September 2, 2025 — Makati City. Mapúa University (Makati) ran a campus onboarding with Makarius Smart Learning, moving from exploration to production on AI-supported teaching. In one focused bootcamp, faculty teams converted active subjects into outcome-linked learning paths, designed consistent feedback flows, and wired early-support signals for students.
What the bootcamp covered
- Outcome → Activity Builder: Teams mapped course outcomes to weekly tasks and quick checks, aligning lab/studio work with program goals.
- Feedback & Rubric Studio: Instructors drafted comment prompts and rubric criteria that drive clear, actionable improvements—without losing educator voice.
- Student Support Signals: Triggers for timely outreach (missed prep, inactivity, low concept confidence) with a simple escalation map to advisors.
- Governance in Practice: Plain-English norms for responsible AI use, transparency, privacy, and academic integrity.
Platforms in use
- PathBuilder — structures outcome taxonomies, links tasks and rubrics, and surfaces mastery trends for instructors and program heads.
- FutureClassroom — supports HyFlex delivery, captures mini-lectures/demos, and streamlines participation tracking.
Ship list (produced at the session)
- Launch Kit per course: refreshed syllabus, first 2–3 modules, formative item bank, and calibrated rubrics.
- Feedback Pact: turnaround targets by artifact type and how AI assistance is disclosed to learners.
- Advising Triage Map: self-help → instructor consult → advisor handoff, with response expectations.
- AI-Use Clause: a short, student-facing statement on permitted assistance, citation, and originality.
Readiness indicators Mapúa Makati will watch
- Median feedback time on formative work during the opening weeks
- On-time submissions and participation trends in targeted sections
- Mastery movement on priority outcomes tied to licensure or capstone skills
- Faculty confidence with the tools and classroom norms
10–25–45 day plan
- Day 10: Quick health check on feedback times and engagement; tune rubrics or pacing as needed.
- Day 25: Compare pilot sections to baseline metrics; publish a one-page “what’s working” note for colleagues.
- Day 45: Expand to additional sections and finalize a lightweight operations guide for consistent, responsible use.
