Wesleyan Launches First-Ever Creative Writing Specialization on Coursera

' src=

Wesleyan will present the first-ever creative writing specialization on the Coursera platform, beginning Feb. 9. Taught by four award-winning authors, the specialization is open to anyone with a love of reading or a drive to invent a story or tell their own.

Titled “Creative Writing: The Craft of Story,” the specialization will include four courses, plus a capstone. The courses are:

  • The Craft of Plot , taught by Brando Skyhorse, visiting assistant professor of creative writing in English
  • The Craft of Setting and Description , taught by Amity Gaige
  • The Craft of Character , taught by Amy Bloom, distinguished university writer-in-residence, director of the Shapiro Center for Creative Writing
  • The Craft of Style , taught by Salvatore Scibona, the Frank B. Weeks Visiting Assistant Professor of English
  • (Capstone) Crafting Your Story , taught by Scibona.

The first MOOC launches Feb. 9, with subsequent courses starting every week after that.

Learners may view lectures in each MOOC, with the exception of the capstone, for free, or they may pay to access assignments and peer review aspects of the courses. Passing all assignments unlocks the capstone course, which grants learners a certificate of completion.

“We’re very excited to present this first-of-its-kind specialization on creative writing,” said Jennifer Curran, director of Continuing Studies and the Graduate Liberal Studies Program. “So many people have a story to tell—whether fictional or taken from life—and this specialization will empower them to do so in a way that will absorb a reader’s attention from the beginning and hold it through the end. It’s an amazing opportunity to learn from some of the country’s best contemporary writers, and share work with fellow learners from around the world.”

Writing completed by learners as part of the course will be evaluated and given feedback through an online peer review system. Instructors will provide a clear rubric for students to assess each other’s success in achieving the goals of an assignment.

Three of the top-performing students in the specialization will receive a prize: free tuition, room and board to the Wesleyan Writer’s Conference, which is celebrating its 60 th year in June. Upon completion of their first assignment, all learners will receive an 80 percent discount on a suite of writing software courtesy of Write Brothers.

Maurice Isserman

Hamilton college professor of history.

Maurice Isserman received a B.A. in history from Reed College in 1973 and his Ph.D. in American history from the University of Rochester in 1979. Before coming to Hamilton College in 1990 as an assistant professor in the Department of History, he taught at Oberlin, Smith, Mount Holyoke and Williams Colleges. He is a past holder the William R. Kenan and the James L. Ferguson chairs at Hamilton, and is currently the Publius Virgilius Rogers professor of history. During his time at Hamilton he has been awarded a year-long Mellon fellowship at Harvard University, and the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in American history at Moscow State University in Russia. He has also done academic exchanges at the University of Sussex and Pembroke College, Oxford University. Professor Isserman’s regular course offerings at Hamilton include surveys in US history, courses on post-World War II and Sixties America, and an “adventure writing” course for first year students that combines outdoor adventures in the Adirondacks with writing instruction. In the spring of 2011 he introduced a new course on the history of the American Civil War, and in the fall of that year a new research seminar on the history of Hamilton College. In the three decades since receiving his Ph.D, Professor Isserman has published an average of two scholarly works every decade. His first book, based on his doctoral dissertation, was Which Side Were You On? The American Communist Party During the Second World War , published by Wesleyan University Press in 1982. His second book, If I Had a Hammer: The Death of the Old Left and the Birth of the New Left, was published by Basic Books in 1987. His third book, California Red: The Life of Dorothy Healey , co-authored with Ms. Healey, was published by Oxford University Press in 1990. In 2000 he had two books come out, the first, co-authored with Michael Kazin and published by Oxford University Press, America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s , and the second, The Other American: The Life of Michael Harrington , published by Public Affairs Press. 2008 saw the publication of Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Mountaineering to the Age of Extremes , co-authored with Stewart Weaver and published by Yale University Press. All of these books have been well received critically, and have attracted both an academic and a popular readership. His first six books were all reprinted in paperback editions; one of them, America Divided, is in its fourth revised edition from Oxford University Press and has become the standard text for course adoption in college and university courses on the 1960s.  Fallen Giants , was the subject of rave reviews in the Sunday New York Times Book Review and the Times in London. It was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and is the recipient of the 2008 Banff Book Festival award for best mountaineering history, and the 2008 National Outdoor Book Award for history. In addition, Isserman has published a half dozen histories for secondary school readers, on topics ranging from the Vietnam War to the African-American Great Migration to the Lewis and Clark expedition. In addition to his scholarly and secondary school books, Isserman regularly publishes op-eds, essays, and book reviews in such prominent national publications as The New York Times , the Nation , and The Chronicle of Higher Education . Professor Isserman's most recent book is On the Hill:  A Bicentennial History of Hamilton College , published in the fall of 2011.

technical writing in 11 reviews

It's an amazing begin for peoples that need to have a first contact with the technical writing.

I enjoyed learning technical writing course from Coursera.

The entire "first week" is background information about the university and instructors, along with a short animation related to technical writing with no commentary that seems like it was made to be inserted into a video but was uploaded alone instead.

You can skip straight to Week 2 "Characteristics of Technical Writing" and not be any worse off for it.

", could've easily been combined with the course information in a text document or with "Characteristics of Technical Writing" for a more robust understanding of what technical writers do and how it relates to their writing.)

For how much the course tries to impress that technical writing should be clear, concise, and well-presented, it fails in nearly all of those aspects.It's not unwatchable and there's solid information to be found, but those are only part of what makes a quality educational video.

Great course and got great insights about Technical Writing.

Adding some Technical Writing Tools would have been even nicer.

This course was a great opportunity to learn the pros and cons of technical writing.

This course is very helpful for developing technical writing skill.

Is a product description an example of marketing or technical writing?

I think the information you learn about the reasons for technical writing as well as the types, and intricate parts of a body of work are valuable information.

This course is a great gateway to the world of technical writing.

The course was very well structured... a perfect balance between theoretical and practical aspects of Technical Writing.
