  • Stress management
  • Self-care
  • Creating life balance
  • Developing and maintaining a positive and healthy mindset
  • Taking advantage of personal strengths and talents
  • Positive lifestyle changes related to nutrition, physical activity, and/or sleep

Humber Polytechnic Council - September Highlights
View in full page
When:
October 21, 2024

An assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators, Humber Polytechnic Council (HPC) is Humber’s collective employee voice, making suggestions to Humber Polytechnic’s President as it relates to long and short‐term institutional priorities.

OPENING REMARKS

Dr. Ann Marie Vaughan, Humber Polytechnic’s President and CEO

Humber’s current domestic enrolment has exceeded Humber’s summer and fall targets and is on track for the winter term. In terms of international students, the institution met its minimum targets for the summer and fall terms. Aligned with a system-wide trend, Humber is challenged to meet its winter targets.

Humber has just commenced the development of its Strategic Management Agreement (SMA) with the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The SMA outlines Humber’s institutional mandate and vision and identifies current strengths and areas of future growth. Provincial priorities continue to be in STEM, skilled trades, and health fields that address labour market needs.

INFORMATIONAL: ENROLMENT UPDATE

Barb Riach, Associate Vice-President, Registrar

Humber had a strong number of returning domestic students this year. Compared to its 2018 enrolment, there has been a 4.7 per cent increase in domestic students, and a 2 per cent increase in international students. Its “unofficial” enrolment numbers as of September 26, 2024 were:

  • Total Summer 2024 enrolment: 9,900 – Humber’s largest summer enrolment to date.
  • Total Fall 2024 enrolment: 26,817.

DISCUSSION: EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING ENROLMENT, SUPPORTING NEW STUDENTS, AND IMPROVING RETENTION

Dr. Gina Antonacci, Senior Vice-President and Derek Stockley, Associate Vice-President, Academic

Amber Holliday, Associate Vice-President, Recruitment & Student Mobility

Given this current context, Humber Polytechnic Council members were led through a discussion to identify effective strategies for increasing enrolment, supporting new students, and improving retention.

Blackboard Ultra Course Clean-up on October 25
View in full page
When:
October 21, 2024

Please share this message widely!

All Summer 2023 courses, including DEVU and SBXU courses, will be removed from Humber systems on Friday, October 25 at 4 p.m.

Why are courses being removed?

Humber removes courses one year after final grades are submitted or courses are created (for DEVU and SBXU courses). For the current Fall 2024 semester, courses from the Summer 2023 semester will be removed. Courses from this Fall 2024 semester will be removed in Winter 2026. PMR and ADR courses are deleted after three years. This is standard practice to ensure we maintain enough space and capacity on the Learning Management System, so these clean-ups are scheduled following good practices for data and storage management.

How do I back up and save my course for future use?

We recommend faculty back up and archive Blackboard courses at the end of each semester. Most course sites take no more than 10 minutes to archive, and OneDrive is readily available to all faculty for file storage.

What if I need help backing up my course?

Support for OneDrive is available from ITS, and support for learning how to back up and archive courses is available from the Innovative Learning Support Centre.

Recommended Storage Solution for Your Videos

When:
October 18, 2024

In our commitment to providing effective support for the instructional resources, we want to share a key recommendation regarding video storage. 

Utilize OneDrive for Long-term Video Storage 

Currently, the Panopto video platform automatically archives videos that have not received any views for the last 13 months. Please note that starting this winter, archived videos will be removed to help manage storage effectively. To ensure the safety and accessibility of your important videos, we strongly encourage using OneDrive for your storage needs. 

Advantages of OneDrive: 

  • Long-term accessibility: Keep your videos secure and available when you need them. 
  • Ample storage space: OneDrive provides significant storage capacity, allowing you to efficiently manage your essential video content alongside your use of Panopto. 

Helpful Tutorials Available: We’ve created short video demonstrations to assist you: 

Need Support? If you have any questions or require assistance, please reach out to the Innovative Learning Support Centre. We are here to help! 

Thank you for taking steps to ensure your valuable instructional materials are well-preserved.
