The Master’s University revealed that is exploring possible options for distance learning in the Fall Semester. “Obviously, we all want to come back to campus, and as of right now that is the plan,” said Mitch Hopewell in an email sent to students this week. “However, in the event that restrictions are not lifted, we have found the next best alternative to in person learning: Fortnite.”
We sat down with Harry Walls and got the inside scoop on the new changes to the learning curriculum. “In collaboration with APEX Games, we will now offer most of our courses via Fortnite servers. Faculty will be able to speak with student’s via headsets while hunting them down with advanced weaponry on a new Island.”
The new digital Island will feature familiar and beloved locations from around campus for students to gather and snipe each other, such as ‘The Cross’, ‘Under the Oaks’, and even ‘Homeless Encampment’. “We’ve designed this place to offer everything our campus has, and more,” said Walls while throwing a grenade at a Dixon girl.

The distance learning platform will offer such options such as downloadable skins, to make yourself look like John MacArthur, Abner Chou, Sam Horn, or a plethora of other characters. New weapons will be available also, such as ‘JMAC Study Bible Launcher,’ which shoots a beam of pure spiritual conviction straight into another user’s character, or ‘DTR Grenade’, which functions as an insta-kill.
“It’s so immersive,” said a student who tested the new platform. “Microsoft Teams has nothing on this. I really feel like I’m there. Me and my dorm mates set up a match, and it just transformed into a Bible Study. Someone bought the bonus pack with virtual guitars and we were able to have a worship night last week.”
Faculty have found the transition beneficial as well. We spoke with Esther Chua, head of the English Department, to gain her insights on the new platform.
“DIE NOOBS,” yelled Chua, mercilessly gunning down a few of her students hiding in bushes. “Oh, what do I think of it? It’s the best thing we’ve ever had. If we do come back in the Fall, I’m still teaching through this. Not a lot of instruction goes on to be honest, but in between matches we talk about books and other stuff.”
The school is working with APEX Games to create an IBEX server, with the entire nation of Israel recreated in digital form. Check back with the Meandering Mustang for more updates regarding TMU Fornite.
