Believe it or not, rickster, it is not your links that are faulty.  I tried and failed.  Then I went to www.corsera.org and ended up on the exact same page you were posting. Yet I arrived there only by typing in the link by hand. Wierd!  Heigh ho just one more bit of modern technology to mystify the technophobe.

So, without using the hyperlink, here is the course itself:
https://class.coursera.org/epidemics-002

and here is the syllabus:
https://class.coursera.org/epidemics-002/wiki/syllabus

the orientation:
https://class.coursera.org/epidemics-002/wiki/Orientation

and saving the best for last the mock epidemic game:
https://www.moocdemic.com/
 
Sorry to make people cut and paste but the links failed for me.

On which note here is the page with technical help links:
