I’m pleased to announce the appointment of Tanya Greve as program co-ordinator of Humber’s Theatre Arts – Production program, and of Ray Salverda as full-time Theatre Arts – Production faculty.
The HIVES classrooms at Humber promote student engagement and collaboration with a focus on integrating meaningful technology to enhance learning. Faculty are invited to drop in, explore and learn how to deliver instruction in these innovative spaces. Resources for teaching in the HIVES will be provided.
Note: Faculty that plan to use a laptop or tablet while teaching in the HIVES are encouraged to bring it to the drop-in session.
Assessments are an integral part of the teaching and learning process because they provide instructors and learners with a framework to monitor progress and areas of growth. In this workshop, participants will explore the alignment of learning outcomes with assessments, and the multiple assessment types that can be used to meet the needs of all learners.
With mixed emotions, I am announcing that Dr. Michael O’Leary has accepted the position as Dean of the Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies at Sheridan College. Michael has made a significant impact to the School of Health Sciences during his three years of service, and he will be missed. Michael’s last day at Humber will be August 25th, 2017. Please join me in congratulating Michael on his appointment.
Assessment tools help instructors measure, evaluate assignments, and give students clear guidelines of how an assignment is graded. In this workshop, participants will discuss strategies that promote transparency and efficiency and ensure students are producing work that meets instructors’ expectations.
