The NSERC College and Community Innovation program recently announced a call for proposals for the College and Community Social Innovation Fund (CCSIF).

The CCSIF enables colleges to increase their capacity to work with communities, with the goal of developing partnerships that foster social innovation in areas such as education, integration of vulnerable populations, and community development. CCSIF grants support well-defined and focused social innovation projects undertaken by college researchers with their partners from the public, private or not-for-profit sectors.

Humber’s Office of Applied Research and Innovation (ARI) is offering an introductory one-hour workshop on the CCSIF to College staff, including full and part-time faculty.

Learn:

  • Program objectives and selection criteria
  • Process to develop and submit your application
  • Important deadlines and deliverables
  • Partner participation and partnership opportunities
  • How Humber’s department of Applied Research and Innovation will support your application

*Lunch will be provided. Please email research@humber.ca if you have any dietary restrictions.

Blackboard Introductory Workshop

Every course at Humber has an online presence in Blackboard, Humber’s Learning Management System (LMS) that faculty can use to augment and enhance the classroom experience.  In this workshop participants will discover how to navigate, add and remove content, use basic communication tools, and upload the Humber Template. Note: Participants must have access to a Blackboard course to participate actively in this workshop.

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.

Location Date Time
North Campus, D225J Tuesday, August 27, 2019 4 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
North Campus, D225J Wednesday, August 28, 2019 1:30 p.m. – 3 p.m.
