We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Khan Academy’s World History Project AP course is now mastery-enabled! This updated course doesn’t just offer an in-depth understanding of world history—it empowers students to build mastery through innovative tools designed to enhance their learning and confidence in the AP World History: Modern course. Whether you’re a teacher looking to boost classroom instruction or a student aiming to sharpen your AP knowledge, this course has something valuable for everyone.
Why this course is a game-changer for students and families
Our newly updated World History Project AP course allows students to check their understanding of AP-aligned material through new mastery-enabled exercises. These exercises help students build confidence in their knowledge of world history. They can review key historical developments and get opportunities to practice analyzing historical sources. As students progress through each lesson, they can track their understanding of key concepts and their grasp of historical thinking skills to complete quizzes and unit assessments. This continuous feedback loop ensures that students are well-prepared for their exams and can identify areas where they need further practice.
Additionally, the course allows students to supplement their learning by diving deeper into course-aligned topics and skills. For instance, a student studying the Industrial Revolution can practice applying historical thinking skills such as causation and change over time, which is crucial for success in AP World History: Modern. This supports the development of higher-order integrative thinking and analysis in a friendly, low-stakes format. It also reinforces learning, builds confidence, and helps students see the relevance of historical events in today’s world.
How educators can save time and boost student engagement
For educators, the new World History Project AP exercises offer a powerful tool to quickly assess student understanding of the content throughout the course. Featuring a mix of stimulus-based and non-stimulus-based questions, these exercises provide a low-stakes yet authentic way for students to demonstrate their learning of key topics and themes. This makes it easier to monitor student progress and adjust instruction to address gaps in understanding. Each exercise is aligned with the Course and Exam Description (CED) for AP World History: Modern, encouraging students to use essential historical thinking skills such as causation, contextualization, comparison, and change over time. Incorporating these exercises into your teaching can give your students meaningful practice that builds their historical knowledge base, critical thinking skills, and confidence.
