Did you Know? In early 2024, the UHOIC, in collaboration with ITS Data Governance, developed the UH AI Decision Tree (PDF), an easy-to-follow flowchart for UH faculty and staff interested in exploring AI-based tools and/or incorporating them into their teaching. The flowchart includes links to an overview of artificial intelligence, UH AI recommendations, and important considerations for the ethical use of AI, including how to protect your and your students’ data when using third-party tools. Check it out!
With the learning management system (LMS) transition from Laulima to Lamakū underway, there continues to be a growing number of resources, tutorials, events, etc. available for faculty and staff across the system. To help navigate everything in a one-stop shop, the Lamakū Learning Pathways infographic (Miro, accessible PDF version also available) was created to map out the curated resources into different user pathways: Core, Plus, and Power.
Whether you are new to Lamakū, seeking to deepen your knowledge, or aiming to support others, these groupings are designed for users to easily jump between pathways (and topics), depending on their specific needs. As new professional development events and/or resources become available, they will be incorporated into the infographic.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to transform the world of education in many ways. It’s important to consider multiple factors and implications when deciding whether to integrate AI-based tools into your teaching and learning. The University of Hawaiʻi has created a number of compiled resources and recommendations for faculty, staff, and students:
UH Online Generative AI webpage – Reference this main page for guidelines and recommendations. Additional pages are available for targeted audiences:
AI Resources for Teaching and Learning – This resource, created collaboratively by the UH Instructional Design Professional Learning Community (ID PLC), covers topics related to AI (i.e., Accessibility, Assessment, Citations & References, Copyright, Educational Considerations, Ethics, Pedagogy, Policies for the Classroom, Prompting, and Tools) along with summaries, key points, and/or recommended use for each included source.
Whether you are new to AI or already familiar with it, these resources can help guide you to explore the possibilities and potentials of AI for teaching and learning.
This Fall 2023 semester’s lineup of UHOIC-hosted events will be centered around AI; sign up for the UHOIC newsletter or visit the UHOIC website for more information as it becomes available!
