The human race has always been at war with bacteria, but the development of antibiotics in the 1930s and ’40s gave us the upper hand over the bugs that were killing us. Suddenly we were superhuman.

Monster mutants lurk in the myths of many cultures, and we’re fascinated yet fearful of nature’s mutants. But mutants are closer to home than we think. Often invisible, mutations are happening all around us, in every living thing.

Course description
The course will cover, at a basic level, building phylogenetic trees based on molecular sequence data. This will include the general context and uses of tree-building, choosing models of DNA and protein evolution, tree-building methods including distance, parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian MCMC, and confidence in results.
Target Audience
Reserchers at all levels, wishing to learn how to perform simple phylogenetic analyses, and build trees.
Course Pre-requisites
Basic computing skills, graduate level in Life Sciences

Using virtual badges as a reward for learning provides motivation, boosts confidence and provides supports for collaborative learning through positive social interactions.

Get recognition for learning that happens anywhere. Then share it in the places that matter.
Paula Iaeger PhD's comment,

This is one application of badges that cross generations and circumstances. When workers are offered recognition for the training they receive, there is a desire to know more. A simple certificate might help but a digital badge for its transportability is much better. In a classroom grades of course have their place but what I like is that the natural curiosity is rewarded when a badge is voluntarily pursued. Badges celebrate extra effort, not mediocrity and a just-get-by mentality.

Pedro Fernandes's insight:
Course description
In this two-day intermediate-level course we will cover the basics of analysing whole-genome shotgun metagenomics data generated from high-throughput sequencing instruments. This would interest those interested in taxonomic and functional characterisation of complex microbial communities from clinical or environmental samples. Topics covered will include design of sequencing experiments, quality control of data, de novo assembly and co-assembly, mapping reads to reference assemblies, contig clustering, whole-genome and haplotype reconstruction methods, taxonomic assignment of contigs, and cross-sample comparisons of microbial communities.
Target Audience
The course will suit those already familiar with bioinformatic analysis of microbial whole-genome sequences and/or 16S phylogenetic profiling who now wish to gain knowledge of new techniques for whole-genome metagenomic studies.
Course Pre-requisites
The course will be performed on Linux workstations and will feature a large hands-on component with real datasets, therefore knowledge of the UNIX command-line is essential, as well as familiarity with microbial genomics and ecology and a basic grasp of statistics.

What is the role of public and academic libraries in supporting MOOCs (maasive open online courses), or why would MOOCs need libraries?
There are multiple potential roles for libraries in the MOOC development, support, assessment, and preservation process, some of which have been more fully explored than others in the few months since Coursera and EdX began rolling out offerings.
One important role has to do with librarians helping faculty ensure the materials they use to create their MOOC presentations and readings are not going to get them or their institutions into trouble as far as copyright content is concerned.
Then there's another potential role for libraries to curate and preserve the user-generated content—student work—that is created during a MOOC.
The Library as Content Creator has received considerable attention in the OCLC symposium aside from the possibility of libraries offering MOOCs on research skills, such as how to navigate databases and recognize seminal articles.
