Welcome to AP Worldipedia, the free encyclopedia covering the content for Advanced Placement World History. This project is a work in progress, and is being aligned to the curriculum framework for AP World History.
AP Worldipedia began in 2008 as a class project. Using the open source Wikipedia platform, students wrote articles on the Major Comparisons component of the old curriculum framework (the "acorn book"). After each year the database was deleted and the next class began researching and writing the articles again. By 2012 I decided to use my experience as an AP exam grader and question writer to create a more reliable and permanent online source of course content with the Key Concepts of the new curriculum framework serving as an outline. It turned out to be a bigger job than I had anticipated, and is still going on. I continue to write articles here when I can (the birth of my daughter slowed things down a bit) and the end is in sight. I hope students and teachers find this project to be a good supplemental source for the class.
Below are the Key Concepts on which this course is based. Each has been filled out into a narrative text with illustrative media. Although they do not necessarily follow the chronological order in which the content will be taught in class, they should be useful in summarizing the basics of the course. All questions on the AP World History test in May are built on the Key Concepts you see listed on this website. Later on the content will also be arranged by the 5 AP World History Themes and there will be articles and essay rubrics with links to examples. If you have any questions, corrections, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to email me.
