Writing History OnLine

In this section you will find some interesting experiments of writing history on line.

One of the objectives of the History On Line Project is to experiment new forms of writing history on line, by creating and sharing at transnational level historical essays that the reader can check and, if necessary, integrate or confute, by accessing directly to the sources that were used by the historian to develop the historical interpretation presented in the essay itself.

This section shows how historians can use the sources and the tools collected in the portal for writing History on line, providing access to 9 Historical Essays addressing different issues related to the History of Education.

Each Essay has been developed at National Level and then discussed upon in a transnational dimension, making the Writing History OnLine Section a real example of online cooperative writing of history.
