Jump in! Jumpstarting university faculty to develop online courses

Session Description
This general forum session will share Jumpstart, a program developed by the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Distance Course Design and Consulting Group (DCDC) to assist faculty with designing online courses and programs. Over the past 10 years, DCDC has been contracted by university departments and programs to assist with hundreds of online course development projects. In an effort to reduce departmental costs and openly share best practices, DCDC developed Jumpstart.

Jumpstart is an accelerated training and support program blending online and face-to-face elements for faculty designing online courses. The online portion of Jumpstart consists of development tools and an inspiration showcase located on the Jumpstart website (https://learn.coe.hawaii.edu/jumpstart). The tools are a set of open, custom-designed, development tools including an online course rubric, templates for blueprinting, modules, and syllabi. The inspiration showcase includes ideas for online activities and assignments including work samples, tool recommendations, screenshots, instructions, and faculty videos. The face-to-face portion of Jumpstart includes custom workshops culminating in a sharing of work accomplished. One-to-one assistance is offered throughout to address specific faculty development needs.

This session will share with participants the open tools and highlight examples from the inspiration showcase. Jumpstart has been conducted with 17 faculty members from 3 programs redesigning their face-to-face courses for online delivery. Lessons learned, evaluation results and practical implications for others designing online courses will be shared. Participants will be invited to participate in a discussion on online course development tools, favorite examples and relevant experiences.

Collaborative Problem Solving using Enterprise Architecture (EA) Frameworks

Session Description
This session shares successful experiences with ”framework-thinking” for designing an enterprise architecture. Based upon wisdom of understanding problems before seeking solutions, a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach guided brain-storming, enabled handling complexity by adapting frameworks. Learners gained a perspective that meaningful next-step actions achieved a solution at an “Edge of Chaos”. Teams delivered a case study that analyzed a real- world enterprise that either succeeded or failed based on having an architecture strategy.
