The Part-time Faculty Orientation is comprised of two workshops. Participants are encouraged to register for both Part-time Faculty Orientation to Teaching at Humber and Blackboard: Introductory Workshop for New Part-time Faculty.

Part-time Faculty Orientation to Teaching at Humber:

This session includes an overview of Humber College’s student population and resources for faculty and students. Participants will share strategies for preparing for the first day of class and incorporating a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning. Participants will also explore lesson planning fundamentals and inclusive ways to engage learners.

Blackboard: Introductory Workshop for New Part-time Faculty

New part-time faculty are encouraged to attend this 1 hour introductory workshop on Bb 9.1. Learn the basics of Bb 9.1 and find out how it can enhance your classroom. Participants will discover how to upload the Humber Template and documents, and will be introduced to basic communication tools.

Dear registrant:

• Make sure you can access Blackboard.
• If your central login ID or Password does not work, you will need to go to IT with photo ID and get them to do a reset. North Campus: NX 210, Lakeshore Campus: A212.
• Be sure you have a course to work with in Blackboard. This could be a live site or better yet a DEV site or SANDBOX. Both a DEV site and Sandbox can be requested using the appropriate e-forms at its.humber.ca. Please note that this request can take up to 24 hours to be processed. 

If you do not have access to Blackboard and a site to work in you will not be able to actively participate in the workshop.

You can also make an appointment at our Instructional Support Studio for assistance in getting started with Blackboard.
