This course covers the foundations of solar power and how they apply to solar panel system installations. You'll learn how to compare solar energy to other energy sources and how photovoltaics, or solar panels, turn sunlight into electricity. You'll be able to identify the major components of a basic photovoltaic (solar panel) system, such as one that's found on a house or building, and describe what each one does. You'll also learn how to determine a building's electrical consumption, minimize the overall demand, and construct a solar panel system to satisfy that annual need at a specific site.

You'll also evaluate the various pricing schemes in use and significant regulatory considerations for grid-connected systems (where a house or building is connected to the electrical grid and also generates electricity from solar panels). A capstone design project that includes a simple audit of a building to assess demand, as well as a component selection to construct a solar panel system to match that demand.

The goal of this MOOC is to deconstruct research and research methodology. It will cover the principles of conducting research, with a focus on postgraduate students, but not entirely. It prioritizes the student experience by involving students in a variety of vigorous and demanding conversations and activities that reflect SOAS, University of London's reputation as a research-intensive university with a rich research history.

The course will appeal to those of you who need a better understanding of research methods and abilities, as well as the capacity to apply them in your studies or careers. This course will benefit those of you who are required to perform research as part of your postgraduate studies but do not have access to research methods courses, or who believe they would benefit from additional self-improvement help. This course requires no prior knowledge or expertise in research, and it is therefore open to anyone.

This MOOC is based on a variety of current course content designed to assist research training at SOAS, University of London, with a focus on the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD). For its innovative approach to online learning, the course was nominated for the coveted Guardian University Award in 2015.

This online course will not provide academic credit for University of London programs if you participate or complete it.

Introduction to Sustainability offered by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the Online Courses to Learn Physical Science and Engineering, introduces the academic concept of sustainability and investigates how today's human cultures can adapt to global change, environmental deterioration, and resource scarcity. Population, ecosystems, global change, energy, agriculture, water, environmental economics and policy, ethics, and cultural history are all covered in this course.

This topic is crucial because it aims to unearth the principles that will ensure the long-term well-being of all peoples on the globe. This foundation requires intellectual breadth because sustainability is a cross-disciplinary field of study: understanding our motivations necessitates knowledge of the humanities, measuring the challenges of sustainability necessitates knowledge of the sciences (both natural and social), and building solutions necessitates technical insight into systems (such as provided by engineering, planning, and management).
