Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Unpacking EFL students’ engagement with GAI in digital multimodal composing(University of Hawaii National Foreign Language Resource Center, 2024-09-14) Zhang, Yu; Zhang, Lawrence Jun; Jia, Li; Yang, YumeiWhile existing studies underscore the potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) to streamline digital multimodal composing (DMC) and elevate product quality, research systematically synthesizing learners’ multi-dimensional engagement with GAI in DMC remains limited. Adopting a qualitative research method, this study investigated eight Chinese EFL undergraduates’ cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement with GAI in DMC and the influencing factors. Data sources included semi-structured interviews, written reflections, screenshots, and final DMC products. The findings showed that, behaviorally, students leveraged different GAI tools to accomplish seven major goals, including textual content generation, analytical processing, content reorganization, content refinement, translation, task management, and multimodal content generation. Cognitively, students implemented four strategies to optimize GAI’s unsatisfactory output, namely, manual refining, revising prompts, negotiating with GAI, and leveraging the strengths and offsetting weaknesses of different GAI tools. Students expressed both positive and negative emotions towards GAI integration in DMC due to its affordances and limitations. Both individual and contextual factors influenced students’ engagement, including learner agency, GAI literacy, L2 proficiency, peer recognition, division of labor, and contextual limitations. Based on the findings, we propose a Model of Learner Engagement in GAI-assisted DMC and provide actionable insights for optimizing GAI-integrated DMC pedagogy.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , If Walls Could Talk: 150 Years of Change at Ali‘iōlani Hale(2025-10) Andrade, Troy J.H.; Schubert, Naomi K.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , A Tribute to a Legacy of Servant Leadership(2026) Andrade, Troy J.H.; Ayabe, Sarah D.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Oceania Newsletter / Nieuwsbrief Endnote Database Export(2026) van der Haar, RenéItem type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Unraveling Leptospira transmission in Hawaiʻi: Integrating feral swine, freshwater, and genomic surveillance(2026-04) Dahal, Prashant; Fressie, Liam F.; Norris, Michael H.; La, Thi Hau Au; Cook, Marie Therese; Smyser, Timothy; McMillan, Ian; Goldstein, Samuel M.Leptospirosis is a severe zoonotic threat in Hawaiʻi, with incidence rates 40 times the U.S. national average. Using a comprehensive One Health framework, this study investigated pathogenic Leptospira transmission dynamics across Maui, Hawaii, and Oʻahu. Freshwater analysis revealed widespread contamination, successfully recovering viable Leptospira belonging to L. interrogans group from over half of all samples. Furthermore, about 10% of feral swine tested positive, highlighting their critical role as environmental reservoirs shedding pathogens into streams.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Center on Disability Studies eNewsletter, September 2026(2026-09-01) Miller, Meghan; Alo, Claire; Moriyasu, Annie; Ochmanek, Eric; Whiteside, Sierra; Yokoyama, Robert; Takahashi, Kiriko; Kia, Rosalind; Yi, Sandie; Schlaack, Nicole; Kitami, Yoko; Murphy, Kelle; Halzel, Melody; Salazar, Tani Kalei; Tam, Sheanae; Dunn, Hugh; Leong, Genesis M.K.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Building the space workforce through experiential learning: A university curriculum for space systems education(Hawaiʻi Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, 2026-08-01) Englert, Peter; Edmonson, William W.; Chiang, I-Chant A.The space economy's growth is constrained by a shortage of professionals with hands-on experience in the design, build, and operation of space systems. This report presents the Space Engineering Technology (SET) curriculum, a four-semester university course sequence that develops space-workforce capability through experiential learning: student cohorts design, build, test, launch, and operate real spacecraft and science payloads. The curriculum's distinctive dual-track architecture divides each student generation into a payload cohort and a spacecraft cohort that follow parallel, systems-engineering-driven course sequences and are coupled by a formal handover, in which the payload cohort delivers a tested, calibrated instrument to the spacecraft cohort for integration and flight. Model-based systems engineering, implemented in an open-source digital engineering platform, runs as a continuous thread through all four semesters, carrying each design from mission requirements through formal design reviews to build authorization, verification, and mission operations. The curriculum distills more than a decade of curriculum development and six years of delivery experience from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's Earth and Planetary Exploration Technology program and is designed for adoption by universities with or without established engineering programs. The report documents the complete module-level schedules for both cohort tracks across all four courses, the associated review-gate structure, and the considerations governing implementation. This report will provide the design baseline for subsequent evaluation studies of the program.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Shaping Administrative Law for a Participatory Democracy(2026) Turcan, Kamaile A.N.
