I am pleased to announce that Gian Michele Pileri has joined the CTL team in the new role as Educational Technologist Specialist. Gian is a digital media specialist with more than 18 years of production and teaching experience across a number of multimedia disciplines including: entertainment, fashion, education, and service industries. Most recently, Gian held similar roles at McMaster University and at the University of Guelph Humber. Gian will fill a pivotal role in supporting faculty in their exploration, experimentation and use of educational technologies to support learning. Specifically, he will work directly with faculty to identify and demonstrate how specific technologies can influence and support pedagogical approaches for learning in the digital age. Gian completed his postsecondary education in Fine Arts at The European Institute of Design in Milan, Italy and completed a secondary degree in Audio-Visual and Communication Technologies from the Università degli Studi di Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy. As an Educational Technology Specialist, Gian’s combined education and experience will support faculty with new insights and usage scenarios and will provide personable and informed technology advice.  We are excited to have Gian join the CTL team! Please join me in welcoming him to the Humber family.
