Educational Technology and Accessibility

Faculty will be able to assess variability in various learning environments in order to establish accessibility needs and select edtech tools to support their access.  

Equity and Anti-Oppressive Teaching in Post-Secondary Education 
Intended to build capacity among Humber College staff in relation to equitable and anti-oppressive teaching. Participants will become familiar with the core tenets of equitable and anti-oppressive teaching, including identifying one’s own positionality, distinguishing between equality and equity, and engaging in critical self-reflexivity.  

Facilitating Learning 
Engages faculty to think about the strategies to create impactful and intentional learning experiences. Throughout the MC, faculty will consider how the facilitation of content – whether in a classroom or other setting – can support learning and professional development.  

Teaching and Learning in HyFlex Environments 
Introduces faculty to the methods, practices, and tools for adapting an existing in-person lesson plan for HyFlex teaching.
