The boundaries between education and
entertainment are beginning to blur, and a new type
of learning, in which education merges with
entertainment, is emerging – ‘edutainment’. 21
But now US television company AMC has teamed
up with the University of California to produce an
online course based on the TV show, The Walking
Dead, which features apost-apocalyptic world ridden
with zombies.

With an audience of 10 million, student numbers for

the course are expected to be in the hundreds of
thousands. 22

Academics from the University of California say that

the online course will be a ‘legitimate educational
experience’ and tackle serious issues from the fields
of science, public health, nutrition, psychology and
sociology. 23
However, students will gain no formal qualifications
or credits on successful completion of the course.
24
It insisted that all modules had been made
as academically rigorous as those taught on the
university grounds. One lecturer in social science
stated that the university already used contemporary
media examples to make theories more relevant to
students, and this course was merely taking this
concept one step further. ‘The curriculum is very
real,’ says Josh Coates, head of Infrastructure and
designer of the online platform. 25
‘The fact that the context is this fictional world of an
apocalypse is incidental. This course gives us the
opportunity to educate people about the science of
disasters.’

The market for massive open online courses, or

MOOCs, is rapidly expanding. 26 However,
millions fail to complete the courses, suggesting that
they pose a real challenge to online learners. Part of
this experiment is to find out whether the power of
television can reduce the high drop-out rate
characteristic of MOOCS.

2

A We have local apocalypses in our
world today, in the form of
earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist
attacks.
B TV shows have long launched
spin-off products in the form of
merchandise and video games.
The university is taking this opportunity to hone the
way it delivers online courses. 27 With the
increasing demand for online courses, these are
issues that universities looking to invest in online
learning are increasingly having to face.

C If successful, the edutainment

experiment could spawn a huge
range of other TV show/university
hybrid courses.

D Until now, online learning

experiences have been able to
deliver great videos and quizzes, but
student interaction was minimal and
the experience for learners has been
impersonal.

E Experts from the Centre for

Education and Employment have
reservations about the value of such
online courses where there is no
formal assessment or contact
between the students and those
delivering the courses.

F The course will consist of eight

modules including a physics module
on ‘the science of decay’, a public
health module on the study of
epidemics and a mathematics
module on population dynamics.

G The University of California, which

has a huge reputation to uphold, said
that there had been no dumbing
down in the design of the course.

H Millions of students sign up for

online education courses each year.
