Thanks to a grant from the Gary Klinsky Foundation, we are building a new online course for Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition at
edx.org. You can read more about the foundation here:

We've completed the videos, which are now being edited. Here's a sneak peek behind the scenes:

In The Telling: The Transmedia Studio.
In the course, we'll be reading
Frankenstein, Dracula, various poems, and the plays
Midsummer Night's Dream and
Cyrano de Bergerac. Check back to see progress on the course.
