Workshops

A workshop is a 45 or 75 minute session for you to share ideas with your colleagues at Humber. Examples of workshops could include new initiatives, emerging trends, research, innovative teaching and learning practices, interdisciplinary projects, areas of expertise, topics of general interest, etc. Your workshop should be interactive and connected to the theme Amplify whenever possible.

Marketplace

Marketplace Exchange is a fair where faculties and departments come to showcase what they do and how they support the Humber community both internally and externally.

This year, we plan to have a Virtual Marketplace, where we are inviting different vendors to set-up a virtual promotional booth. Exhibitors can highlight recent, current or future Humber projects, or initiatives. This is a great opportunity to bring the Humber community together for conversation, sharing and networking.

Deadline for Proposals: April 26, 2021

As we navigate the current challenges faced worldwide, there is a growing conversation around the topic of authentic, empathetic and wise leadership. This week's article focuses on what it takes to be a wise, phronetic leader.

The origin of practical wisdom lies in the concept of ‘phronesis’ – an ancient Greek word – one of three ways of knowing as described by Aristotle (phronesis has been translated as practical wisdom, prudence, intellectual virtue)

Did You Know - OneDrive Sharing

Collaborating and sharing a document is so easy with OneDrive. Not too long ago, if you wanted to collaborate on a document, you would write a first draft, email it to your group, and each of them would edit it, but you could end up with multiple versions of the original document. 

Say goodbye to version 1, version 2, version 3 and so on and say hello to sharing with cloud documents. Everyone can edit the same document at the same time. The people editing the document are represented with a unique coloured flag that even shows where they are in the document.

There are multiple ways of sharing a document. You can use the Share button in most Microsoft 365 apps, or you can share within OneDrive.
