Unusual online courses

I found some unusual online studies as:

Jedi Training:

Queen’s University in Belfast offers an open learning course into the ‘Jedi Way’ from Star Wars. Essentially, this involves a course that includes tongue in cheek instructions on how to use the philosophical teachings of the Star Wars films as practical psychology. Other parts of the course also use Star Wars as a gateway to discussing themes of identity, and social and cultural meaning of empire and the relationship between fathers and sons.

Zombie Studies

The University of Baltimore has built a whole module around how to deal with a zombie apocalypse. Mixing quasi-practical modules with a thorough education in zombie films, television shows and literature with creative script writing and art, zombies are used as a metaphor and inspiration for project planning and cultural study. At least, that’s what the course seems to be doing.
