课程概述

This course is a short taster on the topic of the use of Images, Film, and their use in historical interpretation in the 20th century. It is primarily provided for those who have a general interest in history that draws on photojournalism as primary evidence, and films based on historical events. Once you have completed this course we hope you will be equipped to: Appreciate the significance of photographs as historical evidence in the twentieth century. Understand the limitations of the medium, and how we can attribute meaning to these individual records of 'one moment in time' while taking into account the circumstances in which any particular image was taken. Understand how individuals and institutions have looked to manipulate images to their own ends – through alteration and/or censorship – and what that meant to contemporary interpretation, as well as subsequent historical interpretation. Put individual images into a wider context, and in particular with reference to history written, or portrayed, beyond academia: public history. Do be aware that part of the contents of this course regard images and depiction of war. Real wars and real images....

The quizzes in this course are not actually about analyzing film, images, and historical- it is about memorizing whether specific photos are real and fake, and which city was bombed before a different one. I had hoped the first quiz was only like that as an intro, but the second one is the same way. The videos are very interesting (and the only reason I gave this a second star), but I do not think the quizzes are representative of what this course is truly about.

Outdated and doesn't hold your attention. Grading takes forever and course completion certificates take too long to process.

Half of the links to external readings and videos did not work, which is the reason I did not complete the course. It made taking the quizzes fairly impossible unless I wanted to spend my time googling the answers.
