World History
ITunes University (which you can download as an app) and access through ITunes on your laptop has scores of courses in history as well as in most other disciplines. Some of the courses (I found a couple in religion) have embedded video clips that were quite good. Some are worth exploring. You can also access K-12 listings. To find ITunes U, open ITunes and click on Itunes Store, then click the pull down menu on the last tab called ITunes U.
