This course gives you an overview of the current opportunities and the omnipresent reach of computational social science. The results are all around us, every day, reaching from the services provided by the world’s most valuable companies, over the hidden influence of governmental agencies, to the power of social and political movements. All of them study human behavior in order to shape it. In short, all of them do social science by computational means.

4 horas para completar
Computational Social Science (CSS)
In this module, you will be able to examine the history and current challenges faced by social science through the digital revolution. You will be able to discuss the mystery at the core of society: social emergence. You will be able to recall the fundamental building blocks of the scientific method and how they apply to the new computational tools we now have available. You will be able to defend what people mean when they say that ‘social studies’ are currently maturing to become a ‘real science’.

Examples of CSS: Social Networks and Computer Simulations
In this module, you will be able to discover how social networks and human dynamics create systems that are larger than you and me: social systems. You will be able to discuss how social networks and human dynamics follow recognizable patterns. You will be able to identify how social network analysis and computer simulations are currently quite successful in untangling some of the mysteries of social emergence.

Although I felt the course could have had more meat, the content was pretty good.
por DL23 de ago. de 2021
Good overview of computational social science concepts and serves to ignite interest in this exciting field.
por MM30 de jun. de 2020
Excellent course for beginners, or those curious to learn more on computational social sciences that don't have a strong technical background.
por MS15 de ago. de 2020
It really helped me in finding that how many things can I do with social data and what new problems can be solved with social networks
