The AHA’s Remote Teaching Resources compiles materials and tools to help historians develop courses and teach remotely in online and hybrid environments.

Teaching is an essential skill for any historian, and the AHA works hard to produce resources for those teaching at all career stages and at all levels of history. Our Teaching and Learning video resources include workshops on K-12 and undergraduate teaching, reflections from historians on globalizing their US survey courses, and sessions on issues of vital importance to history education such as learning outcomes, dual enrollment, and the transition from high school to college.

The AHA is compiling a professionally vetted bibliography of historians’ responses to COVID-19 as a resource for the public, teachers, and scholars seeking historical perspectives on the current crisis and its local and global impacts. The bibliography includes commentary and publications by historians in both scholarly and popular periodical literature; recorded lectures and webcasts; and digitized primary source materials from past epidemics and pandemics. In amassing these references, the AHA seeks to provide a space where anyone, regardless of expertise, can find digital historical material relevant to the COVID-19 crisis. 

Perspectives on History provides a selection of articles offering best practices and support for historians teaching K-16. The articles feature both general reflections by teachers on online history education and specific examples of successful practices.

The AHA’s Online Teaching Forum was a series of virtual events designed to help historians plan for teaching in online and hybrid environments. For recordings of past Online Teaching Forum events, please visit the AHA's YouTube channel.
