Teaching fellows are also learning by helping with continuing legal education offerings.
Students have served as the equivalent of online TFs, facilitating chats.
"Combining the face to face experience with the online experience... has them learning the medium as well as the content," Nesson says.
Alumni's Place
Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) Senior Association Director Terry K. Shaller '72 says he sees the alumni association's role as facilitating the distribution of online content, not creating it.
"We're building on what's already here. We're aware of what Princeton's doing, and Yale's just getting started," says Shaller, who is on the workgroup. "We think of ourselves as the alumni association, as a way for alumni to get to this stuff, rather than inventing it."
He says he sees HAA's website as a potential portal to online content at Harvard--a way to catalogue and capture everything available on the web--but would not specify a time frame for when Harvard could prepare a portal. He cites the Kennedy School of Government's ARCO Forum speeches and the GSE's Askwith Forum as examples.
