"The camera never lies"......

.....did I mention I'd registered for another free Coursera online course?

They say.......
This short history course is an introduction to use of images and other media as historical evidence in the twentieth century, issues of authenticity and manipulation, and the place of film and historical adoptions as public history.

Fascinating stuff, if only for the downloadable bite-sized video lectures and course notes packed with OODLES of links to web resources and archive sources and material....hoorah, another 5 weeks of pretending to be a student again.....needless to say I'm living the dream and it'll be virtual pot noodles for lunch;-)
