Hi Class,

I'm looking forward to our course together and getting to know you over the coming weeks.

Each week a new Module will open that contains links to our course content. It will include information on how to access required reading materials, quizzes, assignments, and even the power point materials we review for that chapter.

Next week we will begin our historical study. This class is an Open Educational Resource, or OER, class. That means you do not need to purchase a textbook. Instead we use one that is freely available or "open." The textbook we use is "World History: Cultures, States, and Societies to 1500" (2016). History Open Textbooks. 2. You can find out additional information about the textbook here.

We will use these resources or "Class Documents" in class this week to . You can re-review them throughout the semester using these links:
