Even after over 100 years, the Titanic disaster continues to fascinate people of all ages. In this class, we will examine the construction of the ship, what made this ship so unique, take an in-depth look at its maiden voyage, explore how social class differed on the ship as well as impacted survivor rates, and take a look at what we have learned from this tragedy at how it influenced maritime safety standards. This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
