Maps currently available to students and teachers can hinder the awareness of large historical and geographic forces operating in our students' histories. Even if maps explore transregional processes, they tend to be chronologically limited. Static, printed maps have a hard time explaining change over long periods of time and wide space. In order to improve undergraduate and high school student awareness of international history and geography, ACCD faculty have developed digitally layered maps and other map exercise modules that explore the global forces that have shaped San Antonio and South Texas and other topics as a means to promote world geography comprehension in the larger sense.
