Benefits

Just about everyone is familiar with online video conferencing services like Zoom, Teams, or any of the countless options available online. So why create a program using HBS Live Online Classrooms? Because this is online learning like it’s never been done before.

Designed for interactive engagement 

The HBS Live Online Classroom is a truly interactive teaching and learning experience. Instructors can move about the space, just like a physical classroom—bringing all the dynamic energy and intensity of a true case discussion to bear. Robust support provided by the HBS Live Online Classroom production team allows instructors to be completely free of technology responsibilities, so they can focus on discussions and make deep, one-to-one connections. 

Dynamic case teaching, the way cases were meant to be taught 

The case method is a powerful pedagogical tool and participants come to HBS to experience it firsthand. The HBS Live Online Classroom fully captures the dynamic teaching style, allowing instructors and participants to interact the way no other technology quite can, keeping you engaged and on your toes. So now you can get the complete HBS classroom experience, even if you’re half a world away.

Collaborative thought partners are standing by

The HBS IT team combines world-class technical know-how and deep program delivery expertise to make every HBS Live Online Classroom session a success. We’re eager to explore new challenges, opportunities, and ideas—and we’re ready to help you bring your teaching, convening, and community engagement experiences to life.

Bringing the HBS classroom to more remote learners

Most of all, HBS Live Online Classrooms allow Harvard Business School to further deliver on its mission to educate leaders who make a difference in the world, while scaling the School’s impact and pedagogy. By removing some of the barriers to learning, like travel cost and logistics, we can allow more people to benefit from, and contribute to, the HBS classroom experience.
