Faculty Resources to Prepare for Online/Hybrid Courses in Fall 2020

As we look ahead to Fall 2020, we want to ensure we continue to provide students with high quality  courses and support faculty with robust professional development opportunities. As a result, Maui College will be adopting the UHCC System established best practices for faculty teaching online/hybrid and offer numerous PD choices.

Shared UHCC Baseline for Faculty to Commit to Online/Hybrid in Fall

Here are some guidelines for faculty members who commit to teaching all online and/or hybrid in Fall 2020:

  • Use of Laulima or campus-approved LMS to
    • post course syllabus
    • post course schedule
    • provide contact information of faculty including faculty office hours
    • set and post a regular response time for students (24 hours weekdays/48 hours weekends)
  • Understand that proctored exams may not be administered by a third party (e.g., campus testing center, Examity, ProctorU).
  • Participate in summer professional development training (if not previously completed campus-approved PD).
  • Have regular and substantive interaction with students to meet accreditation requirements for online delivery.

Menu of Professional Development Options that faculty can participate in to be better prepared for fall and/or be better prepared for a disrupted semester

Faculty typically use the summer months to improve their curriculum and courses. The following options are targeted specifically to online curriculum development. 

If you are interested in participating in a summer PD opportunity or have questions about one of the options, please contact your VCAA. For general inquiries and questions, please complete this form.

UHMC Zoom Pedagogy Sessions

An offering of a community of learners focused on the pedagogy of synchronous teaching. This will be a short-term community of learners over the summer that will focus on the pedagogy of teaching on Zoom or other synchronous platforms. We won’t focus on the mechanics of teaching on Zoom, but on ways to help students achieve course learning outcomes.

It wouldn’t be training sessions and we would not teach the content. What we can offer is facilitated, focused discussions.

We would develop topics based on the needs and wishes of participants. We would then find speakers, readings, and facilitate discussions on the topics. Some potential topics include creating a sense of belonging in a Zoom classroom, creative approaches to assessing learning, encouraging and tracking participation, and using breakout rooms for small group work.

The group will meet for 6 weeks this summer on Thursdays, starting from June 18, 2020 to July 23, 2020 from 2:30 to 4:00 pm.

If you are interested, please email Julie (juliepow@hawaii.edu) or BK (bkg@hawaii.edu) – This series is at capacity.
