Digital Campus Plan
View in full page
When:
February 11, 2019

Humber College is creating a digital campus plan and we want to hear from you – our students, staff, and faculty – about what that should look like.

A digital campus is one that gives students easy access to information and course materials in order to allow them to stay connected to and work with their professors and fellow students, gain independence in course planning, and improve their overall Humber experience.

A digital campus also creates opportunities in teaching, learning and discovery and improves the workplace experience for staff and faculty.

All this week we will be posting poll questions on our Twitter and Facebook accounts and our Instagram stories. A new question each day!

Fill out the complete survey and you could win great prizes, including an iPad!

Thank you for contributing to Humber’s plan for a digital campus.

We are happy to share this month’s issue of Scholars & Co., highlighting the research and scholarly initiatives happening within the CTL this month.

With a large new cohort of applicants to the Teaching Innovation Fund this semester, it is clear that Humber faculty are as engaged as ever at excelling in their craft. As noted on page two of this month’s issue, faculty apply to the fund not only to answer a burning question they have about teaching and learning, but it is also about enhancing their own instructional practice. Such an invigorating process to be a part of!

We'd also like to share a friendly reminder about the Call for Proposals for the Special Issue of JIPE on “Innovation in Sustainable Solutions”.  Expressions of Interest (250-500 words) are due by March 1. Please share widely within your networks. Humber is a leader in Sustainability; this special issue serves as a wonderful opportunity to share our stories! Visit jipe.ca for more information.
