To mark the start of the winter 2020 semester, the latest episode of NEXTcast is another collection of great teaching tips from Humber faculty, staff, and students - this time aimed at experienced professors (though they work for new professors, too).

Listen on Soundcloud or on iTunes.

NEXTcast is a twice-monthly podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College. Every episode, we talk to faculty and staff about new teaching ideas and practices, scholarship and research, and about some of the great academic initiatives and innovations that are happening at Humber, inside and outside the classroom.

To be a guest on NEXTcast, email humberpress@humber.ca.

A reminder that applications for the next Teaching Innovation Fund are due on Monday, January 20, by 5 p.m. 

About the fund: The fund includes $1,400 per investigator and support in developing and conducting a research project about teaching and learning. There are typically two types of projects: “Build” projects, in which you develop and build a new, evidence-based teaching tool or approach, and “Impact” projects, in which you measure the impact of an innovative teaching tool or approach with your students. 

For more information and to access the application form, see the attached documents. To hear from faculty that have previously conducted research with the fund, visit the CTL's YouTube channel.

Applications may be submitted to CTLResearch@humber.ca. 

Do you have a student who has a business idea? They could enter Humber's Launch Me Competition to win a portion of $20,000. 

The deadline to submit an application and business plan is January 20, 2020 by 12 p.m. (noon). 

Please see our website for more information.

Humber has an amazing group of faculty and staff who go above and beyond for our students each and every day, and one important way they do this is through our faculty and staff campaign - Humber Gives. And guess what – it’s that time once again!
