Happy International Women's Day!

Today, and in the days ahead, we should reflect on the achievements of women and remember that there is still a significant amount of work that needs to be done to achieve gender balance in our society. We all need to play a role in moving the needle because a balanced world is a better world.

@LifeAtHumber would like to share the story of Sarah Lam, a powerlifting athlete from Humber Lakeshore, who is breaking records and barriers.

It’s here! Humber’s new academic video streaming platform, Panopto, is now live and available to all faculty and staff.

Designed to help you record, edit, search, and stream curriculum videos, Panopto will help you better engage with your learners, and easily share content with your colleagues.

Some of the world’s top academic institutions are already using Panopto, and we can’t wait for you to discover the many ways that it can help you innovate in teaching and learning.

Top five things to discover on Panopto, once you login using your Humber credentials:

  1. Click the “Create” button to find out how easy it is to create and upload a quick, accessible video using your desktop or mobile device.
  2. Use the “Browse” functionality to discover videos that have already been made available for you to use from our early users.
  3. Find out just how powerful Panopto’s “Smart Search” really is (search names, text on PowerPoints, spoken word, and more…)
  4. Activate one of the many Blackboard Integrations within your course (mashups, portals, and more!)
  5. Create your very first “Video Quiz” and watch the results flow into Blackboard’s Grade Centre.

Training:
There are a number of workshops available, beginning as early as this upcoming Monday, March 11, 2019. Please see the attached PDF for a workshop listing, our visit the CTL Calendar of Events.

*Panopto Launch Contest:
Humber employees can get up to five chances to win a $25 gift card. The earlier you login and activate your account, the more chances you have to win. Winners will be selected daily between Thursday, March 7, and Wednesday, March 13, 2019, at random. No winners will be drawn on Saturday or Sunday. If you are picked once, you will not be eligible for a further draw within this contest.

Note for University of Guelph-Humber:
The University of Guelph-Humber is developing a separate environment for Panopto which integrates with Desire2Learn. Panopto will be available for the UofGH community in the future. See Who Can Use Panopto? for more information.

Note for Ensemble Video Users:
If you already had videos on Ensemble Video (Humber’s video streaming pilot), you will find that they have been seamlessly migrated into Panopto. A message with further details has already gone out to Ensemble Users.

Panopto is proudly brought to you by the Centre for Teaching & Learning and Humber Libraries.

We are pleased to share the March edition of Scholars & Co.

This month, we are celebrating a Teaching Innovation Fund first: A TIF film screening! Although many of the SoTL projects that we fund evaluate the impact of a teaching practice or approach, some are geared toward the development of a new teaching tool. In this case, the tool that was developed is a documentary, titled The Struggle Back, which will be used to educate Humber students as well as community and justice agencies on the challenges associated with addiction and mental health. The project was an inter-disciplinary endeavour, completed by Arun Dhanota (SSCS), Dan Rowe (MSIT), and a team of students. It will be screened on Thursday, March 21 at the Lakeshore Campus.

See the full story on page 1 of the newsletter for further details and to register to attend the screening.

Open Education Week: Day 4 – Where Can I Find Open Media Resources?
View in full page
When:
March 7, 2019

Recall from Tuesday’s post that Creative Commons licensing allows creators to grant others permission to use their media freely. Media can be illustrations, photos, videos, sounds and more – all of which have many purposes within education.

It can be difficult to determine if a video, song, or "googled" image has been posted with permission. Therefore, start with the following Creative Commons portals instead:

  • Wikimedia Commons – a collection of 45 million freely usable visual and audio media files to which anyone can contribute
  • Flickr Commons – hidden treasures from the world's public photography archives
  • ccMixter – music database that features sound effects and remixed music
  • reveal.js – open software that challenges the Office suite paradigm is hard to find. 
  • Vimeo and YouTube – use the search filter settings to limit results to only Creative Commons videos.

Want to learn more?
Visit Humber Libraries' copyright website, library.humber.ca/copyright, for links to more open media resources. 

Stay tuned for the conclusion to the Open Education Week series.
