Lakeshore Campus, Room D204

Culture shock is experienced by students in our classrooms. After a period of initial euphoria, students transition through stages as they navigate towards cultural adaptation. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify the stages of cultural adaptation and the challenging behaviours and feelings that may accompany a student through the stages of adjustment. The session will enable participants to understand their student’s cultural conflicts, better manage behaviours and provide responsive resolutions in the classroom.

What is HELP?

  • HELP is the Humber Engagement and Learning Profile survey for incoming students.
  • Developed by a cross-institutional Advisory Group, HELP is a cutting-edge incoming student survey.

Who is HELP for?

  • HELP asks incoming first-semester students in certificate, diploma and degree programs to tell us about their preparation for college, their educational and career goals, early opinions about their program and Humber generally, and to identify particular student support services they may use.
  • Participating students are entered into a draw for more than $1,000 in prizes, including money towards tuition and an Apple iPod sponsored by the Humber Students Federation (HSF).

When does it happen?

  • The HELP survey is open to students during the third and fourth weeks of class (January 23 – February 5).
  • The survey is administered online and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Why is HELP important?

  • Students tell us how we can help them be successful at Humber, and receive individualized emails and timely information about Humber’s services based on areas of assistance they identified as beneficial!
  • Humber Institutional Research creates reports based on student responses to key questions and distributes these to student service areas as well as academic faculty/staff; identifies those who are struggling or at-risk of leaving early.
  • Aggregate data at the program, school and college levels will help us to develop institutional retention strategies that will help more students be successful in their program.

Where can you get HELP info?

  • To ask questions or learn more about the survey or reports please contact Humber Institutional Research.

Improving student success is an institutional priority, and benefits all of us!

Wimba is collaborative learning software that allows instructors to connect with students within a virtual learning environment.

Within a Wimba room, faculty can lead their classes through online discussions, while integrating video, audio, and chat functions, PowerPoint slideshows and desktop sharing capabilities. The Wimba classroom can be directly setup and accessed within the Blackboard framework and is a great tool for faculty to enhance their online and hybrid courses. This tool can also help enhance face-to-face classes when used for afterclass support while both the instructor and students are off-campus or by virtually bringing in guest speakers – without the travel costs! In addition, Wimba can be used outside of the Blackboard environment. Faculty, staff and administration can hold online video and audio supported meetings with multiple participants, from anywhere in the world, within a virtual meeting room. The virtual classroom/meeting room is here and is freely available to all. Attend our workshop and find out how Wimba can help you.
