History Gateways
The American Historical Association (AHA) has received a $1.65 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to partner with the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education and 11 institutional partners to lead “History Gateways,” an evaluation and substantial revision of introductory college-level history courses to better serve students from all backgrounds and align more effectively with the future needs of a complex society.

Annual Texas Conference on Introductory History Courses
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.
Resources from the conference, including recordings of presentations, discussions and recommended readings, are available here.
Online Teaching Resources
As institutions transitioned to online instruction in the face of COVID-19, many historians were faced with the challenge of what it means to teach history online. The AHA developed resources to assist historians and teachers with online teaching, many of which can also be used for developing in-person courses. From assessing assignments, to supporting your faculty and students, to promoting student engagement, the AHA is here to help.
