Academic & Instructional Technologies

Academic Technology is at the core of HGSE's mission.

HGSE's Academic Technologies group works with teaching teams to support their course management work in digital spaces. We facilitate infrastructure to maintain faculty and staff data for the school. We also serve as an important touchpoint for Harvard-wide course data systems. 

Academic Technology places a strong emphasis on digital accessibility, best practices, and policy compliance.
