Development history of the hyperhistory.net web site
These courses were conceptualized in 1985 by Mr. N. who was seeking a way to deliver quality content independent of geographical constraints. Having just returned from eight months of independent travel to several historic sites in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, he wanted to bring the world home to his students but he did not want to stay home himself. Simply put, he wanted to teach without being tied to a school desk. (Now he teaches being tied to a laptop.)
After more than a decade of preparation in delivering historical content through on-line instruction, he was granted a Fulbright exchange that lead him from Oregon to Colombia. This is where constructing the actual courses of hyperhistory.net began in 2001-2002 while Mr. N. taught at a school for the children of evangelical missionaries. Here he instructed a talented 10th grade class of in both World History and Computers. This integration provided the stimulus, creativity, and diligence to begin developing World History content.
During the next decade, Mr. N. edited and published world history essays sent in by his world wide cyber students.
This site continues to grow through the quality submissions donated by Christians who value the promotion of history in Biblical perspective.
