The Academic Integrity Community of Practice is pleased to share information about our next guest speaker Miriam Salim from Humber Polytechnic. 

The release of ChatGPT in 2022 has greatly influenced academic integrity and student learning. Educators are increasingly concerned that students may resort to plagiarism by submitting AI-generated texts, and more critically, students risk poor acquisition of discipline-specific skills that are essential for ethical and effective participation in their field. This interactive workshop will examine some practical, reflective learning practices that can be implemented in a variety of programs at Humber.  By the end of the session, attendees will gain practical knowledge to support the implementation of reflective, skill-building activities in their classrooms, thereby reducing student reliance on text-generative AI tools and increasing student confidence in their academic writing abilities.

Miriam Salim is a writing professor who teaches a variety of ESOL reading and writing courses in Humber Polytechnic’s Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She earned a BA from Queen’s University and completed Humber’s TESL Certificate program in 2011. After over a decade of teaching writing courses, she attained an MA in Academic Writing Development and Research from Coventry University in 2024. Her dissertation, “EDI-Centred Policies, Pedagogies, and Practices in the Canadian College Writing Classroom,” both examined and proposed practical principles for establishing inclusive and welcoming writing classrooms. Passionate about creating safe and brave learning spaces, Miriam enjoys developing practical solutions to writing challenges and is always excited about supporting students on their writing journeys.

The powerful singer and songwriter, Dione Taylor, and her jazz quartet will showcase a spirited noon-hour performance on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. Dione will be joined by Lyle Molzan on drums, Mark McIntyre on bass, and Nichol Robertson on guitar, for this exciting concert featuring her unique genre of jazz she coins “Prairie Blues," a mixture of Roots, Blues, Gospel and Americana. Well-known on the Toronto Jazz scene and across North America, Dione is JUNO-nominated singer/songwriter who graduated from Humber Polytechnic’s music program, and is now a faculty member at the institution, teaching singing and directing studies in recording performance and production.

Dione Taylor is a seasoned and electrifying performer who constantly energizes her audiences. Having first burst onto the music scene with her Juno nominated debut album “Open Your Eyes”, Dione Taylor has made a worthy name for herself as one of this country’s most talented musicians and songwriters. With performances at Folk, Blues, Jazz and Rock festivals across the United States, Canada and Asia, her audiences have included the President of the United States and Queen Elizabeth II. A 2021 Award winner of the Folk Music Ontario recording Artist of the Year, she has also become a familiar voice at music conferences like Folk Alliance International, Folk Music Canada, Folk Music Ontario, Contact East, Women’s Blues Revue and the Blues Summit.  

In addition to a Juno nomination, Taylor was also nominated for a Gemini Award for her rendition of Oscar Peterson’s “Hymn to Freedom,” which she performed alongside Oliver Jones at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala. Taylor is also the recipient of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award Mentorship Program.
