For more information and to access the application form, see the attached document. To hear from faculty that have previously conducted research with the fund, visit the CTL's YouTube channel.
The deadline for applications is Friday, September 18, 2020.

The Inclusive Curricular Design Certificate (ICDC) explores how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework can guide the creation of robust and accessible learning experiences for all students. The principles of UDL are founded in equity, collaboration, flexibility and accountability, and encourage a proactive, skill-building approach to course design that fosters the development of expert learners. Participants will apply these principles to ensure that the range of student diversities, abilities, and needs are met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.
Note: Registration is restricted to current Humber employees only. View the attached flyer for more information.

The Teaching in a Digital World Certificate (TDWC) program is designed to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners with varying degrees of teaching experience in the online and/or hybrid environment. While teaching in an online environment shares many characteristics with face-to-face teaching, it is a fundamentally different educational experience for instructors and students. The certificate is designed to develop essential online teaching competencies and engage participants as a learner, facilitator, and beginner developer.
Note: Registration is restricted to current Humber faculty only.
The Digital Documents Accessibility Training (DDAT) certificate program provides participants with the ability to recognize the different legislation and guidelines related to accessibility and apply those guidelines to digital content and documents.

The Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning (Humber College) has identified as its Strategic Priority #7 under Pillar #3, Healthy and Inclusive Community, to continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty and staff. The specific supporting action is to establish and implement an institutional framework and strategy for equity, diversity and inclusion that addresses the needs of both students and employees.
An EDI Taskforce comprising of students, faculty, support and administration staff, alumni, community and industry partners was created to lead this initiative. The EDI Framework will address the following four (4) program areas and five (5) program streams:
The EDI Taskforce shared high-level draft objectives for all program areas with members of the College in June/July 2020. Many members of the College asked for detailed work plans, which were provided upon request. Thank you all for your rich and thoughtful feedback. All program areas have integrated the feedback received, where possible.
We invite members of the College to review the updated draft objectives for all program areas (see attached) and provide their feedback.
Thank you for submitting your feedback to humanrights@humber.ca by Friday, September 11, 2020.
