Roddy Named Manager of DoIT's New Media Studio
The Division of Information Technology (DoIT) is pleased to announce that Dustin Roddy has been named manager of its New Media Studio (NMS). A 2014 graduate of the Media & Communications Studies (MCS) & American Studies programs, Roddy brings a rare combination of technical expertise as a video producer as well as excellent people and customer service skills.
In addition to daily responsibilities managing the Studio, Dustin played a key role in the successful partnership between DoIT, Athletics and Media Communication Studies to lead UMBC's live streaming of men's and women's basketball on ESPN3 that was featured in UMBC Magazine. He also worked with VPC Communications, owned by '86 Alum Eli Eisenberg, to oversee the Studio's upgrade to high definition (HD) broadcast quality production facilities, which supports numerous MCS student interns hired by Athletics to air 30+ ESPN3 broadcasts each year.
Dustin’s good working relationships were invaluable during and after UMBC's historic upset of #1 seed UVA in the 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Late that evening and all during the next two days, as the spotlight shone brightly on UMBC, Dustin helped educate the CBS "futures" producer who was only assigned the next day. She literally knew nothing about UMBC, so Dustin was feeding her information, web links and video archive footage with little more than a moment's notice. Eventually, Dustin’s in-game and behind-the-scenes footage was also on display in the CBS Sports retrospective, “Four Sides of the Story,” that aired this past fall.
In addition to working for UMBC, Dustin is an accomplished videographer, producer and photographer who has worked freelance broadcasts for the Golf Channel, ESPN and Terra Firma productions in Philadelphia. Dustin also enjoys mentoring students who have gone on to work with local TV stations as well as the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles. He will also help mentor aspiring YouTubers during the 2019 Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA), and he is working with DoIT’s instructional technology team to develop and award a series of video production related “badges” for key skills and competencies.

Welcome to 2019 - A New Year to Try These Tech Tools
Enhance your teaching toolbox with instructional technology!
It’s no secret that teaching and learning has been expanded to include technology beyond a slide show presentation. As a matter of fact, today’s students expect it! But do you know what technologies are available to you as an instructor at UMBC? Although there are many tools you can easily access to enhance both engagement and the learning outcomes of your students, below are some of the tech tools we support that you may want to add to your teaching tool box.
Register for TechFest 2019 on Friday, March 1st where you'll have the opportunity to try out the tools below:
Blackboard Ultra. Did you know that UMBC is planning to transition from Blackboard Learn to Blackboard Ultra (Bb UX)? Bb UX is a new Learning Management System with simplified features that make your course mobile-friendly and accessible to students. All instructors now have access to a Bb UX Course Preview when they log into Blackboard, so you can see what your current Blackboard Learn course looks like in the new system. Not using Blackboard yet? Use your sandbox to play around and create assignments and assessments, embed videos, deploy classroom discussions and schedule online class meetings! View the Blackboard Ultra FAQs, sign up for online Blackboard Office Hours, or attend one of DoIT’s Instructional Technology Team workshops to learn how to start using Bb UX!
Qwickly Attendance. Need an efficient way to take attendance in those 200+ student classes? Qwickly Attendance to the rescue! When using this tool with Blackboard, you can require students to check-in through a live session you create, send emails to absent students, and allow students to see their attendance records. Get started with Qwickly to make your attendance tasks easier!
Panopto. Has anyone ever asked if your lectures were recorded and available for review? Well you can make these available to your students using Panopto and do it right in Blackboard! Panopto now replaces TechSmith Relay and provides the capability to perform screen casting with voice, incorporate interactive quizzes right inside the video, and import results into your Blackboard grade book. This tool is also great for creating or identifying and adding supplemental lecture material for students to view outside of class. Don’t know where to start? View the recent Panopto webinar for a tool introduction or see the Panopto FAQs for help.
VoiceThread. Incorporate a host of online interactive strategies using this multimedia tool to get your students engaged! VoiceThread provides the ability for instructors and students to navigate a slide deck and provide responses via text, voice, audio file, or webcam. This tool is a great way to share comments with visual aids, conduct oral assessments, facilitate debates, or critique a document and do it all online! Start spicing up the online teaching and learning experience using the VoiceThread FAQs to find out how!
Respondus Lockdown Browser. Relief for your worries about academic integrity violations during assessments is available through the Respondus Lockdown Browser tool! When enabled, this tool proctors student exams taken through Blackboard’s Test tool. Students won’t be able to navigate other websites or applications during an assessment that has been deployed, and all questions must be answered in order to exit the exam. See the Respondus Lockdown Browser FAQs for more information on how to enable this helpful tool.

Instructor Training for Respondus 4 & the Test Bank Network
Learn how to quickly create and manage online exams!
Quickly Create Online Exams: Respondus 4 and the Test Bank Network
Respondus is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams that can be printed to paper or published directly to Blackboard. Exams can be created offline using a familiar Windows environment, or moved from one LMS to another. Whether you are a veteran of online testing or relatively new to it, Respondus will save you hours on each project.
Learn how to use Respondus 4 to quickly create and manage online exams — and see the brand-new user interface! With Respondus 4, exam can be printed or published directly to your online course. We'll also cover how the Respondus 4 and the Test Bank Network enable instructors to create online tests – in just minutes – from official publisher test banks.
Additional information about using Respondus 4.0 at UMBC can be found within the following FAQ:
Respondus is also offering training webinars on their Lockdown Browser and Monitor tools; learn more about those training opportunities

Submit Your TechFest ’19 Proposal Today!
Come share your favorite technologies and best practices.
The Instructional
Technology Team will celebrate its 4th Annual TechFest on March 1, 2019 and
is looking for presenters! TechFest is
designed to bring together UMBC students, faculty, and staff to demonstrate
instructional technology tools, discuss the use of learning analytics, and
share best practices with the campus community through workshops, presentations,
and hands-on activities. This year’s
event will be hosted alongside the Faculty Development Center’s Symposium
sponsored by the Provost’s office, providing a poster session and luncheon with
keynote address by renowned speaker Randy Bass.
Students, faculty, and staff are
all welcome and encouraged to attend.

in leading a 45-minute workshop session or providing a brief overview
of an instructional technology tool in the Technology Test Kitchen? Past
session topics have included Clickers, Blackboard, iCloud, Accessibility,
Phishing, CourseArc, and Lynda.com but new topics are encouraged and appreciated! Key
