For over a decade, tablets have been used at Humber to help foster learning. Some professors love them, some do not, and others are simply curious. Whatever your opinion, we would love to hear from you. In this presentation, we will explore both the pros and cons of tablet technology by sharing our own personal experiences. Find out if tablets are the next step in the evolution of your classroom.

In addition, you will be introduced to the latest Dell 5290 (2-in-1) Tablet now recommended by Humber IT. It is so cool that it makes the Surface Pro look like just an iPad. Just kidding, iPad users are welcome to this fun event as well.

Inclusive Curricular Design encompasses the key elements of multiple teaching and learning approaches to offer a robust and accessible learning experience for all students. The principles of inclusive curricular design focus on a proactive rather than reactive approach to course design and are founded in equity, collaboration, flexibility and accountability. This Certificate addresses the idea that students are not meant to fit into a traditional “one size fits all” model of education and that applying the principles of inclusive design will ensure that the range of student diversities, abilities, and needs arebeing met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.

The Certificate is comprised of eight 3-hour learning modules, a coaching session, and a final application activity. Upon successful completion of these components, participants receive a Certificate of Completion.

This Certificate has been accredited by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) - Educational Developers Caucus (EDC) of Canada to ensure quality in teaching and learning. For more information, please visit EDC Accreditation information.
