34. Teaching
and
Learning
Community
Why?
• More
than
just
a
technology
migra>on
• Need
to
meet
teaching,
learning,
research
needs
• Engage
with
faculty
…
and
those
who
support
faculty
How?
• TLT
/
Schools
• Canvas
Governance
Group
• Coffee
&
Canvas
• Par>cipate
in
exis>ng
convenings
(e.g.,
HILT’s
TLC)

35. Cul6vate
open

community
around

36. Developer
Community
Why?
• History
of
silos
–
working
hard,
not
smart
• Inefficiencies
of
process
and
product
• TLT
can’t
do
it
alone
–
now
we
don’t
have
to
How?
• Gather
academic
developers
from
Harvard
schools
and
organiza>ons
– Open
bi-­‐weekly
sprint
demos
– Monthly
developer
convenings
– Quarterly
demo
days
– Summer
hackathons
• Work
with
schools
outside
Harvard
based
on
problem
to
solve
