Percent of Harvard courses by school and course platform

Some Accomplishments Strengthening of the student learning experiences in the various schools at Harvard World-class course management platform that is both faculty- and student-centric Started as a Pilot in 2000, now embraces all schools at Harvard 80% of courses using common set of tools Harvard’s schools are sharing resources; librarians and instructional technologists are cooperating; faculty are enthusiastic.

Accomplishments The collaborative effort has spawned and/or linked up with other initiatives: Presidential Instructional Technologies Fellows Web pedagogy and community of practitioners Technology Integration Needs assessment Faculty development Course transformation & content development Three T’s (tools, training, and technical support) Strengthening of working relationship between faculty and technologists

Key Challenges To consolidate best of breed instructional tools from around the university into a single, integrated course management system To overcome the historical independence of Harvard’s various academic environments To reconcile technical approaches to software development in a way that produces an application equally relevant to diverse instructional cultures and curricula
