Higher Education Courseware

 

Created Equal Educational Courseware provides effective teaching tools that focus on creating a broad understanding of current social inequality. This college-level material can also be used in advanced high school classes.

 Created Equal: Sex and Gender
The interactive multimedia software Created Equal: Sex and Gender helps users explore the institutions that support sexism, and includes a special section about violence against women. Utilizing a street scene interface, the program makes such impersonal institutions as economics, education, politics, mass media and the legal system more tangible.

It features over 250 standard pages of text, hundreds of graphics, and more than 2 hours of video. Users can update content online, so the content can remain current for years to come.

This program is ideal as a supplementary text for courses in History, Sociology, Psychology, Women's Studies and Political Science, and Media Lliteracy. It can also be used as a self-paced course. It is also particularly effective for high school teachers tackling social justice issues.

The software is delivered on two CDs or one DVD.

Sex Difference or Sexism: Men, Women & the Sex Difference Exposed 
In 1995, ABC News aired Men, Women and the Sex Difference. Replete with logical errors and broad over-generalizations, the program is still being used in universities and high schools throughout the United States.

Sex Difference or Sexism: Men, Women & the Sex Difference Exposed is a PowerPoint presentation that explores the logical fallacies and factual errors present in the ABC production. Through documented research, careful explanation of logical fallacies and examples from the video, this presentation offers instructors a tool for class exploration and discussion of the video.

This presentation is particularly useful in media literacy and journalism courses, as well as those focusing on social justice and equity.

The presentation comes in PowerPoint, Keynote, and Quicktime formats, all on the same disk, and can be easily altered, allowing instructors to tailor the material to their own courses.

System Requirements:
Any computer able to run PowerPoint.
Quicktime available for Mac or PC at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
