The Blackboard team has made several updates to our Blackboard environment and the Humber Blackboard Template. Come and see what Blackboard now has to offer, such as the ability to embed HTML5 audio/video files, and updates to the template including a section dedicated to tech spec and Humber policies. Using the Humber Template can help with student satisfaction and online quality. Maximizing Blackboard’s new features can enhance the overall teaching and learning experience.

Calling all innovative educators who are looking to try out some new strategies in their teaching. Cutting EDge is back! In Version 2.0, our theme is "Group work: Redesigned, Redefined". 

What IS Cutting EDge?

Cutting EDge is a research project where faculty come together to learn new innovative teaching strategies/tools/techniques focused around a theme. Once faculty have mastered the new strategies, they deploy them in their classrooms, with on-site support from the CTL's Professional Learning and e-Learning teams. Then, the CTL's Research team gathers evidence from faculty and their students on the impact of the innovative new teaching approaches.
