As Harvard prepares for a full return to campus for students this fall, the College is experimenting with in-person and hybrid courses to develop best practices for in-person teaching and learning.
Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Claudine Gay first announced the trials in a December 2020 faculty meeting, noting that they would help the FAS âwork through the logisticsâ of offering in-person instruction in the fall.
Rebecca N. Nesson, associate dean of the Harvard College curriculum, said in an interview that the Collegeâs pilot program has two components: âfull in-person teaching and learning with distancing and masksâ and âhybrid teaching,â with students both physically and digitally present.
