Preparing to Teach Online at UH (PTTO) module is now hosted on SCORM Cloud!

Preparing to Teach Online at UH Module

You asked, we listened! The ability to save content progress has been a feature that many PTTO participants have been asking for since the module first rolled out. After looking at a number of solutions, we decided to use SCORM Cloud as the new hosting platform for the PTTO module. SCORM Cloud not only allows for content progress to be saved but also for other integrations that were not possible with our previous hosting method. This change will open up many new possibilities to enhance the PTTO module and we hope you look forward to seeing those changes in the near future.

If you have any questions about SCORM Cloud or changes to the PTTO module, please email uhoic@hawaii.edu. We always love hearing from you!
