Pedagogy Redefined: Supporting Curricular Innovation with a Centralized Learning Ecosystem

Wednesday, March 14, 2012 | 2:50PM–3:40PM | West Prefunction
Session Type: NC12
Harvard Business School has infused new levels of pedagogical innovation into its MBA program to prepare students for the evolving changes in global business. To support this innovation, HBS required a centralized learning ecosystem to bring students and faculty together in new ways. Remarkably, HBS IT delivered the school's first centralized learning platform to students and faculty in just six months, flush with a set of industry-first collaboration tools that brought teaching and learning to new levels. This session will review the strategy that made this vision a reality and explore how other schools can achieve similar success.
