Apple released the version of iOS 17.3 which includes a new "Stolen Device Protection" feature.
How does it work?
Stolen Device Protection is a new feature in iOS 17.3 that prevents unauthorized access to your device if it is lost or stolen. When you turn on Stolen Device Protection, your device will automatically lock itself with your FaceID and Passcode if it detects that it has been removed from your possession. You can also remotely lock your device using the Find My Phone app on another Apple device or iCloud.com. To unlock your device, you will need to verify your identity with FaceID or enter your Passcode and Recovery Key. You can reset your Recovery Key using your Apple ID and trusted phone number if you don't have your Recovery Key. Stolen Device Protection helps keep your data and Apple Pay information secure, even if your device falls into the wrong hands.
How to use Stolen Device Protection
Turning on Stolen Device Protection in four steps:
As we celebrate the importance of love today, we would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all faculty and staff who have supported Humber Gives this academic year. Thanks to you and other members from our supportive community, we were able to give out over 1,500 scholarships and bursaries to support Humber students along their educational journey.
We would also like to thank everyone who supported Orange Shirt Day this past September, either by taking part in the beautiful Walk for Reconciliation -- which offered a time for reflection and learning about the Residential School system -- or by donating to support emergency funds for Indigenous students at Humber.
Lastly, we are happy to share that Humber was recently able to award bursaries to extended society care students currently in foster care thanks, in big part, to the support we received from many generous faculty and staff as part of our Giving Tuesday campaign this past November.
As you can see, this truly is a supportive community. Thank you once again for continuing to spread love to Humber students.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Wanda Buote & Alvina Cassiani
Humber Gives Co-Chairs
Just like Valentine's Day is celebrated every February 14, Humber Love has become an annual tradition, telling the stories of graduates who met in Humber's hallways and classrooms.
This year, we tell the story of General Arts & Science alumni Martin Iyahen and Ndidi Arimah, who first locked eyes in class and built a loving relationship.
Leveraging Humber tech and the talent of Humber students, virtual and mixed reality helped take our happy couple on a unique trip down memory lane. They relived unforgettable moments like their first date and memorable trips and shared details of their future together.
Enjoy this 2024 Humber Love video!
A special thank you to our student contributors:
Jacob Bruce, Game Programming
Sonalika Bansiwal, 3D Animation
Yatee Mehul , Interactive Media Management – Creative Technologies
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your special someone.
A memory aid may be recommended as an accommodation for tests/exams when a learner has provided information confirming that their disability impacts information retrieval. It is a tool developed by the learner to trigger recall of information. Memory aids are to be reviewed and approved by faculty prior to use on a test or exam.
The memory aid gives these learners an equitable opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of course material by helping prompt their memory, not by providing the answer.
This accommodation is not intended to reduce academic requirements or alter the standards by which academic performance is assessed. A properly created memory aid will not be useful to the learner unless they know and understand how to use the information it refers to. If the learner doesn’t understand the course material, a memory aid will not help.
Disabilities that may affect memory include (but are not limited to):
Additional information about the memory aid process can be found on our website.
Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about accommodations.
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.
Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is pleased to announce the publication of Building An Interprofessional Practice Approach In a Polytechnic Institution Beginning With Health-Care Education and Embracing The Concept As An Operational Leadership Imperative by Dr. Cory Ross.
Abstract
Polytechnic educational institutions have led the way in providing innovative and dynamic programming to students that meet industry needs. They serve as leaders of collaboration and agents of change not only in their respective programs but also in the way they conduct themselves as responsible businesses. This essay chronicles a series of decisions and events that have allowed one polytechnic higher education institution to adapt to changing times and embrace a new model of budget planning for the future. The ability for the polytechnic to change and move forward is truly remarkable. George Brown College has been able to incorporate crucial new ways of designing and creating budgets that assist the college workforce to feel connected and determined to effect its mission.

Start your engines - The AWS DeepRacer competition is returning to Humber College!
This is the world’s fully autonomous racing league with a 1/18th scale race car driven by machine learning (ML) algorithm. The inaugural 2023 AWS DeepRacer competition was a resounding success where student developers of all skill levels got hands on with machine learning through a cloud-based 3D racing simulator.
Humber College’s partnership with AWS (Amazon Web Services) provides an opportunity to integrate curriculum in a fun, learning environment for our Humber students where they can apply their critical thinking & advanced machine learning skills.
Students will meet weekly in the DeepRacer club to explore the challenges and solutions to find the best reinforcement learning algorithm to be implemented.
This event is open to students from all faculties and programs across Humber are welcome. Interested students/teams are invited to send an email to Professor Mihai Albu at mihai.albu@humber.ca, expressing their interest in participating in this competition. Visit this AWS presentation for more information.
