Art is one of the most powerful modes of expression, storytelling, and the sharing of information that we have as humans--especially in earlier historical periods. This textbook empowers students to learn about premodern history through art. In Each piece of the 50 artworks in this book, arranged geographically and chronologically, will be used to teach the reader one seminal fact about the history of the time and place from which it comes. Our art pieces will unlock truths about our human past in terms of economics and trade, technological advancements and access to natural and other resources, the development of artistic styles and ideas, religion and ritual, lived experience and everyday life, gender and sexuality, and so much more. And anyone can "read" art. In terms of learning how to “read” art, each piece will include a number of interactive questions designed to encourage you to look at and see the art more deeply, notice its details, begin to build a vocabulary of color theory, symbol, and iconography, analyze it historically, and—most importantly of all—respond to it emotionally. Art is emotion. Art is made by humans just like us, to communicate messages of emotional expression to other humans. In Learning Premodern History Through Art, you are invited to allow art to speak to you across space and time.

Online Teaching and Learning: Course Design Basics provides resources for designing an online course. It contains materials carefully selected to aid in online teaching and learning educational endeavors.

The Spring 2023 issue presents research and guidance on topics related to student self-reflection, participatory learning, and returning to the in-person learning following the COVID-19 pandemic. The first article takes a critical approach to understanding pedagogy with adult learners by involving students in the creation of course syllabi as a way to challenge ideologies related the roles of instructor and students. The second article blends research and narrative to explore how the experiences of the COVID-19 shift to online learning can be translated to in-person learning environments to redefine what participation looks like and to advance faculty collaboration. The third article continues to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic can lead to opportunities for improved course development and delivery as faculty and students return to the classroom, particularly in the areas of communication, equity, and inclusion. The fourth article presents a selection of prompts used to promote student learning through written reflection tasks and describes how such tasks can be applied to various teaching contexts. The fifth article describes the use of a digital poverty simulation with business students and examines how the activity affected the students’ attitudes toward poverty.
