Join us on Monday, May 17 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. through Microsoft Teams for engaging video lessons with Edpuzzle.

Edpuzzle is an interactive video lesson creator that allows educators to add questions, notes, and narration on a video to engage learners, assess their understanding, and provide opportunities for reflection. Edpuzzle is a free formative and/or summative assessment tool that turns watching videos into an active process.

In this session, we will introduce participants to Edpuzzle (how to create interactive video lessons, how to share them with students, and review results) and two Humber faculty will share their experiences with the tool and examples of their work.

The EDI Taskforce and the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion would like to share the following webinar with the Humber Community:

During this Asian Heritage Month, join The Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade and Eileen Park, Founder and Filmmaker at Anecdotia Media as they reflect on their own experiences, share their perspectives, and discuss how all Canadians can come together to fight anti-Asian racism."
