About the OpenFiction Project
The OpenFiction Project represents the conjunction of my two main professional interests--writing and open educational resources. I began teaching fiction after completing my MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College. Through that school's continuing education program, I first taught traditional classes, then designed and developed a distance learning introductory fiction class. This site contains the full set of materials I developed for that class.
I left Emerson to join MIT's unique OpenCourseWare project, where I have worked for the past several years. During the early part of my time with the project this courseware sat dormant on my home computer, before I decided to make it available openly in a fashion similar to MIT's OpenCourseWare.
Other than the coincidence of my working at MIT, however, OpenCourseWare project and the OpenFiction Project are not affiliated, and the OpenFiction Project is in no way affiliated with MIT or its Writing and Humanistic Studies Section. And while the courseware on this site was developed during my time at Emerson, and was used in classes taught there, it is owned entirely by me and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Emerson College Department of Writing Literature and Publishing or the Division of Continuing Education.
The original syllabus for the course, as well as additional information about the course, site and project, can be accessed through the links in the left margin.
