Hands-On Backyard Chicken Workshop

Spend a Saturday morning in the Humber Arboretum with a backyard flock of chickens! A coop and flock of hens will be present for this fun learning experience. Learn all about how to raise your own egg-laying flock. Topics of discussion will include chicken handling, feeding and watering, health, bylaws, coops and much more. Participants will leave with a good understanding of how to keep chickens of their own.

CTL: Blackboard - Connect with Collaborate

Have you ever wanted to invite a guest speaker to your classroom virtually? Or hold virtual office hours? Or engage with your students in a virtual classroom? With a laptop, a good quality webcam and Collaborate now you can do all of the above. Host a virtual session anytime within or outside of Blackboard and connect with your students.

If you have a suggestion for a Blackboard workshop, please contact Mark at mark.ihnat@humber.ca.

CTL: Tech Talk - Making Your Online Content AODA Compliant

Ever wondered how to make your documents AODA compliant? Using the Check Accessibility option available in MS Office Suite, faculty can verify if their documents are accessibility friendly. Faculty will learn how to find common accessibility errors and how to fix them in a few short steps. Come and find out how all of our Humber students can view your documents properly.

CTL: Blackboard - Embedding Content into Blackboard

Ever wanted to do more with Blackboard using external or third party resources? There are many cool tools that can be integrated into the Learn environment that help increase student engagement. Learn how to integrate video content, social media feeds, Google items, polling software or even more advanced tools such as Prezi or Jing.
