Laulima
Develop more experiential, problem-based, service-based and cultural-based learning opportunities
Put learning and students first
Run more efficiently - work together as a SYSTEM to achieve cost savings
Pay ourselves first not outsiders
Make use of our excess capacity
PRIMARY CONCEPTS
THE 24 HOUR CAMPUSTHE PROBLEM: EXCESS CAPACITY
7:30am-7:30 pmWe are shut 12
hours
we operate,Generally speaking
If we were in real estate If we were in the hotel industry
If we were in real estate If we were in the hotel industry
We’d be out of business!
We are a 24 hour society and the jobs many of our students
are training for are:
Fire and Safety
Food Service
Health Care
Law Enforcement
Hospitality
“I can’t get my classes,
they aren’t offered
when I need them or
they closed early.”
STUDENTS ALWAYS COMPLAIN
“I ’d love to go back to
school but I can’t quit
my job. Classes aren’t
offered when I need
them.”
STUDENTS ALWAYS COMPLAIN
July private schools start
- traffic is okay
O’AHU TRAFFIC
July DOE starts - traffic is tighter
but still manageable
July private schools start
- traffic is okay
O’AHU TRAFFIC
July DOE starts - traffic is tighter
but still manageable
July private schools start
- traffic is okay
O’AHU TRAFFIC
We start carmageddonWE ARE THE PROBLEM!
In IT when the network slows down you either upgrade your network
(faster cables or routers)
OR YOU ADJUST THE TRAFFIC PATTERN
LESS TRAFFIC
If we spread out the load of our class offerings we can reduce the
traffic problem on O’ahu
BIOLOGICALLY WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT
THE PROBLEM
Based on human body clock
research we know certain
fields or endeavors are best
taught or done at certain
times of day...
PHYSIOLOGICALLY WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT
THE PROBLEM
We tried to expand our capacity
through DE
DE VS. IN-PERSON
DE works best...
for theory based courses
for highly motivated students
for technically inclined students
Moving to a 24-Hour Based Campus
!!Pilot runnin
g classes till midnight
!!Run classes
out of ONE building
(lower energy cost) su
ch as the
library or learning commons which
is the most secured and equipp
ed
building on campus
Offer classes on MW and TR.
Monday and Tuesday offer a
Gen Ed
course EVERYONE needs to take
English, Math or History
!!WR offer a lab c
ourse that you must
show up to take in person b
ecause
you can’t teach it online like
a CTE
lab class, a science lab or a
rt lab
THE RESULT
We will have expanded our capacity to enroll more students !Those who fight Ewa traffic will have an easier commute (20-40 minutes versus 75-90 minutes)

The Hawaiian land system that ran from the mountain to the sea where irrigation channels fed into kalo fields and other gardens
which all fed into fishponds down at the shoreline.

SUMMARY
Increase our Hawaiian sense of place !New experiential learning opportunities for students !More efficient fiscal operation !Potential to patent undergraduate research !New streams of revenue for the University
TRANSLATION Unite to move forward !EXPLANATION By working together we make progress. This saying would be especially applicable to the Hawaiians on their canoes where each paddler would have to pull the paddles together on command in order to make the canoe move forward quickly.
SUMMARY
‘Olelo No’eauPupukahi i holom
ua
TRANSLATION Paddle together, bail, paddle; paddle, bail; paddle towards the land !EXPLANATION If everybody works together the work will be done quickly. On inter-island trips, the two most important tools besides the sail were the paddles and the bailer. In heavy seas, the water would wash over the boat and so one or more natives would be constant bailing. Others would be paddling together on command to reach their destination in the shortest time.
