"Only in Malaysia" to be taught at Ohio University

I've been invited to take part in an upcoming Skype conference with the students (my first), which should be exciting especially since it'll take place 6:30 am Malaysia time! This way we can coordinate with their class time at Ohio University. (If only their class time was at 8am, it'd be 8 pm here, but with the little boys it won't be so quiet!)
This will be my second Ohio University connection. In December 2011, I was informed by Frederick Lewis, a professor of film/video at Ohio University that he and his students will be adapting my short story "Home for Hari Raya" into a film.
"Only in Malaysia" is now the eighth story from the collection, as far as I know, that has been taught at a university or private college in Malaysia or overseas. The others are: "Neighbours", "Smooth Stones", "Waiting", "Home for Hari Raya", "Mat Salleh", "On Fridays", "Symmetry". Then the collection was taught at USM in a "Singaporean and Malaysian Literature English" course at University Sains Malaysia.
"Neighbours" has also been taught in SPM Literature in Malaysia—and it just got a three year extension to 2014! A ninth story "Teh-O in KL" has been taught in high school in Canada, which I found out by accident years after it was already being taught. If you happen to know of others, please let me know.
