We are excited to announce that the online module Teaching Students to Research & Write with Integrity in the Digital Age is now open and available for all teachers at Humber College. This module is the result of the Academic Plan Priority 3 Projects and was a collaborative effort between the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness, Humber Libraries, the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Science, Student Success & Engagement, and Educational Support and Digital Innovations (ESDI). It is meant for those teachers who would consider themselves still novices at working with generative artificial intelligence (genAI) in learning settings.

The module is intended to support the development of faculty’s knowledge and understanding of how to engage with genAI to support students in harnessing new and emerging technologies to support their learning and digital fluency. You can access the online module here Teaching Students To Research & Write With Integrity In The Digital Age – A Faculty Program | Academic Division (humber.ca) Please enter the password genai_humber.

If you would like to learn more about the module you can attend an information session on February 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or February 8 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. through Microsoft Teams. If interested in attending please contact Jennie Miron at jennie.miron@humber.ca.

Student Wellness and Equitable Learning (SWEL) is comprised of several services that are available to all learners at Humber and the University of Guelph Humber: Health Services, Counselling Services, Accessible Learning Services, Testing Services, Peer Wellness Services, Sexual Violence Prevention and Education, Care Coordinator Services, Office of Student Community Standards and Residence Life. 

Students are invited to attend one of our “Exploring the Current State” focus groups (Januray 30 or February 5) to share their thoughts, ideas and perspectives.

Each participant will receive a $35 e-gift card to either Amazon or Walmart.

Their input will impact how we deliver wellness services at the institution and will contribute to a healthier campus.

Aerobic Fitness Testing - $20 - Approximately 45 minutes

Use a stationary bike, a treadmill or a step to estimate your aerobic fitness. Useful to assess health related fitness, guide exercise and to track progress.

Submaximal Metabolic (VO2) Exercise Test - $75 -  Approximately 60 minutes

Exercise at a vigorous level using a stationary bike or a treadmill while having your oxygen consumption measured during the test. Beneficial for guiding training intensity and tracking progress of exercise training.

Maximal Metabolic (VO2) Exercise Test - $75 - Approximately 60 minutes

Push yourself to maximum exertion using a stationary bike or a treadmill while having your oxygen consumption measured during the test. Beneficial for athletes or anyone seeking an accurate direct measurement of their aerobic fitness.

Blood Lactate Threshold Test - $125 - Approximately 60 minutes 

This is a test for endurance athletes who are serious about training. The test involves pricking the finger during each stage of the exercise test (on a treadmill or cycle ergo meter) to measure lactate concentration in the blood in response to the increasing exercise intensity. This testing is generally intended for those who are already training regularly and want more information or confirmation about their performance and training thresholds.

Resting Metabolic Rate (Resting VO2) - $80 - Approximately 45 minutes

Discover your resting metabolic rate by laying still and breathing into a mouthpiece connected to a metabolic cart. Useful for determining calorie expenditure.

Wingate Test (30-Second Anaerobic Power Test) - $25 - Approximately 20 minutes

Measure your power output during a 30-second maximal effort test performed on a Monark cycle ergometer (stationary bike). Beneficial for athletes requiring explosive power in their sport (e.g. jumping, sprinting, etc.).

BodPod - Add-On $15 | Stand-Alone $20 - Approximately 10 minutes

Determine your body composition (fat and fat-free mass). A full test requires about 10 minutes, and provides highly accurate, safe, comfortable, and fast test results.

Comprehensive Fitness Assessment -  No Metabolic Cart $120 | With Metabolic Cart $150 - Approximately 75 minutes

A package of tests used to assess: aerobic fitness (predicted based on exercise heart rate), strength, flexibility and body composition. This package includes either a bike or treadmill test, grip strength, sit and reach (flexibility), BodPod, height, weight, and blood pressure. Beneficial to set a base line or check your progress.
