讲座一：美国高等教育的道德使命  
时间：3月17日 上午9：30-12：00

    纵观美国高等教育发展史，哈佛学院从建立之初有着怎样的教育目标？随着经济的发展，近年来，它的教育目标又受到了什么样的挑战，在未来哈佛学院又准备如何去应对这些挑战？哈佛学院目前的现状又是什么样的？对于经济飞速发展的今天中国，哈佛学院又给了中国高等教育什么样的借鉴意义？ 

Professor Lewis will deliver two lectures on higher education. In the first talk he will sketch the history of American higher education, and how it was from the beginning (that is, from the founding of Harvard College in 1636) at least as much about civic and moral purposes as it was about skill training and economic development. Those civic and moral ideals for higher education have been challenged in recent years, and Professor Lewis will explain how issues of purpose may be resolved in the future. These matters are of critical importance today, as the U.S. feels economic competition globally and from China in particular, at the same time as many Chinese students seek higher education in the U.S. and many U.S. universities seek international talent and revenue.

 

讲座二：信息时代的课堂重塑  
时间：3月17日 下午2：30-4：30

    Harry Lewis教授为我们描述了即将来临的大学层面教学法的改革，不是MOOC的影响，而是如何从传统的讲授到主动学习，以小组为单位，师生充分的合作与交流。他将从自己亲身构建新型课程的教学经验和体会出发，讲述如何玩转这样的“反转课堂”。

Reinventing the Classroom in the Information Age

In his second lecture, Professor Lewis will describe a coming revolution in university-level pedagogy. Not the MOOC revolution, but a revolution in the use of the classroom. Far less time will be spent lecturing (since the Internet can be used for mere information transmission), and far more time on “active learning,” team-based, collaborative, interactive engagement of teachers and students. He will describe in some detail his own experience creating and teaching such a “flipped classroom” course, in discrete mathematics for computer science.

He joined the Harvard faculty in 1974 and served as Dean of Harvard College from 1995–2003. His teaching, research, and writing have ranged across a variety of fields: mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, the impact on society of the digital information explosion, the role of sports in American society, and the future of higher education. His most recent books are Excellence Without a Soul; Does Liberal Education Have a Future? and Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion.
