In this online training course I transformed a face to face class into a an online course. This wiki has information on World war which was derived from Youtube.2 .

The syllabus is an adaptation of concepts normally taught in the Community Colleges in Jamaica.The aim of the wiki is to have a central place for my advanced level history students in The Caribbean to refer to.There is a narrated (narrated by me) powerpoint that walks students through the causes of the American Revolution.Information presented in this course is appropriately referenced.Thank you http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=620120 In this course, the student will study the emergence of the major civilizations of the ancient world, beginning with the Paleolithic Era (about 2.5 million years ago) and finishing with the end of the Middle Ages in fifteenth century A.D. The student will pay special attention to how societies evolved across this expanse of time—from fragmented and primitive agricultural communities to more advanced and consolidated civilizations. By the end of the course, the student will possess a thorough understanding of important overarching social, political, religious, and economic themes in the ancient world, ranging from the emergence of Confucian philosophy in Asia to the fall of imperial Rome.

(History 221) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=663514 ״Despite the supposedly homogenizing effects of globalization, people continue to be joined together and divided asunder by the languages they speak, the religions they follow, and the ethnic identities to which they belong. Such cultural features all have specific geographies, tied to particular places. But while cultural-geographical terms such as “the Arabic world” and “the Islamic world” are used ubiquitously, many people remain uncertain where such “worlds” are and how they differ from each other. The purpose of this map-intensive course is to explore the locational dynamics of the world’s languages, religions, and ethnic groupings. We will examine every world region, seeking to understand how places vary from each other with regard to the cultural attributes of their inhabitants. The course will explore the historical forces that have generated cultural diversity, and will carefully examine the processes of contemporary transformation. This course is presented in enhanced podcast format: the presentation images are synched with the audio track and will display in the album artwork section of your iTunes application.
