Digital American History

The Department of History and the College of Education at the University of Houston have created a website to help make students learning history exciting. The multimedia section of the website offers electures, film trailers, flash movies, games database, and historical music. Some of the electures include such famous writers as Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky and Linda Gordon.
There are also quizzes to test visitors' historical knowledge, such as "Could You Pass the 1885 Admission Test for High School?"or "U.S. History: 2000 High School History Quiz". The former asks students questions in five subject areas, such as algebra and poetry. The latter asked college students at 55 universities 34 multiple choice questions about history; the average score was 53%.
Lastly, the "time machine" is a fun interactive that visitors will enjoy using to learn about American History.
