Course
Introduction
The Danger of a Single Story
This assignment invites you to critically engage with the complexities of historical narratives and the consequences of learning history through a singular perspective. Reflecting on the video, “The Danger of a Single Story,” you will explore how the conventional approach of teaching history as a set of names and dates oversimplifies and homogenizes historical events. The assignment highlights the importance of recognizing the diverse interpretations that historians bring to the study of history, emphasizing that history is not a monolithic account but a collection of varying perspectives and analyses.
You will examine the evolution of historical scholarship, noting how shifts in demographics and ideologies have led to more nuanced understandings of past events. By analyzing examples of historical misrepresentations and current controversies in textbook content, you will consider the implications of a singular historical narrative on societal beliefs and interactions. The goal is to enhance your skills in critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and understanding of historiography, while reflecting on your own responsibility in shaping and interpreting historical narratives.
Videography
Everyone knows good design when they see it, but coming up with great ideas can only be done with someone with a great eye for design. Take some time to browse our film portfolio. Get in

information as possible so we can start working together right away.

PRESHOW WELCOME
EQUITY RICHLAND

Participants are often bored, wondering what they should be doing as they wait for programming to begin. Our pre-show videos have taken this wasted time and turned it on its head. Chock full of music, imagery, film clips and factoids, our pre-show menageries are guaranteed to engage your audiences and set the stage, environment and mood for any event.
Assessment 101
Dallas College
Designed specifically for the history faculty of Dallas College, this video highlights the significance of core objective assessment in relation to maintaining accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS). Recognizing that conversations about accreditation can often feel chaotic, humor was incorporated to make the content more engaging and memorable for faculty. The video aims to illustrate how embedding assessments into courses not only evaluates student learning but also acts as an effective tool for improving teaching and fostering student development—benefiting all involved.
Tableau
A Tableau Dashboard is a collection of data that has been visualized, letting you compare a variety of data simultaneously and from different vantage points. For example, if you
have data that you review every day, you can create a dashboard that displays
all of the data visually on one page, rather than navigate to separate
Excel worksheets. A well-designed dashboard can align your
organization's efforts, help uncover key insights, and
speed up decision-making.
