Education 2.0 & 3.0

OCSB is a world recognized leader in Deep Learning... and Harvard has taken notice!

The global pandemic has deepened an epidemic of loneliness in America. This report from Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, explores who is lonely, the many causes of loneliness, and ways to alleviate it.

In a Q&A session, Vice Provost for Advances in Learning Bharat Anand discusses how Harvard is planning for a fall semester largely online.

As we prepare to navigate a summer of uncertainty and decisions about the fall, our schools, families, and communities need a new vision for the future of K-12 education — one that addresses the inequities that the current crisis has starkly revealed. http://hgse.me/ednow520

About Education Now:
Education Now is an initiative by the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) to respond to the dramatic changes in the field of education today.
