JIPE is an online, open-access journal devoted to publishing peer-reviewed papers that investigate and expand teaching and learning within the polytechnic educational context. JIPE especially encourages scholarly work exploring the impact of innovative teaching and learning practices that push the boundaries of traditional approaches to learning or educational delivery.
Looking for a place to publish your work? JIPE publishes original research articles, review papers, brief reports, and "Innovation Spotlights". Papers are accepted on an ongoing basis. There are also currently two Calls for Papers for Special Issues of the journal, on "Innovative Learning Spaces" and "Innovation in Sustainable Solutions".

This year’s admission campaign incorporates the theme of Destination Humber. The focus is to differentiate Humber from its competitors and create enthusiasm about Humber: the destination of choice. Once applicants apply to Humber, they receive an acknowledgment email, which is followed by a postcard that introduces them to this theme.
The Destination Humber theme is reinforced in the offer of admission letters, Welcome Package and subsequent electronic communications. Students who receive an offer of admission are directed to the Future Students page, which encourages them to confirm their offer of admission, post on social media and hear from current students about why Humber was their preferred destination. Check out the Welcome Video here:

Thank you to all the students who completed the Humber Libraries survey in February! We are in the process of analyzing the results and will publish them soon, but here's a hint of what we're seeing.
Thank you for celebrating Open Education Week with the Centre for Teaching and Learning and Humber Libraries.
If you still have questions about what makes a resource open or how you can adopt, remix, or create OERs, we have good news for you. College libraries from across Ontario have collaborated to produce an OER Toolkit.
The OER Toolkit provides information to help faculty understand, engage with, and sustain OER in their work and practice.
Do you have ideas for using or adopting OER but are looking for collaborators? Here are some ways Humber Libraries can help you:

Contact Humber’s Director of Digital Curriculum: Theresa Steger (theresa.steger@humber.ca).
If one of our students came to you asking for your help to make it through the year, and you knew buying them a latte or two would you help solve their problem, would you do it? Yes – without a doubt.
Like Alison Maclean, you can make a real difference to talented and hardworking Humber students by making a donation through payroll deduction to support Humber scholarships and awards.
The Humber Gives campaign runs until the end of March, however tomorrow is the last day that TD Insurance Meloche Monnex will match new gifts. Double your impact now through payroll deduction, monthly giving or a one-time gift.
See why Alison chooses to give by watching this year’s campaign video.
Should you have any questions on how to give, please contact Cynthia Luey, Annual Giving Officer, x4975 or cynthia.luey@humber.ca.
