Abstract: For Hawaii’s students to be competitive nationally, there must be an increase in implementing college- and career-ready courses. The Online Learning Academy, an affiliate of UH, conducted an online pilot program in 2014 with the hopes of increasing the number of students qualifying for enrollment in college-level math courses. The pilot program included two components: EdReady, a little open online course (LOOC) platform and cybermentors. This session will present lessons from the pilot, based on program data and feedback surveys, as to whether the intended goal was met. Best practices for e-learning, college readiness preparation and online mentoring formed the foundation for this pilot program and will be discussed as part of the presentation. The presentation will also discuss future plans for implementing EdReady and cymbermentoring to a wider audience.

Presider: Tim Griffin, University of Western Sydney
