UH Online 5-Week PD Program Evaluation & Iterative Improvements at the 2021 Assessment for Curricular Improvement Poster Exhibit

UH 5-Week PD / / / ,
UH Online 5-Week PD Evaluation Poster created in 2021. The UH Online 5-Week PD Program was launched in 2018 (aligned to UH’s strategic directions) to support faculty across the system with developing online courses in an accelerated, 5-week format. Program evaluation goals: Determine strengths Identify weaknesses Redesign program for 2021 summer cohort. Results/Findings: The greatest strength of the PD program was the instructional designer and facilitator support alongside the implementation of the UH Online 5-Week Laulima learning management system course template. Participants identified learning Laulima’s tools and tips as an area that could be improved upon.

Lawe i ka ma‘alea a kū‘ono‘ono. Take wisdom and make it deep. (#1957). After three years of cohorted offerings of the UH Online 5-Week Professional Development (PD) Program, we felt it was important to continually seek ways to improve. View our UH Online 5-Week PD Program Evaluation & Iterative Improvements poster (and abstract)  to learn more about our program evaluation findings.  A special mahalo to the UH Mānoa Curriculum Assessment and Support Center for providing us with the opportunity to grow our assessment skills.

2021 ITS Talks: UHOIC and the Latest Quest Towards Excellence in Online Teaching & Learning

Events / / / , ,

The UHOIC team shared updates and latest news with the rest of the IT Services department for an internal ITS Talks presentation on April 14, titled “UHOIC and the Latest Quest Towards Excellence in Online Teaching & Learning.” We had a blast as we talked about the launch of our new website, our professional learning & development opportunities, and our UH Online 5-Week PD Program and Quality Course Review process.

Using an interactive game-based tool called Nearpod, we were able to actively engage with those present. Nearpod interactives were used such as polls and a Time to Climb game where participants chose a cute animal avatar and competed to answer questions correctly and quickly to reach the top of a mountain with the highest score.

Congratulations to Alan, Michael, and Diana (Di-Di) for finishing with the highest scores, and mahalo to everyone for participating!

2021 ITS Talks- Top 3 Winner, #1: Alan with 3118 pts, #2: Michael with 1480 pts, and #3: Di-Di with 1466 pts.
