Challenge Based Learning
Traditional teaching and learning strategies are becoming increasingly ineffective with a generation of secondary students that have instant access to information, are accustomed to managing their own acquisition of knowledge, and embrace the roles of content producer and publisher.
Today’s high school curriculum presents students with assignments that lack a real-world context and activities that lead to uninspired projects and end in a letter grade. Many students either learn to do just enough to get by or they lose interest and drop out. In this interconnected world, with ubiquitous access to powerful technology and access to a worldwide community, new models of teaching and learning are possible.
Collections Overview - Harvard College Library
Harvard's collections are the product of more than three centuries of decisions encompassing every imaginable thematic interest. The contours of these collections also, inevitably, reflect an evolving understanding of what academic libraries are expected to acquire—at one point the basic books that any educated person would have at his command; more recently a broadening array of resources, in all formats, to support an inclusive community's discipline-based inquiries. Libraries at other colleges and universities have of course pursued similar goals. Harvard, however, is unique for the duration of its efforts, and also unusual in having consistently anticipated scholarly needs by documenting emerging social, intellectual, and political trends. A host of distinctive collections, and the uniquely rich sum of these parts, are a visible result.
