This document describes the development of a web-based instructional module to help students understand their school's financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. The module uses videos, text, and quizzes to explain the SAP policy to its target audience of students at UH Maui College. It was formatively evaluated through expert reviews and usability testing with students. Evaluation results found that most students felt the module made the SAP policy useful and important, and would help them make better academic decisions. Most students also demonstrated an understanding of the key aspects of SAP policies after completing the module.

Problem statement chinese students are constrained by exam oriePOLY33
This social business aims to help Chinese students develop passions outside of exam-focused education. By providing counseling and apprenticeship opportunities, the organization wants 300+ students by 2026 to have identified career options beyond exams. The business and social goals are to give students more freedom and life satisfaction while facing less family and school pressure. Key assumptions include students having time for exploration and parents willingness to pay. Competition is exam-oriented education and lack of alternative career exposure for students in China. The organization believes its holistic counseling and hands-on learning experiences will better support students' well-being and development.

We’re hearing it everywhere: today’s workers are learning every day, in a variety of ways, on and offline. In fact, more than 70 percent of workers surveyed say they learned something useful for their job from an article, a video or a book in the last 24 hours. Yet at the organization level, very little data is captured on what employees are learning in the course of doing their jobs. Regularly, measurement ends when the training program is over, and the details captured are minimal.
With the rise in informal learning opportunities comes the increasing need for a mechanism to assess how well learners are retaining their newfound knowledge. Join CredSpark and Degreed to better understand:
Why it is essential to assess and capture metrics around informal learning
Best practices for implementing informal learning assessments as a method of engagement to reinforce the learning taking place.

Since my project was motivated by my own personal experience as a student as well as in the work I do now with college students; I wanted to quickly share my own SAP story.
1993
1994
2003: On probation but after about a year my completion rate improves so I’m eligible for aid; up until 2007
2007: In 2007, I learn that I have to do SAP appeal, it’s approved
2009: I get a SAP over ride, finish school, and graduate in Summer 2010
2010: I start at a new institution and a higher degree and I am eligible for aid
2013: Even now I am still not an expert, the gap represents the information that I was corrected by my SME’s. Many of the students I work with now have a similar story in that until it affects them they are unaware of the policy.
Thus, the purpose of this instructional design project was to develop a web-based module to explain the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for students at UH Maui College.
Many students at the University of Hawai`i Maui College (UHMC) receive some form of financial aid. According to UHMC’s Financial Aid Officer as of March 2013, 70% (2,771) of the students enrolled accepted the Federal aid they were offered; of those that received aid 85% (2,355) got Pell Grants (C. Bio, personal communication, March 4, 2013). Upon receiving aid the student inevitably accepts the responsibility of complying with the UH Maui College SAP policy. However, most students are not aware that such a policy exists until they are placed on financial aid suspension. Furthermore, by the time the student becomes responsive to the policy they are usually suspended from receiving aid and cannot afford the tuition expense. “Academic research confirms the importance of financial aid” (Executive Office of the President, 2009, p. 1). Thus, the purpose of this instructional design project was to develop a web-based module to explain the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for students at UH Maui College. 3,968Students enrolledFemale 65%, Male 35 %96% Pay Resident Tuition27 yrs. Average age< 18 13 %18 – 21 26 %22 + 61 % At UHMC student degree levels span from Academic Certificates to Bachelor Degrees. Figure 1 below shows a snapshot of selected characteristics of Maui College students from Spring 2013. It illustrates that a good portion of the population is made up of non-traditional students, meaning that these students generally work while attending school, have delayed enrollment into college from high school, and are supporting others. Therefore, aid is even more crucial to the success of this student population . Figure 1 Selected Characteristics of UH Maui College Studentshttps://www.hawaii.edu/institutionalresearch/openingEnrollmentDemographics Make sure the title for the figure matches APA requirements (or TCC template requirements).

According to UHMC’s Financial Aid Officer as of March 2013, 70% (2,771) of the students enrolled accepted the Federal aid they were offered; of those that received aid 85% (2,355) got Pell Grants (C. Bio, personal communication, March 4, 2013). Upon receiving aid the student inevitably accepts the responsibility of complying with the UH Maui College SAP policy. However, most students are not aware that such a policy exists until they are placed on financial aid suspension. Furthermore, by the time the student becomes responsive to the policy they are usually suspended from receiving aid and cannot afford the tuition expense. “Academic research confirms the importance of financial aid” (Executive Office of the President, 2009, p. 1). Thus, the purpose of this instructional design project was to develop a web-based module to explain the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for students at UH Maui College. 3,968Students enrolledFemale 65%, Male 35 %96% Pay Resident Tuition27 yrs. Average age< 18 13 %18 – 21 26 %22 + 61 % At UHMC student degree levels span from Academic Certificates to Bachelor Degrees. Figure 1 below shows a snapshot of selected characteristics of Maui College students from Spring 2013. It illustrates that a good portion of the population is made up of non-traditional students, meaning that these students generally work while attending school, have delayed enrollment into college from high school, and are supporting others. Therefore, aid is even more crucial to the success of this student population .

One – on – ones: One-on-one sessions were conducted and the notes recorded by the researcher were beneficial. One of the main observations noted was that in all 3 sessions each of the participants skipped either some or part of the module. They also all played the video but did not actually watch the videos. It appeared that they listened while exploring other parts of the page, sometimes scrolling down to the Quick Quiz Questions at the bottom and other times searching and reading the text.

One of the main lessons learned during this research project was the need to work closely with the Financial Aid Officer to ensure that the information is current and accurate. Also, if I could offer one tip for anyone else considering a similar project it would be to write better scenario questions so that application of knowledge can be more accurately assessed.
