Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Hawaii at Manoa/Imagining Other Worlds (Spring)

This course focuses on English literature in the Renaissance, attending to the the different ways this literature represents other words, both real and imagined. The wiki assignment takes place in the second half of the semester and involves students picking an author or text, doing research, and adding that research to the author or text's wiki page.
