Course iSites is the GSD's official course website platform, a collaborative project between many of Harvard's schools that is coordinated by the Office of the Provost. Course iSites makes it easy for instructors and teaching fellows to communicate with students, provide course-related resources, assign and collect class work, and more. It is the successor to the GSD Courseware platform.
This website is the documentation portal for all your GSD Course iSites needs. Documentation on how to use the toolkit, and information about how to post and manage your online content are available here. You may want to bookmark this page for future reference.
