Subject: Shakespeare MOOC through University of Wisconsin Madison
My colleagues, Professor Jesse Stommel, Catherine DeRose, Sarah Marty, and I have set up a Shakespeare MOOC that runs from 23 April through 22 May 2015. The University of Wisconsin Madison is sponsoring the course, which is on the Coursera platform. We are discussing four plays, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado about Nothing, and The Tempest. People can register for the course, Shakespeare in Community, at www.coursera.org As always, the course is free and does not carry college credit.
We have about 16,000 participants so far and the discussion forums are involving a lot of people world-wide.
