of charge to a large number of people and are accessed by the user logging into a website and signing up. MOOCs differ from traditional university studies, firstly by their open access. As a point of departure, participation merely requires an Internet connection. Secondly, MOOCs are characterized by scalability; the courses are organized so that they can easily be scaled in line with the number of participants.

?
Protein degradation via ubiquitous pathway In general science, a ubiquitous pathway refers to a biochemical or metabolic pathway that is:
1. *Widely present*: Found in many different organisms, tissues, or cells.
2. *Conserved*: Remains relatively unchanged across different species or contexts.
Examples of ubiquitous pathways include:
1. *Glycolysis*: The process of breaking down glucose for energy, found in nearly all living organisms.
2. *Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)*: A key metabolic pathway involved in energy production, present in many cells.
3. *Pentose phosphate pathway*: A metabolic pathway involved in energy production and antioxidant defenses, found in many organisms.
These pathways are essential for life and have been conserved across evolution, highlighting their importance for cellular function and survival.

Rytis Jurkonis from Kaunas University of Technology (Lithuania) presented their recent work entitled ＾Automating Compression Ultrasonography of Human Thigh Tissue and Vessels via Strain Estimation." Rytis presented on the methodology along the novel wearable hardware developed to automate compression ultrasonography for DVT detection in the lower limbs. In addition, preliminary results were shared, highlighting the feasibility of an operator-independent method to perform compression ultrasonography.
Presented at BIOSTEC 2025 in Porto, Portugal.
About ThrombUS+: Our interdisciplinary approach centers around creating a novel wearable diagnostic device utilizing autonomous, AI-driven DVT detection. This groundbreaking device incorporates wearable ultrasound hardware, impedance plethysmography, and light reflection rheography for early clot detection. ThrombUS+ is designed for postoperative patients, those undergoing lengthy surgical procedures, cancer patients, bedridden individuals at home or in care units, and women during pregnancy and postpartum.Respiration & Gas Exchange | Cambridge IGCSE Biology

Detection of ferrihydrite in Martian red dust records ancient cold and wet co...S└rgio Sacani

Iron oxide-hydroxide minerals in Martian dust provide crucial insights into
Mars¨ past climate and habitability. Previous studies attributed Mars¨ red color
to anhydrous hematite formed through recent weathering. Here, we show that
poorly crystalline ferrihydrite (Fe5O8H ， nH2O) is the dominant iron oxidebearing phase in Martian dust, based on combined analyses of orbital, in-situ,
and laboratory visible near-infrared spectra. Spectroscopic analyses indicate
that a hyperfine mixture of ferrihydrite, basalt and sulfate best matches Martian dust observations. Through laboratory experiments and kinetic calculations, we demonstrate that ferrihydrite remains stable under present-day
Martian conditions, preserving its poorly crystalline structure. The persistence
of ferrihydrite suggests it formed during a cold, wet period on early Mars
under oxidative conditions, followed by a transition to the current hyper-arid
environment. This finding challenges previous models of continuous dry oxidation and indicates that ancient Mars experienced aqueous alteration before
transitioning to its current desert state.(Journal Club) Focused ultrasound excites neurons via mechanosensitive calciu...
