Supporting Student Skills

At the end of Faculty Director Sue J. Goldie’s General Education course, World Health: Challenges and Opportunities, students are charged with analyzing a societal health challenge they are passionate about and with creating a “real world” product to influence policy or motivate change.

To support Harvard College students on their final project journey, GHELI’s Instructional Design Specialist, Nina Bhattacharya, crafted a series of mini-workshops to spotlight three critical dimensions of successful final projects: a powerful call-to-action, a strong evidence base, and a creative modality. Teaching Fellow Barune Thapa walked students through a framework for developing compelling stories for social change, while the Incubator’s Bok Pedagogy Fellow Elizabeth Hentschel presented an invaluable crash course on critically analyzing evidence. The series culminated with an introduction to audio, video, and visual tools for bringing project ideas to life.
