World history/WHME101/Announcements2

Dear Student,

Welcome to Session 2 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 Session 2 we learn about Global Trade. The first component of the session, Global Trade: Europe, the Middle East and Asia explores the major trade networks in the 1600s, and their differing political and economic impacts in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The second component of the session, The Impact of Global Trade considers how this trade led to a major shift in the balance of power in Europe, changed the economic relationship between East and West, and led to profound ecological changes.

Its great to see so many of you accessing the course materials! We encourage you to share your learning with your peers by posting comments on WEnotes, and tell your friends about the OERu.

Enjoy your learning,

Deborah
