Laulima v21 Upgrade & Tips for Instruction Webinar Resources

Laulima v21 Upgrade and Tips for Instruction Webinar Flyer

After a nice holiday break, we opened the semester with a webinar covering Laulima’s new features. Hosted by the UH Instructional Design Professional Learning Community (PLC), the Laulima v21 Upgrade and Tips for Instruction webinar sought to inform and inspire faculty and staff on Laulima’s latest updates. Aside from learning about features like dark mode, a new assignment submission option, and a new messaging feature in Gradebook, participants also had opportunities to deep-dive into the Lessons, Gradebook, and Rubrics tools with instructional designers. Turnout for the webinar was good, but if you missed it, you’ll find the webinar recording and a link to the presentation slides on the event page

The 2022 Cohort starts Phase 3 of the UHOPD Program!

Our 2022 UH Online Professional Development (UHOPD) Accelerated and Early College cohorts are now entering Phase 3: UH Online Quality Course Design Review where the online courses they have developed during the PD course are being reviewed by designated system and campus instructional designers.

Faculty will work collaboratively with the IDs to complete course revisions in alignment with the UH Online Quality Course Design Review and will have additional time to implement any feedback into their courses before the scheduled release date.

We’re in the last stretch, 2022 UHOPD cohort! We are looking forward to supporting you during the course review process.

The UH Online Professional Development (UHOPD) Course is Off to a Great Start!

Our 2022 UHOPD Accelerated and Early College cohorts completed their first sync session earlier this week! Mahalo to the UHOPD alumni guest presenters (Anika Gearhart & Ann Abeshima) who shared strategies and tips with the accelerated cohort, and to the Early College high school coordinators and early college students who shared their experiences with the Early College cohort!

Another sync session will occur on Friday, when the cohorts will dive deeper into building empathy with students and much more!

As always, we always look forward to the connections and learnings that occur within the learning community throughout the PD!
