Bb Achievements to Support Competency Based Learning
Use badges to motivate & reward students via gamification
As
announced earlier this semester, Winter and Spring 2015 courses will be hosted by Blackboard directly instead of by DoIT. As part of this change, we will also upgrade to the Spring 2014 version of the software, which provides
several new features.
In this migration update, we'll highlight the new Achievements tool.
What are Achievements?
If you have watched anyone playing a video game, you know how the digital universe motivates people. Faculty can also motivate students in the upcoming Blackboard with a form of "gamification" by incorporating badges into their courses. With the Blackboard achievements tool, faculty can provide this kind of incentive by designing a badge system to encourage students to explore and participate more.
A student's badge collection can represent the key learning milestones that he or she met. Earned badges can show a complete view of a person’s skills and achievements.
Being rewarded is also a powerful extrinsic motivator. One of the best rewards is recognition for a job well done. Finally, providing these opportunities for rewarding students throughout a course can create a map of what they can learn.

VPN client changing to JunOS Pulse over the next few weeks
Please note the change in rollout timing
The current campus VPN client, Network Connect, does not work with the new MAC Yosemite operating system and is no longer supported by the Vendor for the current Mac or PC operating system. We will be switching over to JunOS Pulse over the next few weeks on a group by group basis. We will be working with individual VPN stake holders and the effected to departments to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Users follow the same process by going to
https://vpn.umbc.edu and logging in with your username and password. Instead of clicking the Network Connect button you will now click the JunOS Pulse button located in its place. It should automatically install just like Network Connect and should function in the same manner.
The FAQs for both Mac and PC can be found below and will be updated before tomorrow. One thing to note for the Mac side is that you should launch this through firefox if possible since safari needs to have its java settings adjusted in order to work correctly.
Mac FAQ:
Windows FAQ:
Desktop support staff will be available as we do the cutover to help anyone who has trouble, please call the TSC if you have any questions or run into any issues using the Pulse client.
Thank you,
Damian

TechSmith Relay Update
Scheduled Maintenance
We will update the software on the TechSmith Relay server Friday, October 31 at 9:00 AM. The update should take about an hour. If one attempts to upload a recording during this window of time then the file will remain on the recording machine until the server is available again, at which point the recording will upload in the background as usual.

UMBC Establishes Adobe Campus Site License
Adobe Creative Cloud now Available through myUMBC
This summer, working through the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium (MEEC), UMBC established a faculty/staff site license with Adobe for their new Creative Cloud offering (see detailed list of software below). This allows the use of the Adobe products on all institutional computers and includes a work-at-home provision for faculty and staff.
One challenge we had is that the contract could not go into effect till August 25th. As a result, we worked closely with Adobe to prioritize getting the software ready for the start of classes in UMBC instructional labs. The software is now available to download to faculty and staff desktops on the myUMBC software downloads page. Note: The work-at-home provision requires people to go through a 3rd party company and Adobe’s online portal. We are working with Adobe to get this up and running and will update our FAQs with information.
DoIT has updated both myUMBC and the software downloads page.
The adobe offering includes the following products:
Adobe Acrobat Pro XI
Adobe After Effects CC
Adobe Audition CC
Adobe Bridge
Adobe Dreamweaver CC
Adobe Edge Animate CC
Adobe Edge Code CC
Adobe Edge Inspect CC
Adobe Edge Reflow CC
Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit
Adobe Encore (included in Adobe Premiere Pro)
Adobe Extension Manager
Adobe Fireworks
Adobe Flash Builder Premium CC
Adobe Flash Professional CC
Adobe Illustrator CC
Adobe InCopy CC
Adobe InDesign CC
Adobe Lightroom
Adobe Media Encoder CC
Adobe Muse
Adobe Photoshop CC
Adobe Prelude™ CC
Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Adobe Scout CC
Adobe SpeedGrade™ CC

DoIT Organizational Leadershop Changes
Over the last year, we’ve been reviewing the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) organizational structure and focusing on building a broad and strong leadership team. As part of this effort we have looked at how our staff’s duties have changed over the last few years. At the same time, we have seen a number of staff leave to take new positions (Mike Carlin and Jesse Beauman left for UNC-Charlotte) or through retirement.
As a result, there are a number of changes that have taken place in DoIT and we want to update the community on these changes:
Arnold Foelster is now Director, Student Administration. Arnold is focused on operating and supporting our administrative systems used by students and faculty.
Stacy Long is now Director, HR & Finance Systems. Stacy is focused on operating and supporting our administrative systems used for HR and Finance.
Kevin Joseph is now Director, Business Analytics. Kevin oversees the technical implementation and operation of REX and ImageNow.
Todd Haddaway is now Director, Identity & Database Systems. Todd oversees the technical implementation of Identity Management and our Oracle Database Management Systems.
Tony Finneran is now Manager, Finance Systems. Tony is the lead on pre-award and post-award grants management and finance.
Kashka Donaldson is now Coordinator, ImageNow. Kashka oversees the work on ImageNow.
Damian Doyle is now Interim Director, Enterprise Infrastructure. Damian is responsible for the network, servers, storage and high performance computing.
Andrea Mocko is now Acting Coordinator of our Technology Support Center (TSC).
I want to congratulate all those listed above and thank them for all they have contributed to the success of DoIT and UMBC.

UMBC Achieves InCommon Bronze Certification
UMBC has become the third higher-education organization in the country to become certified for the Bronze Identity Assurance Profile under the
InCommon Assurance Program.
InCommon developed the assurance program as part of its mission to provide secure and privacy-preserving trust services for its participants. Enabling higher-value, higher-risk services requires increased trust by the organizations that run the identity and cloud services.
“UMBC believes Identity management is absolutely essential to campus cyber security, and Bronze represents consensus best practice in identity management,” said Jack Suess, Vice President of Information Technology and CIO at UMBC. “It is in our interest to utilize these best practices in designing and implementing our identity management processes.”
InCommon currently has two US-Government approved assurance profiles — Bronze and Silver. Bronze is comparable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Assurance 1 level, which has credential security adequate for basic Internet interactions. Silver, comparable to NIST’s level of Assurance 2, requires proof of identity and has security appropriate for higher-risk transactions.
At InCommon’s monthly IAM webinar series, Todd Haddaway, UMBC’s Director of Database and Identity Management, presented on the topic of UMBC’s experience with obtaining Bronze certification. The webinar can be viewed from the
InCommon IAM Online webinar homepage.

Alternate Delivery Program Call for Participation Released
Hybrid/Online Course Redesign for Summer and Winter Courses
Faculty who are interested in effective hybrid course delivery are invited to submit a proposal
for this innovative faculty support program.
The Alternate Delivery Program (ADP) offers technical, pedagogical, and financial support to a selected cohort of faculty members who agree to convert an existing in-person course to hybrid delivery mode and offer that course in Summer Session 2015. The 2015 ADP
will begin in January, 2015 with a two day workshop for faculty (January 14th and January 15th) and the course conversion process will continue throughout the spring
semester with technical support from DoIT's Instructional Technology Team.
Proposals will also be considered from faculty who wish to convert a
course to hybrid delivery and offer that course in Winter Session
2016.
For more information, please contact the POCs identified in the ADP Call for Participation, or plan to attend the ADP Information Session in November. The proposal submission deadline is December 5th.

Reminder-Clicker Orders Due to Bookstore by October 24!
Faculty who plan to use clickers for instruction during the Spring 2015 semester will need to have device order(s) submitted to the Bookstore no later than Friday, October 24, 2014. This deadline allows the Bookstore to shop national wholesalers early for used books and items, prepare for buyback, avoid sending back to publishers leftover stock that will be reused next semester, and notify faculty of any availability problems.
The University’s due date for textbook and course materials information is Monday, November 24, 2014. The University has instituted this deadline so that all textbook information, including clicker requirements, may be posted on the Bookstore's website, in adherence with State Law, as students prepare for their Spring 2015 schedules.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the UMBC bookstore at textbook@umbc.edu or 410-455-2699.

VPN malfunctioning after Mac OS X Yosemite upgrade
If you routinely use the UMBC VPN (https://vpn.umbc.edu) and are a Apple Mac user we would strongly recommend waiting and not upgrading to the new OSX Yosemite that came out this past Thursday 10/16. This upgrade will break the functionality of the Juniper Network Connect VPN client. DoIT will be working to test several solutions over the next few days and we hope to release an updated VPN client that will work with the new OS within a week.
Once we have finished our testing and developed documentation for the new client we will post another news article and the Technology Support Center and Desktop Support will be prepared to assist users with any questions regarding the new client.
If you have upgraded to Yosemite and require the VPN, go to
http://rt.umbc.edu to open a support ticket and we will work with you to get you working on the new client before its officially released.
Thanks in advance for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
Damian
