Digital History Reader
by knann
All modules will follow a similar design that includes: a statement of the module’s “objectives” and the historical questions students will be asked to consider; the “story” or context for the question with background historical information; an “archive” of documents with questions to guide students’ use of the documents; and a student assessment section that allows for student feedback and evaluates what students have learned.
The modules are designed for introductory level survey courses at colleges and universities and for advanced history courses at the secondary level.
