Chronology, widely used for teaching arts and humanities, marginalizes students' abilities to connect new knowledge to existing constructs. Building on the foundation provided by Etienne Wenger-Trayner and Beverly Wenger-Trayner (2020), we argue that using social learning in arts and humanities is more productive than chronology, with attention to…
