  <Title>Bb Collaborate Training Webinar Links Now Available</Title>

    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Blackboard Collaborate is the web-based conferencing system that <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/12/blackboard_coll.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">DoIT staff installed on the UMBC Bb servers</a> in December, 2011.  It allows faculty to incorporate live, multi-way audio and video, a basic whiteboard with mark-up, application and desktop sharing and other tools for interactivity.  It can also be used asynchronously; faculty can narrate a lecture presentation (including Power Point slides), save the recording, and make it available for students to access via Blackboard.
    
    Recently Blackboard Collaborate, Inc. provided 4 two-hour training sessions to staff from <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/doit/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">DoIT</a>, the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/aok/main/index.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">AOK Library</a>, and <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/cps/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CPS</a>. These sessions were recorded and are now available for anyone to view. The first session is an overview of the basic features of Bb Collaborate.  The second session includes advanced features appropriate for faculty interested in running synchronous online sessions with their students.  The third session covers the use of the software packages <a href="http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Products/Blackboard-Collaborate/Web-Conferencing/Plan.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Plan!</a> and <a href="http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Products/Blackboard-Collaborate/Web-Conferencing/Publish.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Publish!</a>  <a href="http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Products/Blackboard-Collaborate/Web-Conferencing/Plan.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Plan!</a> allows faculty to prepare complex Collaborate sessions with many features (such as slides, interactive white board exercises, and quizzes) ahead of time.  <a href="http://www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Collaborate/Products/Blackboard-Collaborate/Web-Conferencing/Publish.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Publish!</a> is a tool that allows you to download a recorded presentation in several formats including as an .mp4 video file.  The final session focuses on the integration of all of the previously covered features.  Links to these sessions are below:

    <Title>SU2012 Bb Course Shells Created on 4/16</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">Bb course shells for SU 2012 were created on April 16, and will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, or discussion) listed in the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/schedule" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC)</a>, provided that there was an <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/08/how_new_employe_1.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">instructor of record</a> listed. The addition of new course sections and instructors will result in new Bb shells being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update hourly.
          
          If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/schedule" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">SOC</a>, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved.
          
          Additionally in situations where one instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, by default all sections will be combined into one Bb course shell. If you want to have separate shells for different sections, or if you need a shell for for a research or independent study course, please submit a <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/doit/blackboard/requestbbshell.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">new course request</a> or <a href="https://my.umbc.edu/go/request-help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">submit an RT ticket</a> with your request. 
          
          As a reminder, all Bb course shells are initially unavailable to students until the instructor <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867862" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">makes it available</a>.</div>

    <Title>Known Issue: Error Accessing Blackboard Wiki Tool (RESOLVED)</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><strong>UPDATE:</strong> DoIT staffed installed the patch for the Blackboard wiki error during the downtime on Friday, April 20, and the wiki tool is now functioning normally.
          
          <strong>UPDATE:</strong> Blackboard has verified that the wiki error we are experiencing is a known issue (LRNSI-5667)  and is due to a Java resource leak which results in unexpected behavior of the tool.  DoIT is currently testing the patches provided by Blackboard, in anticipation of installing them on the production server Friday night. 
          
          -------------
          
          DoIT is tracking a problem involving the Blackboard Wiki tool.  When users try to create or access an existing Bb wiki, <a href="&lt;a%20href=" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">an error</a> is generated. DoIT staff are working with Blackboard, Inc. to troubleshoot this issue and we hope to have a solution soon.
          
          We apologize for the inconvenience.</div>
