Contribution to Project Woruldhorde

I have recently contributed a course plan to Project Woruldhord. This project, administered through Oxford University enables participants to share materials or the teaching of Old English. My course Old English in Middle-earth was created as an online resource for the Tolkien Society's Education web pages and has since been chosen as the project Editor's Pick which is posted each week at http://blogs.oucs.ox.ac.uk/whordeditor/.
