Learner Reviews & Feedback for Applied Public History: Places, People, Stories by University of London

Very enjoyable course and inspires the use of social media and the internet to not only engage with the public, but to turn them into co-creators through crowdsourcing.

Well done

I just will say that it worth every minute spent! Very inspiring, clear, interesting. Lot of examples. Boosts creativity even in such academic discipline as history. Beautiful speakers!

A very engaging course for anyone interested in public history. Helps in thinking creatively and about considering who is missing from your audience.

Awesome course for those who really want to change the perspective towards the application pf human science in daily life.

Excellent combination of academic knowledge with a more down to earth practical approach to the subject.

Very professional and stimulating, with lots of good example projects to learn from.

This is very helpful for improving historiography skills.

Super interesting and really well presented - thanks.

Great experience!

Great course.

It is a good introduction to Public History, not from theory and debates but from actual practices and experiences. The course could benefit from other experiences outside of London to, at least, give a glimpse of how does Public History work in other contexts. I learned a lot even though I had some prior Public History experience (from college and international conferences). I absolutely recommend this course for people remotely interested in History outside Academia.

I have always been interested in history and I do have some familiarity with doing history from a more academic perspective. However I learned from this course that history has happened and is happening all around me. Gives me a new pair of eyes with which to view my surroundings...I do wish that this project had been a little more inclusive of doing public history in places other than London and the UK.

This has been a very enjoyable course with lots of examples of different projects involving lots of different communities. The projects chosen illustrated the wide range of community history projects available.

Very interesting perspectives. I would have liked more that related to small scale rural projects that could be undertaken with limited human and economic resources.
