Jim Tanaka
Passion for people
The Ring
Geographer Jutta Gutberlet and psychologist Jim Tanaka have devoted their careers to helping others—especially children and families and those who live in poverty. As the 2018 recipients of the Provost's Engaged Scholar Award, their commitment to communities locally and internationally will be celebrated at a March ceremony.
REACH Awards recognize dynamic learning
Media release
Two UVic professors whose efforts to infuse their teaching and research with lessons from the Holocaust are among 10 faculty members and three graduate students receiving top awards at the university’s inaugural REACH Awards.
REACH Awards
The Ring
This May, an inaugural event—the REACH Awards—will combine the Teaching Excellence Awards with the Craigdarroch Research Awards into a single event that celebrates the extraordinary teachers and researchers who lead the way in dynamic learning and make a vital impact at UVic, in the classroom and beyond.
Reaching higher, thinking bigger
The Ring
Twenty years ago, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) was created to provide funding for the tools--the labs, facilities and equipment--that Canadian researchers need to move ideas, discoveries and inventions forward for the benefit of society and the world around us.
Face Code
The Ring
A quirky mix of student programmers. Dr. Jim Tanaka, the research psychologist who leads them. And the app software they designed that could change the face of autism therapy.
UVic teaching awards 2016
The Ring
Dynamic teaching is a cornerstone of our extraordinary academic environment at UVic. Recognizing that the translation of knowledge has transformed the role of teaching in an ever-shifting, multimedia world, the university has redoubled its commitment to honour outstanding teachers with a trio of new awards for 2016.
An app to help children with autism
The Ring
The newly released Let’s Face It 2.0, a scrapbook app developed by the University of Victoria’s Centre for Autism Research Technology Education (CARTE) and now available free on iTunes, is a powerful educational tool for learning faces and recognizing emotions of the important people in the lives of children on the autism spectrum. “It is a selfie culture and I hope our app will be adopted by anyone who finds it useful,” says CARTE director and UVic psychology professor Jim Tanaka. “Parents and educators can create their own storybook from people and objects in their children’s lives.”
