Office of Information Practices

December 20, 2011

As our holiday gift to you, the state Office of Information Practices is pleased to announce that two new training videos have been posted on our website at hawaii.gov/oip! One video provides in-depth training on the Uniform Information Practices Act, while the other explains the Sunshine Law. Each video is a PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and is in two parts, which will take a total of approximately 1-½ hours to complete.

OIP is using technology to efficiently leverage its limited resources. These on-line videos provide the same content that OIP formerly presented in person, and they are now more readily available 24/7 to all government agencies as well as members of the public. By asking agencies to first view these videos for basic training on the open government laws, OIP can more effectively follow-up with specialized in-person training to answer questions and focus on agencies’ specific areas of concern.

This will be OIP’s final What’s New for 2011. We’ll be back with more next year. In the meantime, Mele Kalikimaka and Hauoli Makahiki Hou!
