Project 4: Using social media for education and caregiving
Client: The Design and Development team within Professional Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE)
Project description:
The Design and Development team within HGSE aims to provide transformative adult learning experiences by bringing together diverse professionals, connecting them with each other and with HGSE’s leading faculty and research, and engaging them in important problems of practice. Specifically, the team designs and offers education programs for audiences such as pre-kindergarten through secondary school teachers, administrators, and curriculum leaders; higher education faculty and administrators; and parents and caregivers. Due to the pandemic, the team has to shift all of their offline programs and conferences to online meetings. Despite the challenges, this change provides an opportunity for them to reconsider their program’s audiences, scope, and formalities.
Among other goals, the Design and Development team aims to more effectively use social media to support learning experiences for educators and caregivers worldwide. To this end, they seek to better understand how their target audiences are already using social media for learning and development.
