World History: Diverse Cultures and Global Connections

Catalog description

This is World History: Diverse Cultures and Global Connections. In this course, you will focus on three main topics — cultural and religious diversity; pandemics; and the relationship of empires and nation states — as well as the skills of identifying root causes, explaining causes and effects, and analyzing complex systems. This course consists of an introduction and four major sections. Each section includes learning opportunities through reading, images, videos, and other relevant resources. Assessment activities with feedback also provide opportunities to practice and check how well you understand the content. Because the course is self-paced, you may move through the material as quickly or as slowly as you need to, with the goal of demonstrating proficiency in the four competencies covered in the final assessment. If you have no prior knowledge of this material, you can expect to spend 30-40 hours on the course content.
