How People Learn

How People Learn Logo
Overview
How People Learn is an initiative funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to create an online, personalized course that will be part of a common core experience for all incoming master’s students at HGSE. The course will focus on connecting the science of learning and human development to professional practice in education across roles.
 
Project Objectives
The goals of the project are twofold. The first is to design and build a personalized learning course on How People Learn. The second is to fund faculty experimentation with personalizing curriculum, pedagogy, and assessments in their teaching of existing courses. Through both of these goals, HGSE hopes to pioneer how we think about personalization in a professional school.
 
TLL Engagement
The TLL is spearheading the How People Learn course development, while also working in coordination with other departments around HGSE. Multiple different workstreams around content, technology, learning design, student experience, and media are working together to create and deliver the course. By working in iterative, sprint design cycles, the TLL is able to innovate and get rapid feedback on the many aspects of the course.
