The general structure or mechanics of the course is heavily focused around a line of questioning - the Historical Inquiry Model - that categorises questions into "Definitions", "Sources", "Backgrounds, Causes & Motives", "Effects & Arguments" and "Reflectiions". Using a line of questioning to guide the learning maintains an acute focus on the subject, categorises the learning into easily retained chunks and deepens the students' historical understanding by providing an environment where they must analyse and evaluate historical evidence to arrive at conclusions not always clear.
Historical stimulus, activities and provocative discussion forums are available here for students to interact with. There are opportunities here for self-study and collaborative/cooperative study, utilising the benefits of peer and teacher feedback for learning.
Be inquisitive, cooperative and discussive... It's the key to lifelong learning!
