The first site, Persistent Issues in History Network, is a partnership of Tom Brush, an IUB instructional systems technology professor at the School of Education, and Auburn University’s John Saye; it promotes problem-based historical inquiry in high school social studies classes and portrays a broad range of social justice and historical issues. The civil rights movement is one content choice, and the site contains a civil rights database with 1,500 primary and secondary sources; it will soon branch out with more materials on the Spanish conquest, post-Civil War reconstruction and world history.

This second site, the IUPUI Multicultural Classroom Resource Guide, is based on research from the IUPUI Office for Multicultural Professional Development, the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning and the IUPUI Diversity Inquiry Group. It provides access to journal articles, textbook citations, sample curricula and other documents presenting best practices for transforming curriculum so that it is multicultural, both in course content and classroom climate; the site also offers guided readings on theories supporting the benefits of multicultural education. Users from the U.S. and 55 countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, Australia and Europe have already visited the guide Web site, which was updated last September after one year of operation.
