When it comes to transfer and mature students, there are myths that continue to persist as to who they are, how they perform in the classroom and their likelihood of persisting to graduation. 

In the studies below, learn how research is helping to debunk these myths:

• An Investigation and identification of the determinants of success of students who transfer to Trent University.
   
• The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) on Credential completion—new research from CAEL found that adult students who participate in PLA are 17 percent more likely to complete, compared to those without PLA (CAEL 2021)
   
• More research is needed about transfer students inside and outside the classroom.  We would like to challenge the Humber community to help fill these gaps by taking advantage of some of these amazing funding opportunities available provincially to get you started.

Humber Researchers are invited to participate in the Research Data Management Survey as part of the Humber College Institutional Research Data Management Strategy. Please complete this survey if you have engaged in scholarship, research, and creative activity (SRCA) and participated in data collection, creative production, analysis, and storage of SRCA research data in the last five years. 

The purpose of the Research Data Management Survey is to:

• Identity and fully understand the different types of data that are collected at Humber College;
• Determine how researchers collect, manage, and share their research data during their research;
• Provide recommendations for workshops and training to support best practices in research data management.

If you can spare 10 minutes, access the survey or QR Code and complete it by November 2, 2022.

For any questions about the survey,  please contact Rose-Marie Dolinar, Research Specialist, Office of Research & Innovation at rose-marie.dolinar@humber.ca.

Join Humber’s Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab for a three-day workshop with Mark Corl, SVP of Emergent Technology Development of Triveni Digital, and explore the ATSC 3.0 protocol stack in detail.

The ATSC 3.0 is an IP-based television terrestrial transmission standard currently rolling out in the U.S., The IP’s backbone enables datacasting, an IoT application, and it enables convergence with other IP-based networks, including LET/5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. The ATSC 3.0 system is the only IP-based of its kind and the most efficient one-to-many delivery system in the world.

3GPP (the global mobile standards development partnership project) recently approved a new study item to study non-3GPP broadcast technologies' potential inclusion in the 5G ecosystem. This would be alongside other non-3GPP RANs such as Wi-Fi, Satellite, Bluetooth, etc. The new study item has the potential to be a game-changer for broadcast technology, including ATSC3.0, and its success can pave the way to get broadcast receiver chips in phones.

There are many ways to interconnect ATSC 3.0 with a 5G system where it can serve as a capacity multiplier - at the PHY layer, the IP layer, the Core layer, and within the handset. The B²C Lab is installing a 5G core into the Lab in 2023 to facilitate further research, which will establish Humber College as the only industry research lab in North America with both ATSC 3.0 and 5GC ecosystems exploring convergence in broadcast-broadband technologies.

If you'd like to learn more about this new technology being developed at Humber’s B²C Lab, contact us and let's work together in this exciting new area of research.

Accessible Learning Services is working to enhance institutional EDI knowledge of disability and academic accessibility.

• Testing Services is available by appointment only for Humber and Guelph-Humber learners who are registered with Accessible Learning Services.
   
• Learners are required to make an appointment on our scheduling site prior to coming on site to complete testing. More information about the learner process can be found here. You can also review the step by step instructions in this video.
   
• Please note that learners may choose not to use Testing Services for every assessment.
   
• Learners must advise faculty prior to each assessment of their intent to utilize their testing accommodations and write in the Test Centre. Once this is confirmed with learners, faculty must submit their assessment to Testing Services no later than 3 days prior to their requested write date.
   
• At the time of booking their exam, learners can choose the date, time and location for their test and select the accommodation(s) they wish to activate.

Visit the Services for Faculty page for information regarding our test submission options and to access some frequently asked questions.

Please email accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for topics that you would like addressed through the Communiqué.
