Do you want tips on teaching students how to document their sources and avoid plagiarism…without putting them to sleep?
Humber’s Academic Regulations state that it is the student’s responsibility to learn and use the conventions of documentation. This comes as a shock to many students, who are completely in the dark when it comes to citing their sources and who don’t know the difference between plagiarizing and paraphrasing. This workshop will cover the essentials of teaching students how to document their sources correctly, thereby avoiding “accidental plagiarism”.

What is HELP?
Who is HELP for?
When does it happen?
Why is HELP important?
Where can you get HELP info?
Improving student success is an institutional priority, and benefits all of us!
Tired of marking that assignment you have given for two semesters in a row?
Discouraged by the lack of time and energy your students are putting into their work?
Sometimes all you need is a new approach and some colleagues
to help inspire you.
In this workshop we rethink our approach to evaluation in hands on fashion. Starting from the premise that testing does not necessarily mean tests and that assignments should extend knowledge not just involve its repetition, we consider how to design and develop engaging evaluation procedures. Bring an assignment you would like to revamp to this session, as we workshop new ways of approaching evaluation.

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.

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.
