 * Presenter:**

New faculty are faced with unraveling a myriad of information; from university structure and values to expectations for performance and responsibilities. Traditional face-to-face orientations however do not always sufficiently address new faculty concerns. Time constraints and a lack of collegial relations are cited as predominant sources of stress for new faculty. And while new faculty express a desire for guidance, they also want autonomy to figure things out on their own. The purpose of this project was to develop and evaluate online video as a method of delivering advice and policy information from current to newly-hired faculty at the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s College of Education (COE). The videos will be part of a 12-week hybrid orientation course which includes three face-to-face meetings and six asynchronous modules. Eleven COE faculty were interviewed on camera. Examples of topics discussed include gaining tenure and promotion, teaching, research, and departmental politics. Recently hired and veteran faculty then reviewed interview segments and evaluated them for accuracy, engagement and satisfaction.
