Bring settings to life

Follow the Nomadic Professor to history’s actual settings–from the Appalachians to the Andes and from the swamps of Louisiana to the Gobi, Sahara, and Changtang. Engage with the settings and contexts behind today’s headlines. Learn to read and think with the critical judgement of a historian, and prepare to ace your college credit exams.

History taught the Nomadic way

Guided

Follow the Professor from setting to setting as he guides you through the historical narrative. Learn the past with targeted support built to help you follow every key idea.

Flexible

Listen to the course for fun, or get credit by diving deep into the text with our guided notes, flashcards, quizzes, document lessons, writing assignments, and more.

Content-rich

Read the story in all of its complexity with nuanced coverage of the ideas, events, people and places that shaped the past; make judgments from a wide range of available evidence.

Built with students in mind

Classroom-like support from end-to-end: guided notes, video modeling, clear rubrics, course handbooks, ongoing report cards, and so much more.

Meet the Nomadic Team

Each course’s text and on-location videos are produced by the globetrotting, indefatigable Dr. William Jackson. Having taught over 150 university-level classes (and counting), he’s one of Youtube’s most innovative professors. The rigorous scaffolding and guidance for each course are developed by experienced High School teacher Nate Noorlander.
