The Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE), Humber Press, Office of Research & Innovation (ORI), is pleased to announce that the JIPE Submissions Handbook has recently been updated to better reflect the needs of the research and innovation community at Humber and beyond. The highlight of the changes include the following:

  • Announcement about JIPE’s yearly general issue and special issues
  • Update to the JIPE submissions checklist
  • Resources for effective visual storytelling

JIPE is an online, open-access journal for peer-reviewed papers that mobilize knowledge and insights generated by the global polytechnic community. JIPE is electronically published by Humber Press at Humber College’s Office of Research & Innovation.

JIPE publishes original research papers, review articles, brief reports, book reviews and our “micro-dissemination” options: innovation spotlights and essays. JIPE welcomes research stories and manuscripts from seasoned and emerging researchers from across the polytechnic and community college sectors, both within and outside Canada. Students/research assistants are also encouraged to submit manuscripts under the supervision of a faculty member.

Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis. Please visit jipe.ca to learn more. Questions may be directed to humberpress@humber.ca.

Accessible Learning Services shares some best practices considerations:

  • A requirement is essential when it can be illustrated that failure to demonstrate competency in a specific manner would prevent a student from meeting the learning outcome(s). 

  • When considering the type of assessment(s) to be utilized for your course, ensure there is a rational connection between the assessment format and the knowledge being assessed.  

  • Consider the diverse learning styles of students in your course when selecting assessment formats. 

  • Identify a variety of formats that can achieve the same learning outcome. Then, allow students to select which assessment(s) to do. 

  • Three important questions to assist in determining essential requirements can be found on the ALS website.

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.
