Spring 2020: "Facing History has lifted the login restrictions for students on our large and diverse streaming video collection. Here is how it works: Search or navigate to any streaming video. If you search, and a login block appears, simply click on the video title, which will bring you to a second page, which includes the new password-free link for students. (You can send that link to your students if you want to suggest that they watch a particular video.)"

"Use them as-is or customize them to fit your needs. Instructor manual, PowerPoint presentations, and test bank available for many modules. Use Noba books as a starting point; add additional modules from our catalog or remove any that don't fit your course. You can even start from scratch and build a textbook that's all your own."
