Problem
Traditional online history courses often lack immersive context and can present information with a singular perspective, limiting students' ability to develop critical historical analysis skills. This approach can hinder the development of nuanced understanding and the ability to evaluate diverse sources effectively.

The curriculum emphasizes developing historical literacy by teaching students to analyze primary and secondary sources, identify bias, and weigh evidence. Courses are structured with guided notes and assessments to support learning, offering flexibility for students to engage at their own pace and depth. This methodology aims to cultivate critical thinking and a more comprehensive understanding of historical narratives.
