Information technology and the teaching of history

This volume shows how information technology is bringing about changes in the way history is taught and learned.

The international selection of the contributions shows that these phenomena are not restricted to just one country.

The impact of information technology on history curricula is explored in depth in one section of the book, while other sections focus on classroom activities and issues, on the development of software for history, and on the relevance of current information technology developments.

But the question which lies at the heart of it all remains that of how information technology can ehance the teacher's ability to offer situations in which learners can form and develop a real understanding of the nature of historical processes and the ways in which they can be studied.
