A reminder that applications for the next Teaching Innovation Fund are due on Friday, January 18 by 5pm.
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.
On Humber NEXTcast's first episode of the new year, available free on Soundcloud and iTunes, we speak with professors Dennis Kappen and George Paravantes about a groundbreaking augmented reality project they worked on with a team of students and brought to a major international tech conference.
"This is an example: collaborative research can work. There are individuals available who can come together with a common objective or a goal, and I believe that is a big take-away at Humber. Humber has the environment, and we have amazing people here." - Dennis Kappen
Listen to the episode here.
NEXTcast is a podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College, created by Humber Press and The Centre for Teaching & Learning. New episodes go up on Soundcloud and iTunes every second week.
To suggest a future guest or topic, email Humber Press at humberpress@humber.ca.

Year-end is March 31. Have you ordered all the technical services assets (computers, laptops, etc.) you planned to purchase this fiscal? If not, there is still time. Please contact our Request Fulfillment Coordinator without delay.
Important: This fiscal’s deadline to issue a purchase order for technical service assets is January 31. Note that purchase orders issued late (after the January 31 deadline) likely will not arrive before year-end (March 31) and will therefore need to be paid out of next year’s (2019/2020) budget.
Questions? Concerns? Please contact Tanya Goncalves, Manager of Technology Support, at x4569 before the January 31 deadline.

IKN 101: Indigenous Cultural Values, Behaviour and Identity
There are still spaces available to register for our IKN 101, the last day to add a course is this Friday, January 11, 2019. The course itself is taught by a prominent Indigenous Elder, Jim Dumont, who has been actively involved in the cultural and spiritual roots of the Ojibway-Anishinabe Midewiwin Tradition. Engage directly in the exploration, participation and learning of the traditional Anishinabe Way of Life.
This course is a study of the indigenous way of being. The indigenous way of perceiving and conceptualizing, of sensing and relating to the world, of thinking and processing thought, of behaving and acting are unique. Starting with the primary foundations and concepts of total indigenous personhood gained from the teachings, stories, spiritual or cultural practice, lifeways, life practice, and through the language, the student will explore and identify the primary shapers and motivators of indigenous being, behaviour, response, and identity. Students will be asked to develop a knowledge and understanding of indigenous psychology as total indigenous personhood as it occurs in the cultural environment, and how it affects indigenous response in the contemporary world.
