Preparing for the Fall Semester: What You Need to Consider

Here are a few key things to keep in mind as you prepare for the Fall semester: 

Faculty Orientation – the week of August 19 
Faculty Orientation is designed to provide non-full-time and new full-time instructors with helpful training and teaching and learning support in preparation for a successful teaching experience at Humber including sessions on “Getting Ready to Teach at Humber” and “Getting Started in Blackboard”. 
 
Registration will open via the Programs & Events page on our website in the coming weeks. Please watch Communiqué for updates. 

Blackboard Courses for Fall 
Live Blackboard courses for the Fall semester will be available to teaching faculty around the start of August and will show up under the “Upcoming Courses” tab at learn.humber.ca. 

Blackboard Backup Reminder 
Please don’t forget to back up and archive any courses that have now ended, as Blackboard courses are deleted after a year and a month in alignment with our file management processes.  

Fall 2022 course content will be deleted at the end of September in Fall 2024. We recommend getting ahead of the game and backing up any completed courses now. Helpful information on backing up courses can be found online.

For additional support, please browse our teaching resources or contact the IL Support Centre
