The focus of our History courses is to help students develop the critical analysis tools to be able to identify misinformation online. By

We use AI to write a personalized, RPG-style story starter for students, featuring a character they guide through the time period being studied. Students critically analyze historical documents, and the content of their research is then used by the AI to incorporate into the next parts of the story.

By separating the research from the story, students familiarize themselves with both the power and foibles of working with AI, while also learning the same critical analysis tools taught at Universities, giving them an unparalleled ability to identify online misinformation and stay safe in an increasingly demanding cognitive ecosystem.

Historical Thinking Concepts

The course is structured around the "Big Six" historical thinking concepts:

  • Historical Significance
  • Evidence
  • Continuity and Change
  • Cause and Consequence
  • Historical Perspective
  • The Ethical Dimension

By applying these concepts to their story, students learn to think like historians. They analyze why events happened, whose voices are missing, and how the past shapes the present.

High-Trust, No-Stress Exams

Exams are a critical part of earning credits, but they shouldn't be a source of panic. We have redesigned the proctored exam experience from the ground up to respect students' schedules, energy, and comfort, while maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity.

One Answer at a Time

Instead of staring at a massive, overwhelming exam paper, students write and finalize exactly one answer at a time. This keeps focus sharp and anxiety low.

  • Focus entirely on the active task without cognitive overload.
  • No scrolling back and forth or second-guessing past work.
  • Clean, minimalist workspace designed for deep focus.

Breaks Between Questions

Exams don't have to be a grueling multi-hour marathon. Students can complete a question, upload the proctoring segment, securely save it, and exit to take a break.

  • Take breaks between questions to rest your mind and stretch.
  • Your completed answers are locked and saved immutably.
  • Close your browser and resume writing whenever you are ready.

Student-Led Proctoring

No high-stress live proctors watching your screen or tracking your eye movements. We use verification-based camera recording that students control.

  • Start over any time if they don't like how it's going.
  • No invasive browser extensions or software takeovers.
  • Continue recording in a single stream or upload per question.
