Online event
Led by: Staff from the Harvard Art Museums and the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning
More than 45 classes across the university—ranging from economics to comparative literature—collaborated with the Harvard Art Museums in Fall 2020. Some faculty used the collections on their own; some invited museums staff for virtual visits; and others developed assignments centered on object-based learning. If you attended one of our workshops on strategies for teaching remotely with objects, or if you’re curious to learn about teaching resources unique to the Harvard Art Museums, we invite you to join us for Leveling Up! In this workshop, we’ll model and discuss more strategies for teaching remotely with the museums’ collections using real examples from classes taught in Fall 2020. We’ll turn the gallery into a flipped classroom, go deeper with breakout rooms, and explore the museums’ bespoke digital tools. Participants are invited to bring questions, topics for brainstorming, and ideas for teaching with objects in Spring 2021.
In advance of the session, participants will be asked to briefly examine an object from the Harvard Art Museums in preparation for a group discussion. An image and information about this object will be sent ahead of time to those who register.
