Technology has the potential to positively transform access to education, and to shape how teachers teach and students learn, but there is still much we don’t know about how that transformation will take shape...

Place-based and residential education will always have an irreplaceable role. But even on our campus, learning in classrooms is being transformed by digital tools.

That is increasingly the case not just at Harvard, but in classrooms across America.
