THE 2013 Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT) conference, which nearly filled the largest Science Center lecture hall on May 8, demonstrated wide interest across the University in improving pedagogy. Ever since HILT was launched in the fall of 2011, during Harvard’s 375th-anniversary celebration, it has catalyzed campus conversation on cognition and learning, course and curriculum design, classroom spaces, educational technology, assessment, and more, through an annual symposium and a series of innovation grants to faculty members. This second symposium—addressed by both the president and the provost, and attended by several deans among the audience of hundreds—suggested the variety and reach of educational experiments under way involving professors in every Harvard school, and their hundreds or thousands of students.
