This
Walkthrough takes
you on a tour of sample material, showing how the content of Access to History
Online has been arranged.
The screen shots provided have been taken from Edexcel’s
Unit 1 topic, The World Turned Upside Down, Britain, 1642-1653,
but the content for any given topic is organised in a way that reflects
the specification’s structure.
If you want to go direct to the sample topics provided for OCR, AQA or Edexcel,

When you subscribe to Access to
History Online, you will be sent a unique user login and password,
which are for use by you and other teachers within your centre. Once you
have successfully registered your details, you will then be able to select
up to two specifications, and then the units and topics that are relevant
to you and your students, to create your centre’s course. You’ll
then be asked to create a password for your students to use.
