HIST131: US History, 1865 to the Present with Video Lectures and Online Quizzes

This project is an effort to redesign an introductory American history course in a way that focuses on skills and themes.  I hope that the video guides and the online quizzes, when combined with a more focused and limited use of the class textbook, and a greater emphasis on reading and discussing primary source documents in small groups, will help the students to engage more closely with the material, and lead them to become better historical thinkers.
