China Today
We developed this program for our CCRC and you may want to use it for yours as well. Our group met for an hour each week.
We had two parts to our program. The course presented here includes the second half hour sections of the hour long course. This part introduces China today; the first half hour covers Chinese history. It is intended to provide an insight into what is happening now in China and how that impacts us in the United States.
Our course is a compilation materials under our understanding of the appropriate licensing and copyright authorities. We wish to acknowledge and thank all those who have contributed materials selflessly for edification of all who have the curiosity to continue to learn.
From the table in the right hand column click on the lesson you wish to select.
The first half hour, as we present the course, is for Chinese history and for that we used the Teaching Company lectures titled "From Yao to Mao: 5000 Years of Chinese History" given by Professor Kenneth J. Hammond who teaches at New Mexico State University and who has a Ph.D. from Harvard University. That material is copyrighted and can be obtained by clicking here. Teaching Company courses regularly go on sale at great savings so it is recommended that you avoid paying the list price by waiting for a sale.
Our learning core is the video classroom. Most topics are presented by video supplemented by reading materials
