Ari & Peter look exactly the same as 20 years ago! Wow! Besides helping to prepare tomorrow's leaders, LTEC is also a fountain of youth.
Congratulations to the LTEC Graduate Class of 2023! 🎓🎉
We commend you for your accomplishments and wish you the best for your future endeavors! Mahalo nui loa to everyone who has contributed to the success of the LTEC Graduation Party. We hope you had a great time and indulged in the delicious food. Please enjoy these recap photos from the party! 🥳 Special thank you to our LTEC student BinBin Dou for capturing these special moments.
Very exciting, Congratulations to everyone for the hard work!
Congratulations 2023 grads.
Allowing college students taking asynchronous courses to apply self-regulated learning (SRL) actively may facilitate academic performance, comprehension, and retention of course content. Mahalo Dr. Davilla for sharing your findings in applying the SRL approach to online undergraduate classes, where her study “identified ID elements that supported self-regulatory skills. Findings revealed five areas of focus (i.e., instructor support, personal timeline, check performance, course syllabus, and expectation setting) as important and where instructional designers intentionally incorporated these types of SRL elements into their design. This study expanded and enhanced the understanding of how the complex range of SRL processes and self-regulation profiles intersect with ID strategies used in online learning”. Congratulations and our LTEC Ohana is very proud of you for passing your dissertation defense!
Please feel free to reach out to ltec@hawaii.edu if you have career or family news that you want to share. We would love to hear from you and celebrate your accomplishments!

Angellyn Calaro, LTEC's student assistant, is graduating this Spring 2023 with her Business degree (major in marketing). Angellyn aka Ang aka Angie joined LTEC in 2021, and despite being trained and only working online from her home office initially, with Ang’s brilliance, commitment and maturity above her age, she proved the effectiveness of online training (a little plug for LTEC woot woot), and has provided excellent student services and departmental support to fellow students, staff and faculty. All the amazing videos you have seen since 2021 were created by this video editing wiz! We are going to miss her big smile, her dedication to Ohana, generosity and her big heart that brings so much warmth and energy to the department. Though we are very sad that you are leaving us, we are so happy to share in the excitement of your graduation, and we are so very proud of you! Congratulations Angellyn and A Hui Hou!

Congratulations to Doctor Kim.
It is with heavy heart that we at LTEC must share the recent passing of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Grace Lin. She passed peacefully surrounded by her family in Taiwan. Dr. Lin was a dedicated instructor and exceptional person. She will be sorely missed.
Oh no. Thank you for sharing this. My sincerest condolences and prayers to the Lin family. I remember Dr Lin for her fun, spunky, personality, her engaging approach to teaching, and her kindness. ❤️
Such sad news... Dr Grace was an inspiration to me as I worked on my Masters. I will always remember the profound effect she had on my life. RIP 💔
Dr. Grace was an incredible professor and friend. Sending my heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and our LTEC faculty, staff, and ohana.
My deepest condolences to Dr. Lin’s family.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Dr. Grace was such an inspiration to us all. Taking Dr. Grace's LTEC 647 B class was the reason that I chose to do my PhD in the LTEC program. My thoughts are with her family, friends, colleagues, and students. ❤️🙏🏽
UHM Learning Design & Technology. Omg 😥. I am so so sad to hear the news. I liked Dr. Grace Lin a lot. My sincere condolences to her family and the LTEC Ohana.
Dr. Lin was my advisor. I'm so sorry she's gone. Rest in love.
