On July 1, 2012, Audio Visual (AV) Services began reporting to Enterprise Infrastructure and Support (EIS), a move that reflects a broader need to integrate and coordinate UMBC’s classroom technology infrastructure, not just end user support. 

For example, in the past, lecture halls and labs were supported by two different Division of Information Technology (DoIT) groups: AV handled data projectors, audio systems and VHS/DVD components, while Desktop Computing (part of EIS) handled computer hardware, software and networking. With increased demand for “smart classrooms,” and opening of the new Performing Arts & Humanities building this summer, DoIT wanted to take a more holistic approach to infrastructure planning and support. EIS reports to Mike Carlin, Associate Vice President and Deputy Chief Information Officer (CIO), who can be reached at 410.455.2578 or mikec@umbc.edu. 

The combining of AV Services and Desktop Computing completes a DoIT reorganization that began last summer, when the Technology Support Center (formerly Help Desk) began reporting to Instructional Technology & New Media (ITNM). In addition, the TSC moved to the library to support the Retriever Learning Center, and provide a more visible campus location for initial IT support of students, faculty and staff. 

ITNM is co-located with the Faculty Development Center in Engineering 101, and still provides user support for Blackboard, clickers, hybrid learning, Scantron test scoring, and video and web development through the New Media Studio. ITNM reports to John Fritz, Assistant Vice President, who can be reached at 410.455.6596 or fritz@umbc.edu.

Have you always wanted to be able to anonymously poll your staff on important questions during staff meetings?  DoIT is now offering the opportunity for faculty and administrators to do just that via ResponseWare by Turning Technologies.  Using ResponseWare in conjunction with Turning Point Anywhere, faculty can present a question during lecture and have students respond in real-time using a Wi-Fi or data connection, and their own smartphones, laptops or tablets.  Audience responses can be displayed for immediate assessment. Participants can either log in anonymously or by name, and the polling results can be captured for further analysis if desired.

DoIT has a 75-seat license of ResponseWare available for ad hoc usage for classes and meetings.  Interested faculty and staff would need to submit an RT ticket including the specific date and time of their class/ meeting, along with the total number of students/ participants.  They would then need to create a free ResponseWare account (using their UMBC E-mail address) and download and install the Turning Point Anywhere software (available for Mac or PC).  DoIT staff will add them to the ResponseWare license as authorized presenters for a limited amount of time.

Presenters would then complete the following steps in order to start polling:
  1. Reserve a ResponseWare session ID
  2. Open the ResponsWare session for participants to connect to
  3. Display the question you want your participants to answer (you can embed questions in a MS Power Point presentation or any other type of file you can display, or create questions directly in Turning Point Anywhere)
  4. Press the start polling arrow in Turning Point Anywhere.
  5. Press the same button to stop polling, and the results will display automatically on the screen, as well as on participants' devices.

For further information on using Turning Point Anywhere please register for a clicker workshop on the myUMBC Training group, or if you have at least 4 interested people, contact Karin Readel (readel@umbc.edu) to arrange for cohort-based training.

Previously created or recorded Bb Collaborate sessions remain on version 11, but any sessions created after August 13 will automatically be on version 12.  There are several new features or improvements, most notably echo cancellation.  This makes it much easier to participate in a session using the computer's built in microphone and speakers, vs. requiring a headset/ microphone.  Other new features include new chat options, and easier access for moderators to view global permissions or to give control of shared applications to participants.  More information on these new features can be found in this document.

An introductory Bb Collaborate Training Workshop has been scheduled for August 27, from 2-3:30 pm in ENGR 025. To register, please go to this event on the myUMBC Training Group.  More workshops will be scheduled if there is sufficient demand. Additionally if departments are interested in "cohort specific training" and can guarantee a minimum of 4 participants, we will work with you to arrange a suitable time. Please submit an RT ticket if you are interested in this latter option.   ]]> DoIT recently upgraded the Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing software to version 12.

During this time, Winter 2013 Bb courses will run on a separate Bb server and be created by December 1, 2012. After the WT2013 semester is completed (and the SP2013 semester is started), Winter courses will be migrated to the new production Bb server.

In addition to staying current with Bb's latest release which improves UMBC's support, the new version of Bb has a streamlined interface you can try out now:
Currently, we are running version 9.1.6 and plan to upgrade to version 9.1.10 (depending on what version is available in October when the Winter server is built). In addition to highlighting new features that will be available, DoIT will attach or post a link to Blackboard's software "release notes" soon after they are available. 

DoIT will announce face-to-face and online "Bb Drop In" sessions later in the semester, and will also provide cohort-based training for departments that can assure a minimum of four (4) faculty and/or staff will be present (dates & times TBD). To request cohort training, submit an "online learning" request via rt.umbc.edu.

DoIT and the Faculty Development Center will be offering the Hybrid Course Redesign Workshop on January 18, 2013 from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm in ENGR 023 on UMBC's Main Campus. In the morning participants will learn the principles of good course design, including designing assignments and assessments that help students achieve the goals for their learning. Lunch will be provided and participants will hear from a panel of faculty experienced in teaching hybrid courses. In the afternoon faculty will apply the principles of good course design from the morning session to planning a hybrid course (part-online, part face-to face), and gain hands-on experience with some of the technology tools that are effective in online teaching. This workshop is open to all full or part time UMBC faculty and is limited to 14 participants. To register, please go to this event on the myUMBC Training site.

The workshop will also help meet the requirements for a one-time course-redesign stipend through the Alternate Delivery program (ADP), which is sponsored by both the Office of the Provost, and the Office of Summer, Winter and Special Programs (OSWSP).

In order to load all lab and lecture hall computers with our standard set of software (known as an "image"), all requests for additions/changes for Spring or Winter 2013  must be received by Wednesday, Oct. 31. Software requested for the fall semester will be carried over to the spring semester.

To be added to the lab & lecture hall image, DoIT must have the following:

Please submit an RT ticket containing the required information or contact 410.455.3838 and a Technology Support Center (TSC) staff member will assist you. If the request is not received by the deadline, there is no guarantee the requested software will be made available.

For an instructor-only demo of software, please use a laptop. If you don't have a laptop, you can reserve and pick up one at AV Services (020 ENGR Bldg).

If you need software installed on the lab image for a one-time purpose (for example, a 2-day workshop in which all users need access to the software), the request should be submitted no less than six (6) weeks prior to the first lab reservation for that class. The software will be removed once you are done.

An e-mail will be sent to the requester once the software is installed, typically 1-2 week(s) before the first use of the software; faculty/instructors need to then test the software to ensure everything is working as expected for class. Support for the software is the responsibility of the instructor or department who requested that the software be installed.

Again, proof of purchase and/or license must be provided for as many copies as will be needed for the students in the class. We cannot install software without appropriate proof of licensing.

Although DoIT will make a reasonable effort to get all software packages to work, we can not guarantee that they will. Some packages may not function because of the network, computer hardware, and lab setup. DoIT cannot be held responsible for software that does not work by class time. Please contact the TSC at 410.455.3838 if you have any additional questions.
