Hello,

We are excited to share with you that Humber’s Panopto Platform has just been upgraded to its latest release (7.0). We’ve highlighted some exciting and relevant features for you – which are now available for you to use.

What’s New

  • New Mobile Video Player
    Panopto’s redesigned mobile video player enhances support for learners who are on-the-go. Learners may now, from their phone: navigate the video’s table of contents, search within a video, take notes, partake in discussion, and rate the video.
  • Fill-in-the-blanks Quizzes (and more)
    Creators now have the ability to add a “fill in the blank” type of question within their video quizzes. Creators can also see combined results from all quizzes within a single video.
  • Download Notes & Discussion Threads
    Students can now export a copy of their notes, along with the time they took them within the video. Creators now have the ability to export the discussion thread within their video.
  • Improved Mashup Tool within Blackboard
    The Panopto Mashup tool within Blackboard just got better. Creators can now search across all videos within the Mashup tool – which means – less time scrolling, more time embedding!
  • Panopto for Mac Improvements
    Beta Feature: The Panopto for Mac recording tool now captures your computer’s audio (in addition to your video and voice).

Panopto News

A special thank you goes out to each and every one of our 950+ users. More than 1,350 videos have been uploaded to the platform.

Training

We will be scheduling a new round of workshops throughout Fall 2019 - keep an eye out on the Communiqué for updates. Individualized training is available to all faculty and employees over the summer.

If you have any questions about Panopto at Humber, or have any feedback or success stories, feel free to reach out to Humber’s Panopto Support Team, who will be happy to assist.

Sincerely,


Your friendly Panopto administrators
Darren Richards & Lisa DiBarbora

The Humber community may have noticed that construction work on the exterior of the North Campus Building NX Passive House retrofit project stopped in early May. Unfortunately, members of the Sheet Metal Works and Roofers Local 30 have been on strike since, and it has severely impacted the schedule of completing the exterior work on this building. Fortunately, the building is water tight at this point, and only asthetics related to the siding and the new canopy remain to be completed, but our schedule of end of June completion has been pushed back. It's completely out of Humber's control, but we remain hopefull the two sides will negotiate an agreement and get back to work soon. We will post an update once we receive confirmation from our general contractor.

Work continues inside by different contractors to finish the mechanical system conversion, and to ready the building for the final Passive House test on the August long weekend.

As the first net zero carbon retrofit building in Canada, and hopefully the first Passive House certified retrofit, we are receiving lots of interest from across North America from other organizations looking for ways to reduce carbon emissions to meet provincial, federal and Paris Accord targets. We believe this project is an example of Humber delivering "national leadership in sustainable campuses" as prescribed in the Strategic Plan.

Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity Program (EEP), please visit the Centre website.

Thank you to everyone who has completed Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire. The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity appreciates your help in building a more inclusive Humber!

Please Complete Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity invites all full-time, part-time, contract and sessional employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). The information that you provide in the Employment Equity Questionnaire will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification. Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation will allow the College to identify where underrepresentation exists, and to target its efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in the College’s employment systems.

Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.

How can I access the Employment Equity Questionnaire?

The Employment Equity Questionnaire (PDF) is attached to this Communique (please see below). The Employment Equity Questionnaire (PDF) can also be accessed on the Centre’s website. Please return the completed questionnaire to The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity (5th floor LRC North Campus) or you can scan the completed questionnaire and email to Bharat Saini, Advisor, Human Rights, Equity & Diversity, at bharat.saini@humber.ca.
