Innovating Spanish Civil War Education: Integrating Visual and Digital Resources

This course explores the Spanish Civil War through a rich combination of images and literature, utilizing photography, children's drawings, paintings, posters, and film alongside essential historical texts and novels. Through the innovative application for the Hewlett Fund for Curricular Innovation, we aim to consolidate course materials and improve accessibility for both students and instructors. The course will evolve with a dedicated web framework, thematic modules, and collaborative development processes, enhancing both content delivery and digital literacy.
