Well my wife found this and is signing up for the SciFi dicussion. Now if they could offer her some “Shakespeare” and “Contemporary Fashion” courses she’d be in academic heaven.

click the linkage --> Coursera Fantasy/Scifi at Ann Arbor.

To quote the faq of the site:
"Coursera offers … high quality courses from the top universities, for free to everyone. We currently host courses from Princeton University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and University of Pennsylvania. We are changing the face of education globally, and we invite you to join us. "

I know, I know … some pretty sketchy looking “safety schools” ( Berkeley? … really?) but it might be worth a look :slight_smile:

hi all,

coursera has some cool new upcoming courses, “Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind; Our Modern World” as well as “Online Games: Literature, New Media and Narrative”.

This would be a cool community effort if a bunch of us signed up.

I’ve been really strongly considering Ball State’s Gender Through Comic Books course. I’ve been researching it for a few weeks now and it looks pretty legit.
