MOOCs, an innovative alternative to teach first aid and emergency treatment: A practical study.

The fast and constant evolution of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has gained the attention of the educational community, achieving widespread popularity among many universities. However, there is very little research on the use and acceptance of MOOCs by students in disciplines such as health and medicine. The principal focus of this study is to explore the behavior of students from a MOOC on Health Emergencies, analyzing the completion and drop-out rates.

Studying the complex expression dependences between sets of coexpressed genes.

Organisms simplify the orchestration of gene expression by coregulating genes whose products function together in the cell. The use of clustering methods to obtain sets of coexpressed genes from expression arrays is very common; nevertheless there are no appropriate tools to study the expression networks among these sets of coexpressed genes. The aim of the developed tools is to allow studying the complex expression dependences that exist between sets of coexpressed genes.
