History Comes Alive

Imagine a course in which history is taught through a series of historical units which

• present the textual information in a clear, intelligent, and informative manner,
• provide the instructor with the ability to give the classroom lecture in a compelling visual fashion which attracts the students' attention and enhances their understanding, and
• reinforce the concepts taught in class through computerized laboratory sessions giving each student the ability to experiment with every concept covered in class in a hands-on fashion.

Exactly such a course, the result of over a decade of research and development, is currently being taught to students in the Western Civilization classes at an accelerated university-affiliated high school in Urbana, Illinois.

The intellectual effects on the students are nothing less than astounding.
