When:
January 24, 2022

Information Technology Services is excited to announce to the Humber community that our mobile wayfinding app Campus Compass has been upgraded and improved! 

An improved user interface will help get you around and access services at Humber's North, Lakeshore, International Graduate School and University of Guelph-Humber campuses. Getting from point A to B at Humber has never been easier.

 Improvements in the new version include: 

  • New, easy to use app design
  • Addition of Lakeshore Campus maps
  • Addition of IGS Campus maps
  • Dine On / Dining Nearby Campus pages to locate options for food and drink
  • Real-time "Tech talk" support chat for immediate technical assistance
  • Real-time transit schedules for Lakeshore and IGS Campuses
  • Improved search functionality for all spaces and services 
  • New logo and branded theme
  • Humber live Twitter feeds

The new version went live on January 17, 2022. Depending on your mobile device settings, the Campus Compass app will either automatically update, or you must update it manually.

The current app version will be decommissioned as of January 31, 2022, and will no longer function, so the app update process is required to continue using Campus Compass.

If you need help with the update process, please follow these easy to use instructions for Apple or Android devices. 

Content is king! 

As your team makes plans and decisions for the winter term, don’t forget to submit any updated information from your area to the Campus Compass app. That includes hours of operation, or whether your area will be open or closed for the upcoming winter semester. Up to date information is vital for getting people around campus. To submit your placemark content updates, use our form at the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/Bd70zVJKp0

B²C Lab partners with Faculty of Media and Creative Arts for a Filming Project to create Visual and Audio Test Sequences

Humber College is leading the way towards the development of Canada’s first Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab to explore multisectoral data delivery applications enabled by the new Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television broadcast standard, set to replace the current ATSC 1.0 standard in North America. The B²C Lab is now lit up with ATSC 3.0 in phase one of the lab's operations beginning in the new year.

One of B²C Lab’s mandates is to foster collaboration among the Humber community by involving faculty, students, and industry partners in its innovative projects. A prominent example of its collaborative endeavour is a filming project to create visual and audio test sequences led by Professor Iljo Kotorencev, Faculty of Media & Creative Arts (FMCA). Along with Daniel Ferreira and Domenic Paron, these third-year students in Film and Television Production (FMTV) advanced diploma program at Humber are the first to be actively contributing to building research capacity for the new lab. As part of the project, the team has filmed several visual sequences that will be edited and adapted specifically for the B²C Lab’s use-case applications.

To learn more about the B²C Lab, please visit the website.

To learn more about research opportunities for faculty and students, please contact Orest Sushko, B²C Lab Director at orest.sushko@humber.ca.

The Staff Lounge Podcast: Back to Class? How to Navigate Change

New episode of The Staff Lounge podcast launches today.

Back to Class? How to Navigate Change

Transitions can be tricky, especially now, in these times of rapid and frequent change. Approaching the long anticipated shift back to in-person teaching, we chat with Innovative Learning secondees Nicole Chuchmach and David Vazquez-Abrams and ask how they are preparing for the classroom. What did they learn from the online experience? Are there valuable lessons to take back to face-to-face teaching? We hear about the continued need for flexibility and compassion.

“It’s been a learning experience for sure. And there are positives to take away from it, like those extra supplemental bits from teaching online that can now be incorporated into the in-person learning.” 
— David Vazquez-Abrams, PC Design Foundation, Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology; Secondee, Innovative Learning

“Students really want that education and that sense of community. They’re willing to learn in a different timezone and wake up at 3 in the morning and listen to our lectures. [Many have] full time jobs and are willing to do this. I want to make sure I have content in multiple formats for them.” 
— Nicole Chuchmach, Professor Faculty of Business; Secondee, Innovative Learning
