Welina Mai (Welcome)!
Aʻo Aku, Aʻo Mai in Hawaiian means to teach, to learn. Join this half-day unconference bringing together faculty and staff from across the UH system to share, collaborate, and improve online teaching and learning at UH. Sessions will be driven by participants through intentional conversations. Multiple sessions (including special interest topics) will be available for all to attend.
What's an Unconference?
You may be wondering, “What's an unconference?” In short, an unconference can be described as a participant-driven learning experience where the attendees decide on the agenda, session, and discussion topics.
While an unconference is meant to be more unstructured and free-flowing, we’re taking a “hybrid” approach where each high-level session topic has been pre-determined and each session will begin with a short “sharing” portion by the moderators before jumping into the participant-driven conversations.
2022 Unconference Sketchnotes
Sketchnotes are visual summaries of notes that include images, drawings, and shapes. Unconference sessions had sketchnotes created by the UHOIC team and sketchnote volunteers (shout out to Sheri Gon, Jamie Sickel, and Marnelli Joy Ulep!) and we are excited to share them with you below. You can also view all the sketchnotes compiled in a PDF.
