This document outlines a diploma project proposal to create a product that makes history more interesting for school children. The student proposes developing an interactive application, e-book, or kit focusing on the reign of a Great Mughal emperor. Traditional history teaching is seen as boring, so the project aims to introduce an A-level style of encouraging critical thinking through stories, illustrations, and activities to engage students. Research will involve understanding students', teachers', and the market's needs through interviews on how to create a fun learning experience.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Project
Statement
A
project,
that
aims
to
make
History
an
interesting
subject
for
students.
When
I
was
in
school
I
used
to
hate
history
because
of
the
long
sleepy
boring
chapters
and
the
traditional
ways
on
how
it
is
being
taught
in
class.
Only
when
I
matured
enough
I
understood
and
realized
the
importance
of
the
subject
and
the
interesting
revelations
and
discoveries
about
the
roots
of
the
world
and
human
race.
Now
when
I
interact
with
school
kids
most
of
them
find
history
the
most
boring
subject
amongst
all
and
don't
understand
the
importance
or
the
value
of
the
subject
and
take
for
granted
the
heritage
that
has
been
left
behind.
My
aim
is
to
create
a
product
that
will
help
in
making
History
an
interesting
subject
for
school
children
by
introducing
the
A-‐level
method
of
teaching.
I
will
concentrate
on
a
reign
of
one
of
the
Great
Mughal
dynasty
as
the
legacy
of
great
art
and
deep
social
division
left
by
the
Mughals
still
influences
us.
This
can
include
story
telling
and
ways
of
making
the
product
interactive
which
will
help
the
child
to
engage
and
make
the
subject
interesting.
The
product
can
be
an
application
for
ios
or
android,
or
a
kit
for
ICSE
schools.
Why
History?
Why
Children?
The
Need?
History
is
not
just
a
monument,
person
or
a
bunch
of
dates!
It’s
a
Story..
-‐
The
traditional
ways
on
how
the
subject
is
being
taught
is
quite
boring
which
leaves
children
uninterested.
The
teaching
methods
are
not
ideal
for
the
children
of
today’s
generation.
-‐
The
existing
materials,
even
the
new
applications
that
are
currently
available
on
ios
and
android
are
quite
boring.
-‐
Children
are
unaware
of
the
rich
culture
and
history
of
India
and
it
is
important
to
have
the
knowledge
at
a
young
age
because
of
the
vast
career
choices
available
to
one.
-‐
Today
books
and
comics
are
no
more
relevant
to
kids
as
they
find
it
passé
and
engage
in
the
new
age
media
that
captures
their
attention.
The
Solution
The
A-‐
level
method
of
teaching
involves
the
encouragement
of
deep
and
critical
thinking,
which
aims
to
improve
analytical
thinking.
A
system,
which
does
not
involve
textbooks,
has
the
element
of
interaction
and
can
capture
the
child’s
interest.
This
is
more
likely
to
make
the
experience
of
education
more
engaging.
The
e-‐book/
application/
book/
form
will
involve
stories,
illustrations
and
activities
that
will
help
students
to
engage
with
the
subject
and
help
them
understand
better.
3. The
e-‐book/
application/
book/
form
could
include
games,
pop
ups,
sound,
motion
graphics
that
help
them
relate
to
the
subject
better.
Research
questions
User
interviews
will
be
of
tremendous
importance
for
research.
Who
my
target
audience
is
and
what
is
the
market?
Understanding
the
need
of
my
target
audience.
What
are
the
existing
products
available
and
looking
at
what’s
already
been
done?
What
are
the
existing
methods
of
teaching
the
subject
in
schools?
Understanding
the
need
of
teachers
also.
A
deeper
understanding
of
the
A
-‐
level
method
of
teaching.
What
are
the
limitations
of
the
product
with
regard
to
different
groups
of
children?
What
urban
children
respond
and
relate
to
as
opposed
to
rural
children?
The
language
(visual,
text,
verbal)
that
is
best
understood
and
responded
to
by
children?
How
can
I
create
an
experience
of
a
fun
learning
while
making
it
interactive
for
the
child?
Approach/
Process
The
project
will
begin
with
understanding
the
content
that
I
will
be
working
upon
followed
by
the
existing
methods
of
teaching
the
subject.
I
will
research
my
target
audience
and
look
at
the
above
written
research
questions.
After
finishing
up
the
research
on
the
topic
I
will
ideate
on
what
the
product
and
medium
needs
to
be
and
make
prototypes
for
the
same.
