Join us at our Final Year Technology Capstone Showcase Expo on Friday, April 12, 2024. This exciting event will take place at the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation at North campus from 2 to 5 p.m.

More than 140 tech capstone projects, sponsored by the Canadian Tech Industry, will be on display. This will be a great opportunity to see Humber’s ICT Engineering graduates’ solutions to real-world problems and network with Humber students, faculty and industry partners.

These senior level projects represent programs in Information Systems, Cloud Computing, Computer Programming, Computer Programming & Analysis, Computer Systems Technician – IT Infrastructure & Services, Enterprise Software Development, IGS - Enterprise Software Development, IGS - Info Tech Solutions, Info Tech Solutions, and Wireless Telecommunications.

Join us on April 11 from 12 to 1:30 p.m. for the final Academic Integrity Community of Practice Speaker Series: Artificial Unintelligence? Preparing students for the opportunities and challenges of generative AI.

All are welcome to join. Contact Jennie Miron for the link to the session (jennie.miron@humber.ca).

Are you wondering how generative AI is going to influence your teaching? How do we prepare our students for a world which is already embracing generative AI, and will continue to adopt tools like ChatGPT at a rapid pace? Can we encourage the use of these tools in the classroom without encouraging inadvertent plagiarism? This seminar will address these questions and more. It will cover what GenAI is and is not, discuss the real and imagined dangers of generative AI, and help to introduce how we can prepare our students for both the opportunities and drawbacks of these tools.

This session will be led by Dr. Jaigris Hodson, Arvind Kang, and Najeeb Ahmed.

Speaker bios

Jaigris Hodson is the Canada Research Chair (tier 2) in Digital Communication for the Public Interest. Her SSHRC and CIHR funded research examines the ways that misinformation can be mitigated through digital communication efforts, particularly those targeted at the research community. Thus her current work examines such interdisciplinary topics as educational interventions to address COVID-19 related misinformation, the online harassment of diverse researchers, the discourses of conspiracy theories, and ecological approaches to understanding misinformation in a modern context.

Najeeb Ahmed is a librarian at Humber College Libraries and supports the Longo Faculty of Business (North), the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology (FAST) and the Humber International Graduate School (IGS). When not working, Najeeb likes hiking in urban settings, exploring nature pockets, and surviving in the concrete urban jungle.

Additionally, he is the librarian supporting the Humber College Office of Research & Innovation. He’s also a dog dad and loves all things poetry, music, movies... and basketball of course!
