Our pedagogical approach and methodology
- is deeply rooted in the constructivist theory of learning
- focuses on the ways testimony-based education can enhance media literacy, critical thinking, and global awareness
- incorporates highlighting contemporary issues of prejudice, racism, and personal responsibility through the use of video testimonies
- is tailored for use within the interactive online learning environment of 21st century students
- provides historical context and a frame of time and space to the events described in individual lessons
- has been developed at the intersection of Holocaust education and multi-literacies
