 * Introduction to Animation **

Hawaii’s population suffer from a lack of educational programs which will prepare them with skills for the jobs that are created on these islands and on the continental United States. This project intends to create an Introduction to Animation course to support Hawaii’s economy, workforce development and improve access and flow of education in Hawaii. It also intends to promote economic development by providing development of essential skills and strengthen the liberal arts and career technical program at Leeward CC. The major goal in this module is to teach the basic principles of animation. It is expected that the students will achieve the following learning outcomes: recognize the 12 principles of animation and compose a basic key-frame digital animation time-lines using computer software. The audience for this course will include learners from all the Hawaiian Islands and perhaps from the Continental United States, adults and seniors who have graduated from high school and have taken Eng 22, an introductory English class.  The procedures were as follows: a request for Laulima site was made, a selection for specific sub topics for content breakdown in the module was made, gathering of data and design preliminary framework for planning documents was done, creating and working on the planning documents and beginning implementation in Laulima were the next steps. Working on putting contents of the module together followed. The expected results will include student’s knowledge of the basic principles of animation and also of digital frame-by-frame animation. Hopefully, these outcomes will increase Hawaiian’s workforce potential.
