What is Module 0? It depends on who you ask. When it comes to helping our students get started with a course, every school has a different way to do that. Some programs focus on helping students access and use technology by providing policy and procedure guidelines, technical training and support. Other programs want to make sure the students have the appropriate incoming knowledge to succeed in the course they are about to begin. Join us to learn about what “Module 0” means at Harvard.

**Speakers:**  
Ethan Contini-Field, Course Designer (DCE)  
Anastasia Tolu, Instructional Technologist and User Support (HLS)  
Patrice Torcivia, Associate Director of Learning Design and Kim Chung, Learning Technologist (HGSE)
