A Biography of America

Produced by WGBH Interactive for Annenberg/CPB, this site functions as a companion to the 26-show telecourse and video program of the same name (though one need not have seen the videos to appreciate the site). From the front page, users can access sections of the site to accompany each of the 26 programs, from New World Encounters through The Redemptive Imagination. Each section offers a Flash component (these include timelines, maps, images with pop-up interpretation, and a nifty feature called "you decide," which offers the counterargument for opinions that users register about an issue, such as "Did the feminist movement improve American women's lives?"). In addition, each section includes a timeline of central events, a map, a transcript of the video, and an annotated list of links. American History and American Studies instructors will want to add this one to their list of links for students.
