Survey course History 120
http://chnm.gmu.edu/history120/
These modules, designed for George Mason University's U.S. survey course History 120, offer relevant exercises that reinforce textbook readings and classroom discussion. They provide an alternate, often entertaining, way of investigating historical concepts and problems.
Divided into four chronological periods, these modules cover a variety of topics, including indentured servitude, runaway slaves, popular culture in the 19th century, and advertisements in the early 20th century.
These modules help students build their Information Technology (IT) proficiency. Students can learn to build and maintain web pages, complete online assignments, perform online research, and use technology in historical analysis.

Scribe : free note-taking program
http://chnm.gmu.edu/tools/scribe/
Scribe 2.5 is a free cross-platform note-taking program designed especially with historians in mind.
Think of it as the next step in the evolution of traditional 3x5 note cards. Scribe allows you to manage your research notes, quotes, thoughts, contacts, published and archival sources, digital images, outlines, timelines, and glossary entries. You can create, organize, index, search, link, and cross-reference your note and source cards.
You can assemble, print, and export bibliographies, copy formatted references to clipboard, and import sources from online catalogs. You can store entire articles, add extended comments on each card in a separate field, and find and highlight a particular word within a note or article. Scribe's uses range from an undergraduate history research seminar to a major archival research project.

Forums and History Teaching
Whatever the historical reasons for the limited use of the Internet for communicative purposes in learning, the advent of a new generation of forum software like this one (invision) means that many practical obstacles have been overcome.
Over the last 12-18 months there have been a number of experiments in using forums for student learning. The most notable example has been the History Help forum hosted on this website. What have we learnt from this experience?
