Our Intended Audience For the purposes of this demo, the target population is... college faculty - tenured and untenured minimum of a master’s degree in their content area, some with a PhD They may not have organized their course content around the competencies to be attained by the students

Purpose of demo? Purpose of C Central? Not sure which Q to answer To be added later (check Module 6 for ideas) Will include purpose of Curriculum Central

Purpose of this Demonstration How to make a course inactive How to update a course outline beginning with the skeletal version in Curriculum Central How to create a new course in Curriculum Central

Purpose of this module Our project will focus on how to prepare three types of course outlines used by Kapi’olani Community College, a progression of whole problems. The project will focus on specific sections of outlines to (1) make a course inactive, (2) update a course that exists in skeletal version, or (3) create a new course.

What happens after Curriculum Central? Course changes made and approved in Curriculum Central will annually (each academic year) be reflected in the official college catalog and will be input into Banner, the UH ten-campus system registration database.

Purposes of a course outline database Create and archive course outlines to provide documentation to accreditation teams as well as other campuses in the UH system Provide official information for college catalog Provide accurate information for registration system

Approval Process

Imagine... Your degree/certificate program is changing You have a consistently low enrolled course You no longer have a qualified content expert You just don’t have time to update before the accreditation team visit Make the course inactive!!! One year grace period – breathing space !!!
