On Wednesday, January 29, Humber will launch the ‘Ontario Colleges Student Experience Survey’ (OCSES) to all students in full-time, funded programming currently enrolled in semester 2 or above. This survey will assess students’ experiences related to teaching and learning quality, program related knowledge and skills, work-integrated learning (if applicable), and student services and resources. The results of the survey will allow Humber to identify strengths and areas of improvement.

Students will receive a personal survey link through their Blackboard ‘Activity Stream’. From January 29 to February 19, facilitators/instructors will also support survey completion through dedicated in-class time. To encourage participation, students who complete the survey will have the option to enter a draw for a chance to win an Apple iPad (10th Gen), one of two Chromebook laptops, or one of five $200 e-gift cards.

For questions about the survey, please contact Jean O’Donnell at jean.o’donnell@humber.ca. Student’s questions about the survey can be directed to iresearch@humber.ca.

Learn the important distinction between email addresses and User Principal Names (UPNs). This is crucial for ensuring correct communication to students when they access various platforms like Microsoft 365, Adobe, and Blackboard. 

Key Points: 

What is a UPN? 

Staff and students use UPNs for logging into systems like Microsoft 365, Adobe, and Blackboard. It’s important to note that a UPN may look like an email address but serves as a format to log in. 

Understanding these differences helps prevent confusion and ensures that everyone can access the resources they need without any issues. Please take a moment to watch the video and familiarize yourself with these distinctions.

The Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is pleased to announce the publication of "Offering Collaborative Opportunities as a Pathway to Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Research Participation" by Brendan Wehby-Malicki, Siobhan Williams, PhD, M Redwan Zinan Siddiqui, MBA, Erin Gray, MA, Francesca Discenza, MA, Ajay Rampersad, MSc, Noreen R. Santilli, MA, Truc Le, EdD, Kayla Charbonneau.

Abstract:

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is the systematic study of teaching and learning and the public dissemination of findings. Despite the numerous benefits of SoTL at multiple levels, there are significant challenges to participation, particularly within the Canadian college and polytechnic context. Common barriers that contribute to lower SoTL participation in the Canadian college and polytechnic context include a lack of faculty time for scholarly activities, institutional culture and support for scholarly activities, and limited research experience among faculty members. Through a brief introduction to the literature on this topic and our own experience running a group SoTL project, we aim to shine a light on how offering collaborative opportunities can improve scholarly participation at multiple levels of engagement as well as contribute to the formation of a SoTL community of practice. By embracing a collective approach to SoTL, educators can not only develop professionally but also foster a scholarly community that encourages innovation and improves learning outcomes across diverse educational contexts.

Benefits of the New System:

  • Efficiency: Streamlines the print request process, reducing wait times and improving service delivery.
