Online Teaching: Practice and Resources

Sources Designed for Teaching

The History Courseware Cornsortium
aka TLTP History. Twelve Core Resource modules developed for U.K. higher education.
 
Valley of the Shadow
Two communities and the American Civil War. This is an excellent model online learning environment with a generous body of sources and clear navigation.
 
Exploring Ancient World Cultures
An undergraduate textbook online. In addition to texts and introductory essays the site includes a discussion list and quizzes.
 
Internet Sourcebook Series
Source collections desgined with teaching in mind and organised thematically. Originally based on digitisations of copyright free undergraduate sourcebooks but now include links to many full electronic texts across the internet. The collections are mainly primary sources but there are also links to relevant secondary material and related web sites. As a teaching resource the editor has endeavoured to ensure the texts are of a suitable academic standard. The collection currently includes:
 
Interactive Teaching Resources from H-Net
A collection of links to online courses and resources from US colleges and universities. Organised into subject areas the links offer a glimpse into online and computer-supported teaching in the US (although some of the sites for past courses have fallen in disrepair)
 

Teaching Online

History Online
A new initiative from the Technology-Assisted Lifelong Learning programme and Oxford University Department for Continuing Education. Makes continuing education courses available as a series of online units. Databases for Historians is the first offering and is open to the public.
 
Index of Art History Courses on the Web
Provides an extensive listing of courses with some presence on the web.  Saddly many offer merely syllabi, reading lists, etc., but that do use the Web to make available to students images, texts, and computer mediated conferencing.  There are even a few courses that are run online. 
The index provides a brief note on the content of each site and warnings if access is restricted.  Online courses and the best sites are flagged.
 

Student Projects

The Cube of World History
Student projects within a world civilization course at Woodbury University in Burbank, California.  The site also includes other materials to support the course.  A working paper, Matter, Method, and Machine, on this initiative is available from the online Journal of the Association for History and Computing.
