Digital and Online Initiatives Working Group
Membership: The Digital and Online Initiatives working group was chaired by Boris Hassleblatt, Professor of Mathematics, School of Arts and Sciences. Detailed member information is listed below.
Guiding Questions:
- What are the current ways that Tufts delivers educational content online?
- What principles should guide Tufts as we consider joining one of the online course delivery models (e.g., edX, Coursera)?
- How is digital technology used to enhance the classroom experience at Tufts? What barriers exist to this enhancement and how can we overcome those barriers?
- What are the new ways that we might use digital technology to enhance the classroom experience at Tufts?
- What investments are necessary if we are to expand our use of digital technology in the classroom? Please focus on investments that are unlikely to become obsolete in the near term.
- What should we stop doing, or start doing differently, if we aim to achieve our online and digital educational goals?
