The Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hawai\u2019i Pacific University (HPU) Doctor of Physical Therapy program offers an innovative 24-month hybrid curriculum, blending distance education, on-campus lab immersion sessions, and clinical education experiences, all set within a multicultural learning environment. This unique structure allows not only students from across the United States to attend HPU but also helps the university combat faculty shortages with the remote flexibility being offered to faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ensur<\/strong>ing faculty and students have reliable resources that support HPU\u2019s hybrid curriculum and enable a higher level<\/strong> of le<\/strong>a<\/strong>rning during class time.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

HPU\u2019s eight-week terms are typically split up between six weeks of online didactic learning and two-weeks of on-campus lab immersion. \u201cCourses move at a very fast pace. We\u2019re covering multiple body systems in any given week,\u201d shares Dr. Kristen Johnson, Assistant Dean of Curriculum and Innovation at HPU. When preparing for their first cohort of students in 2021, HPU sought out reliable, on-demand digital resources to save faculty time as they built out course work. After picking the textbook, they discovered Osmosis; a ready-made supplemental resource that supported their curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HPU collaborated with Osmosis to streamline course development, offering high-quality, digestible content to support asynchronous teaching and learning. Faculty integrate Osmosis resources into their curricula which saves faculty time and supports the reinforcement of key concepts through various learning modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Osmosis continues to provide unique content on a platform that students can take anywhere in their busy, on-the-go lifestyles for continuous learning and success. Students gravitate towards Osmosis videos when they are looking to review a concept again or differently. The Osmosis whiteboard-style videos keep students engaged and provide a new way to reinforce learnings. \u201cStudents like the Osmosis animations. It\u2019s very well done,\u201d says Dr. Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration of Osmosis gives faculty flexible options to assign and monitor student asynchronous learning with customized playlists. By assigning students pre-work to prime learning, faculty can begin lectures at a higher level and have more time for application and small-group learning. Dr. Johnson utilizes Osmosis when teaching neuropathology, \u201cSometimes Osmosis is required viewing and sometimes it\u2019s listed as optional viewing, depending on how it meshes with the textbook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osmosis videos also help establish a baseline of knowledge for students, creating discussion points during student-faculty meetings. Dr. Johnson has found that students will bring up Osmosis videos during office hours after identifying their own learning gaps. \u201cThey\u2019ll say, \u2018can you tell me a little bit more about this,\u2019 or, \u2018this was really technical, could you unpack that a little bit as it relates to an Osmosis video?\u2019\u201d Productive interactions like this help guide students in the right direction before they become at-risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
