Details:

For this, you will need to create a timeline infographic that outlines the major philosophical lenses we've encountered so far (Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Winslow, etc.) and/or the major ethical themes (Free Will, Determinism, Hedonism, etc.). Your timeline image should include: 

· An image that illustrates the subject or philosopher (or both)

· A "title" for this section of the Timeline

· The time period for this subject

· Summarize the main idea of this ethical lens in one sentence or question

You can either add this to your timeline image, or as a text addendum: 

· Brief list of major contributions to this subject

· Contemporary issues impacted by this ethical framework

· Brief example of how a current event might play out because of this ethical lens

Potential Software or Tools to Make Your Timeline:

Miro This is typically used to collaborate on a whiteboard-type space, but you can use it, too, to create a detailed whiteboard artifact (like a timeline). 

Canva:  This is a free graphic making tool that allows you to create a custom graphic. There are many templates, so you may find a timeline template you can modify. It also comes loaded with a variety of free graphics, shapes, and elements you can use for the timeline graphic details. 

Google Drawing As part of your University of Maine System account, you have access to a free Google Docs or Google Drive account where you can find Google Drawing. This is a free graphic-creation or "paint" software you can use to create your timeline. (Note: you can also use Google Slides to make your timeline). 

Creately : This is typically used for project management, but you can also use it to create a timeline for this class. 

Venngage This software will help you create a classic, simple timeline. 

Lucidchart : Another tool often used for projects and collaborations that can also help you generate a timeline.

Prezi : This presentation tool has templates for timelines you can use to create yours. If you choose, you could share a link to your interactive Timeline with this software (just make sure it's open and shared to the public).
