1. Programming in Lua

   Currently, many programming languages are concerned with how to help you write programs with hundreds of thousands of lines. For that, they offer you packages, namespaces, complex type systems, a myriad of constructions, and thousands of documentation pages to be studied.

   Lua does not try to help you write programs with hundreds of thousands of lines. Instead, Lua tries to help you solve your problem with only hundreds of lines, or even less. To achieve this aim, Lua relies on extensibility, like many other languages. Unlike most other languages, however, Lua is easily extended not only with software written in Lua itself, but also with software written in other languages, such as C and C++.

11. Assembly Language

    If you don't know assembly, you don't understand the machine you are programming. Most programmers today code in very high level languages which are VERY detached from the circuitry underneath. If you don't know assembly, you don't understand computers.

13. Art - from a philosophy viewpoint

    What is art? How is art used? How can art be used? How should art be used? Is there a difference between "good" and "bad" art?
    How does art affect reality? How far can art be political and how far should it be political?
    A lot of questions, a lot of different answers.
    Nuff said. :3

14. Collaborative Lesson Planning

    This course has educators share their lessons online and find collaboraters who will help them make their lessons better. This helps the educator and the entire Open Educational Resources community online by putting more materials out there, then showing how to not only use them, but improve upon them. This will be the third time the course is run in P2PU, we believe it'll be much better the third time around.

19. Political Violence Prevention

    Political violence is either the deliberate infliction or threat of infliction of physical injury or damage for political ends, or is violence which occurs unintentionally in the cause of severe political conflicts. Political violence is particularly difficult to classify and analyze because it frequently involves the interaction and effects of the actions of many persons and collectives, with widely different motivations and attitudes. Most like the political violence that we see now in Zambia serves both instrumental and expressive factions simultaneously . Almost invariably , the “price” of relaying a message of terror to a “ target audience ‘ is the death , injury or dispossession of victims whose rights and liberties have been arbitrarily curtailed by the perpetrators of violence.

20. Biomimicry

    What is Biomimicry?
    
    Biomimicry (from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems. Studying a leaf to invent a better solar cell is an example. I think of it as "innovation inspired by nature."

    The core idea is that nature, imaginative by necessity, has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the consummate engineers. They have found what works, what is appropriate, and most important, what lasts here on Earth. This is the real news of biomimicry: After 3.8 billion years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival.

    Like the viceroy butterfly imitating the monarch, we humans are imitating the best adapted organisms in our habitat. We are learning, for instance, how to harness energy like a leaf, grow food like a prairie, build ceramics like an abalone, self-medicate like a chimp, create color like a peacock, compute like a cell, and run a business like a hickory forest.

    The conscious emulation of life's genius is a survival strategy for the human race, a path to a sustainable future. The more our world functions like the natural world, the more likely we are to endure on this home that is ours, but not ours alone.

    Looking at Nature as Model, Measure, and Mentor

    If we want to consciously emulate nature's genius, we need to look at nature differently. In biomimicry, we look at nature as model, measure, and mentor.

    Nature as model: Biomimicry is a new science that studies nature’s models and then emulates these forms, process, systems, and strategies to solve human problems – sustainably. The Biomimicry Guild and its collaborators have developed a practical design tool, called the Biomimicry Design Spiral, for using nature as model.

    Nature as measure: Biomimicry uses an ecological standard to judge the sustainability of our innovations. After 3.8 billion years of evolution, nature has learned what works and what lasts. Nature as measure is captured in Life's Principles and is embedded in the evalute step of the Biomimicry Design Spiral.

    Nature as mentor: Biomimicry is a new way of viewing and valuing nature. It introduces an era based not on what we can extract from the natural world, but what we can learn from it.
