World history/WHME101/Announcements7

Dear Student,

Welcome to Session 7 of World History: The Early Modern Period. You can access all course materials for this micro-course on the website at anytime: http://course.oeru.org/whme101/

In this session we learn about the Enlightenment, and the French and American Revolutions. These are critical transformations, and indeed so much so that the revolutions are often regarded as ushering in the modern period in history. In the French Revolution we witness the birth of democracy and human rights - two foundational pillars of our modern political system. You can begin Session 7 here.

As you proceed through the course, its a great idea to complete the review quiz at the end of each learning pathway. This will help you consolidate your knowledge, and if you are taking this micro-course for credit, it will help you prepare for your assessment.

Have you posted a comment on WEnotes or the course forum lately? It's a great way to share your new knowledge with your fellow students!

Enjoy your learning,

Deborah
