Humber’s quarterly research and innovation magazine SPARK Issue #5 is here!

Humber’s quarterly research and innovation magazine SPARK Issue #5 is here!

SPARK Issue #5 shines the spotlight on creativity and applied research projects. At Humber, expressions of creativity often extend far beyond the individual—its effect rippling across various channels to find its way to classrooms, workshops, research projects and the broader community. The new issue invites you to explore five inspiring expressions of creativity from the Humber community.

In SPARK Issue #5, you will also learn about applied research projects conducted by Humber faculty members, researchers and industry partners, who are continually solving new challenges and making a difference in the community. From creating robotic painting arms to improving the digital transformation of Ontario’s alternative dispute resolution sector, Humber’s researchers and scholars demonstrate that the sky is the limit when it comes to innovative applied research projects.

With a welcoming editor’s note from Anju Kakkar, managing editor, Humber Press, ORI, the new issue also includes contributions from ORI’s associate deans and a short Q&A with the authors of three research studies published in the 2022 special issue of the Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE). The research studies address the timely subject of responding to challenges in innovative and sustainable ways.

No matter where your curiosity lies, SPARK is here to inspire you in your research and innovation journey.

Humber College has released a pair of transformative plans that will help shape and guide the future of the college for the next several years. 

The Digital Campus Plan and the Academic Plan are forward-looking, three-year documents that identify future-focused priorities and strategic opportunities to support ongoing teaching and learning innovation at Humber. The two plans, which are for the years 2023 to 2026, were developed simultaneously and with close integration. 

The plans were developed to align and integrate with Humber’s EDI Framework and are guided by the college’s commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and Indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing to ensure that equity-deserving groups are supported. 

Academic Plan priorities 

The Academic Plan has identified three priorities:

  • Expanding Humber’s range of credentials, pathways, and recognition of prior learning processes to support transitions between high school, post-secondary education, and employment; 
  • Creating flexible program and course delivery options that enable students to personalize their learning experience while meeting their long- and short-term educational goals;  
  • Supporting faculty and staff to initiate projects that enable innovation and create new ways of teaching and learning at Humber. 

Digital Campus plan priorities 

The Digital Campus Plan has also identified three priorities: 

  • Developing the digital fluency of Humber’s students, faculty and staff so they can be engaged global citizens; 
  • Simplifying and personalizing the experience for prospects, applicants, students, learners and alumni as they explore what Humber has to offer and access services; 
  • Supporting Humber employees in the transformation and the future of work so they can collaborate, be effective and stay connected with campus culture. 

View the new Digital Campus Plan and the Academic Plan webpages, and view the full the story on Humber Today.

A recap video of the event will be shared in the coming days.

Accessible Learning Services shares some helpful considerations to support learners' group work requirements:

  • Finding a group can present specific barriers for students with disabilities. It can be very helpful to randomly assign students to groups. 

  • Finding one other student to pair-up may be more manageable for students. Consider allowing students to find a pair and then assign pairs to groups.  

  • Some students may experience disability-related barriers to interpersonal communication. Should difficulties arise within their group, support students in addressing the concerns.  

  • Provide sufficient time for the group work to be completed. If students are required to meet outside of class time, students may have disability-related reasons that they need to be able to plan for group meetings in advance e.g., booking an ASL interpreter, arranging for transportation.  

  • Students may require an alternative to group work as an accommodation. Plan for this in advance by having an individual assignment prepared that achieves the same learning outcomes.  

Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities. 

Please email us at accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for key accessibility-related topics that you would like us to address through the Communiqué.
