What kind of learning should an introductory history course entail in the 21st century? How can introductory history courses support student learning and success across the curriculum?  Since 2015, the AHA and local partners have held a two-day conference on college-level introductory history courses to address these and other questions. To learn more about the AHA's work on introductory history courses, check out the AHA's Tuning Project, a nationwide, faculty-led project to articulate the disciplinary core of historical study, and the AHA's newest teaching and learning initiative, History Gateways, an evaluation and substantial revision of introductory college-level history courses. Resources from the conference, including recordings of presentations, discussions and recommended readings, are available online. 

For questions and feedback, please contact AHA Special Projects Coordinator Julia Brookins (jbrookins@historians.org). For a broader discussion of these and other teaching and learning issues in history, please join the Teaching and Learning community on communities.historians.org.
