History

Auto-assigned and graded activities hold students accountable for the material before class, increasing their effort and preparation.
Primary source-based activities encourage critical thinking.
Interactive maps provide practice interpreting this key historical medium.
Grades are automatically recorded and instructors can monitor class performance and individual student performance on a topic-by-topic basis.
Map, writing, and critical thinking tutorials guide students through the process of interpreting information and effectively communicating their ideas within the framework of the history discipline.
