  • When:
    October 6, 2017 10:00am to 11:00am

Welcome to the Scholars' Cafe! This is a new CTL initiative this fall. It's a chance to meet with other faculty over coffee, to discuss the latest in the teaching and learning literature. It's like a book club, but for journal articles.

The Scholars' Cafe will meet at 10 a.m. on the first Friday of each month, and engage in informal discussion about a selected paper from the teaching and learning literature. 

This month's paper is entitled "Technology-enhanced learning and teaching in higher education: what is ‘enhanced’ and how do we know? A critical literature review ". The abstract can be viewed here: dx.doi.org/10.1080/17439884.2013.770404. A pdf of the article will be sent to you upon registration, or you can email Renee Burt (renee.burt@humber.ca) to request a copy.

Please join us for coffee and a collegial discussion on Friday, October 6 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. in North: D225I (CTL Boardroom).

Questions? Contact Heidi Marsh (heidi.marsh@humber.ca) or Carol Appleby (carol.appleby@humber.ca)

The Free Electric Vehicle Test Drive event has been rescheduled to October 5th, 2017 between 12 - 3 p.m.

Did you know? 

  • Electric vehicles (EVs) have better acceleration than gas cars and they have no trouble maintaining highway speeds upwards of 150 km/h. 
  • By driving an EV, you can save $1,500-$2,000 per year on fuel and save hundreds of dollars per year on maintenance, since EVs do not need oil changes, and other regular maintenance activities.
  • EVs start at $27,000 before accounting for purchase incentives up to $15,000 offered by the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec.
  • By driving an EV in Canada you will reduce emissions generated by as much as 90%.

Humber's Office of Sustainability and Plug’n Drive want YOU to experience what it’s like to drive an electric vehicle (EV).

Join us to test drive 1 of 3 EVs! We have three exciting electric cars to choose from:

  • BMW i3
  • Volkswagen e-Golf
  • Chevrolet Bolt

Come out, test drive an electric vehicle, and speak to Plug’n Drive representatives about the benefits of owning an EV and stay tuned for electric vehicle charging stations coming to North!
