We are an interdisciplinary Humber team working on a Pillar 3 Innovative Learning project titled, Teaching Students To Research & Write With Integrity In The Digital Age – A Faculty Program. Our project goal is to create a toolkit for faculty who wish to learn more about artificial intelligence and ways to engage with it in teaching and learning settings.

We also want to curate faculty/instructor exemplars that demonstrate how artificial intelligence can be used wisely in higher education. If you are a faculty/instructor at Humber who has engaged your students in using artificial intelligence to learn, we would love to hear from you. Our hope is to have these examples available for others to consider as they look to operationalize artificial intelligence in their courses.

If you have an example to share or want more information about this request, please contact the Pillar 3 Project lead, Jennie Miron at jennie.miron@humber.ca.

As a part of Humber ITS’ ongoing multi-factor authentication project, MFA coverage for students will be expanding in the fall to include a wider range of applications.

As of Monday, November 6, all applications that require username@humber.ca login credentials will benefit from the added layer of security by requiring MFA at sign-in. MFA will only be prompted for students when they log in with their Humber login credentials off-campus, roughly every seven days.

In addition to the expanded MFA coverage for students, as of Thursday, November 30, 2023, you will no longer be able to skip the prompt to install the Microsoft Authenticator app. Microsoft is enhancing the MFA experience for all users. If you typically use SMS or voice methods for authentication, you will soon be required to use the Authenticator app as your primary method when logging into your M365 account. This change is designed to provide a more secure form of MFA compared to SMS and voice methods.  

For new users, download the Authenticator app from the Google Play Store or from the Apple App Store today.  

Have any questions? Please refer to our FAQs. If you run into any issues, please contact the IT Support Centre at 416.675.6622 x8888 or  humber.ca/techtalk (24x7 live chat) or Tech Zone for drop-in support at North, Lakeshore and IGS from Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Do you consider yourself a strong ally of the 2SLGBTQ+ community here at Humber? Humber's 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group would like to connect with you!

The 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) is inviting strong allies to join our mailing list. The ERG helps advance a culture at Humber that is accepting and inclusive for all 2SLGBTQ+ staff, faculty and students through outreach, community development, events, and consultation. In our mailing list, we'll invite you to 2SLGBTQ+ themed talks, panels and activities that everyone can attend.

Allyship is about showing up when the 2SLGBTQ+ community needs your support. By coming to the events that the ERG is holding, you are showing that you support the work that your 2SLGBTQ+ colleagues do. We often hear that some staff or faculty would have attended a particular event if they had known about it. By being on our mailing list, you'll ensure that you'll never miss out on any of our upcoming events. As well, we'll keep you updated on commemorations and news that are affecting your 2SLGBTQ+ Humber colleagues.

If at any time you would no longer like to receive our emails, you can be removed from the mailing list. We understand - we all get a lot of emails!

Any Humber employees who consider themselves a strong 2SLGBTQ+ ally and are interested in joining this mailing list can indicate their interest by sending an email to co-chair Matthew Harris at matthew.harris@humber.ca.
