Last week for Call for proposals

Welcome to Showcase 2018! This year’s theme is Pulse, reflecting the energy and dynamic environment of the Humber community. This inspiring event will showcase the work of Humber staff and faculty who every day in their work stay #OnThePulse of what is new and innovative in post-secondary education. The pulse of Humber reflects our commitment to learning, innovation and student success.

Proposals are now open!  We are accepting proposals from April 16 – May 7, 2018. Submit your workshop, marketplace or poster proposal to humber.ca/showcase.

WORKSHOPS:
A workshop is a 30 or 60 minute session for you to share ideas with your colleagues at Humber. Examples of workshops have included: new initiatives, research, an innovative teaching and learning practice, your area of expertise, emerging trends etc. Your workshop should be interactive whenever possible.

MARKETPLACE:
Marketplace  can best be described as a fair, where different schools and departments come to showcase what they do and how they support the Humber community both internally and externally. Marketplace exhibitors can highlight recent, current or future Humber projects, or initiatives. Marketplace is a great opportunity to bring the Humber community together for conversation, sharing and networking.

POSTER:
A research poster summarizes a research project using text and graphs/tables/pictures on a large sheet of paper. The poster is shared during a poster session, where several researchers stand by their posters, and attendees peruse among them, and chat informally with the researchers about their projects. It is a great chance to spread the word about research that is going on, and also to get feedback and ideas about a project.

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 curriculum 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 are being met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.

The Certificate is comprised of seven 3-hour learning modules, a coaching session, and a reflection 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.

Note: The modules must be taken in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

ICDC Module 1: Foundations of Inclusive Design This module explores the role of inclusive design in optimizing the experience of all learners. Participants will be introduced to the universal design for learning (UDL) guidelines, which will be applied throughout the Inclusive Curricular Design Certificate program.
