Humber has always been a pioneer in education, and in accordance with this vision, dozens of projects are implemented by Humber every year. Humber delivers high quality outcomes, while catering to the expectations of our clients and stakeholders. Managing these projects effectively to ensure successful completion is crucial. We know that Humber has great people that are key to making these projects successful. But are there other tools that the organization uses to help make their projects successful that could help me too?

In fact, one of the biggest tools being used is Humber’s project management methodology. This tool is the foundation of highly effective project management practices at Humber. It has all the standards, best practices, templates, and guidelines to help you to lead your projects successfully.

We know that projects are not only run by Facilities, Finance and ITS. There are so many other projects happening in the organization that are led by our administrative and faculty teams. We have created a series of short videos with the aim of socializing the value of Humber’s project management methodology. We hope that these will highlight for the Humber community, the tools that they might use to help them manage their projects.

View all of Humber’s project management tools and resources. Stay tuned for upcoming future videos!

Lumen5 is the go-to tool for creating short text-based videos.

It uses AI technology to automatically turn any chunk of text into a full-fledged video.

Lumen5 will choose stock images and music that matches your text.

You can also quickly make changes to “make it your own.”

As faculty, you can use it for free, and you’ve got plenty of support if you need it.

You can use Lumen5 for course trailers, welcome videos, unit or course summaries, and more! To get a sense of what Lumen5 can do, check out how this article looks as a Lumen5 video:

Dear Humber community,

Dr. Linda Jin-Troendle, BA, MA, MBA, MSc, DBA, Program Coordinator, Global Business Management postgrad program in the Faculty of Business, has accepted the role of Chair, School of Management in the Business Centre at George Brown College, St. James Campus, effective February 1, 2022. While we are sad to see Linda leave, we are delighted to see her take on this new opportunity and progress her academic career.

Linda joined Humber as a part time instructor in 1992. Over the next 21 years she taught a variety of accounting and finance courses in the Business Management, Business Administration and Financial Services programs. In 2013 she became full time Professor and Program Coordinator for the Global Business Management postgrad program. Linda has since played key roles in revising and updating the program’s curriculum and implementing the semester stream options in the program’s third and fourth semester, while completing her MSc and DBA. She has been instrumental in helping many faculty transition to online teaching, and in helping lead the movement of course outlines to COSSID. More recently she has coordinated the Global Business Management program’s preparation for the upcoming CQAAP Audit, while acting as Co-Chair of the International Graduate School’s faculty community of practice.

George Brown College will certainly benefit from her strong interpersonal, organizational and leadership skills.

Linda will be greatly missed here at Humber.

Senior Dean, Faculty of Business

Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility: 

  • Post reminders on Blackboard (Humber) or CourseLink (Guelph-Humber) of upcoming test/exam dates. 

  • Remind students to notify you in advance if they require test/exam accommodations.  

  • Consider creating two (2) versions of each test/exam to cover situations where students may need to write on a different day than the rest of the class for disability-related reasons or other extenuating circumstances. 

  • Consider opening the test/exam for a window of time (e.g. 24 hours) to allow students some additional flexibility.  

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.
