| **World Christianity MSc course
| |
| ***In September 2016, Dr Alex Chow, Lecturer in Theology and World Christianity, will run an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_Edinburgh/Selected_Themes_in_World_Christianity_(Autumn_2016) 11 week Wikipedia assignment] as part of the [http://www.ed.ac.uk/divinity/studying/graduate-school/postgraduate-taught/world-christianity World Christianity MSc]. The class is known ''Selected Themes in the Study of World Christianity'' (WRCH11018). This core course offers candidates the opportunity to study in depth Christian history, thought and practice in and from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Primary attention is given to methods for the study of indigenous forms and expressions of Christianity, to issues of culture and gender, and the changing patterns of relationship between Christianity in the West and other parts of the world. Issues of religious pluralism feature significantly in terms of the interaction between Christianity and other religious traditions. The assignment counts towards 10% of the final assessment.

| **Undergraduate English Literature Course: Global Modernisms: Inter/National Responses to Modernity (ENLI10369)
| |
| ***In November 2015, Anouk Lang, lecturer in English and Digital Humanities, tasked her 4th year undergraduate students on the [http://www.drps.ed.ac.uk/16-17/dpt/cxenli10369.htm Global Modernisms module] to research and write a Wikipedia article on a novel completely unrepresented on Wikipedia with the outcome being a previously unpublished article: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversations_in_Bloomsbury Conversations in Bloomsbury], a 1981 memoir that depicts writer Mulk Raj Anand’s life in London during the heyday of the Bloomsbury Group, and his relationships with the group’s members. Anouk reported that the collaborative process engaged her students, and some students in particular who had perhaps been more reticent (or less confident) in participating in more traditional assignments, in researching the topic & in applying the digital literacy skills required to achieve the page’s creation. The net result is not an essay or report that could potentially be filed away & forgotten but instead something that adds to the sum of human knowledge & is discoverable by other readers & editors all over the world so that they, in turn, can add more to it.
