Features: In the reform of history teaching in China's higher education institutions, the teaching hours of world history have been significantly reduced to provide students with more time and space for self-study and reflection. At the same time, the reading volume of primary sources and literature for students has been increased, aiming to enhance their understanding of history. To explore new approaches to the reform of world history teaching, after nearly two years of effort, we have compiled the moderately sized Outline of World History as a world history textbook for history majors (designated as a "21st Century Curriculum Textbook" by the Ministry of Education of China). Additionally, we have developed the Computer Multimedia Teaching Software for the Outline of World History as a supplementary software for this textbook. Due to its moderate length, the Outline of World History can also serve as a textbook for world history general education courses for non-history majors in higher education institutions.
