"I am Responsible for the Meaning of the Images that I See"

Bernie Monette is the program coordinator for the Web Development program at Humber College (Toronto, Canada). He has been teaching at Humber since 2000 and at Guelph-Humber since 2002. Since 2006 he has taught a course in visual communication which introduces students to their responsibility for understanding images. This is especially important as these students are the next generation of journalists, photographers and public relations professionals.

After receiving his graduate degree in 1996, Bernie worked as a web consultant for a number of organizations including the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), CIBC and Fidelity Investments. He has also developed curriculum for CAMH, University of the British West Indies, University of Guelph-Humber and several new Humber degrees. Bernie has worked as far away as Kathmandu but is most at home in his kitchen. His latest project is incorporating stand-up comedy into his teaching.
