If Shakespeare had a podcast or a vodcast, this is what
it might be like!
That could be the course description for EMU's newest
offering — Shakespeare Online.
 |
TO BE ONLINE: Shakespeare
Online, Eastern
Michigan
University's newest course
offering,
will be taught during
winter term by Craig Dionne,
an
EMU professor of literature. |
"Students will have the opportunity to learn about Shakespeare's
life and times while reading his plays at their own pace
in the context of a mixed-media online platform that includes
lectures on his writing, video clips from different film
productions, and links to resources important to understanding
the printed versions of his works," said Craig Dionne,
professor of literature at EMU.
The Literature 210 Introduction to Shakespeare course,
which begins this winter, is being offered through EMU's
Continuing Education online services. It is one of many
courses offered through the English language and literature
department at EMU (http://www.emich.edu/english/).
"It is designed to be entertaining," said Dionne, who
has been preparing the project for the past year. "We have
been teaching Shakespeare as part of the general education
requirement for several years, but this is the first time
we are offering it online."
"This is not just reading text. It's a lot more involved
and engaging. It's interactive and I'm looking forward
to teaching the course," said Dionne, who has been at EMU
for 15 years.
