"Teaching and Learning History Online: A Guide for College Instructors offers everything a new online history instructor needs in one package, including how to structure courses, integrate multimedia, and manage and grade discussions, as well as advice for department chairs on curriculum management, student advising, and more.
In today’s technological society, online courses are quickly becoming the new normal in terms of collegiate instruction, providing the ideal environment to ""flip the classroom"" and encourage students to hone critical thinking skills by engaging deeply with historical sources. While much of the attention in online teaching focuses on STEM, business, and education courses, online history courses have also proven consistently popular. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, new history instructors are rushed into online teaching with little or no training or experience, creating a need for a guide to ease the transition from classroom to online course development and teaching.
A timely text, this book aims to provide both new and experienced college history teachers the information they need to develop dynamic online courses."
