We live in a highly interconnected world, where infectious diseases find opportunities to spread globally, like never before in the history of mankind. This raises new challenges in public health for epidemiologists, medical doctors and biologists alike, engaged in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Mathematical and computational models can contribute in this cross-disciplinary, concerted effort. They can make short-term predictions on how epidemics progress, help analyze scenarios on epidemic outcome and inform about the impact of public health interventions.
This MOOC is composed of 5 teaching chapters. Each chapter has 1 to 7 sequences. Each sequence consists of a video of about 10 minutes and a MCQ so that students can test their knowledge. The videos are in English with French and English subtitles.
