This seven-episode limited series from the University of Maryland, Baltimore's Moving the Needle podcast features conversations with Maryland educators who started exactly where you might be now -- interested but uncertain about AI's place in higher education.

Each 30-minute episode features conversations with innovative educators who share:
  • Their personal journey from AI-curious to AI-confident
  • Detailed explanations of their classroom implementations
  • One thing you can try tomorrow in your own teaching

Whether you’re just beginning to explore generative AI or already building confidence, each episode meets you where you are. We’re all navigating how to learn and teach with this evolving technology, and our guests share practical, real-world examples to help you along the way. We hope these conversations inspire you to take your next step, however small, in exploring AI's potential in your own teaching practice.

Episode Lineup

The carefully curated lineup features faculty from diverse disciplines and institutions who understand the caution many faculty (and students) feel about AI

  • AI & Information Literacy: Teaching Students to Think Critically with Ben Shaw (Teaching and Learning Librarian, University of Maryland, College Park)
  • Ask the AI: Business Assignments That Boost Engagement with Bill Carter (Associate Professor, University of Baltimore Merrick School of Business)

The DML offers free equipment loans, two recording spaces, and Mac editing stations. 


What kind of equipment do you have?
Quite a few models of DSLRs plus tripods, audio recorders, camcorders, mini-projectors, and DVD drives (among others). Find a full list and details on our website under "Equipment that can be checked out."

Unless you request an item, everything is available on a first-come, first-served basis.


How do I request an item for pickup at the Circulation desk?
It's pretty easy! Visit this website and click on what you want, then sign in with your myUMBC credentials and click "Request from UMBC."

Note: when you request an item, you enter a queue for the next available one. 


What new equipment have you added?
Glad you asked. We've now got:
  • Aaxa P6 projectors with built-in streaming apps
  • Two-person Rode podcast kits with USB connection and optional crane arms
  • Four-person Rode podcast kit with USB connection and optional crane arms
Note: the podcast kit bags are bulky


How do I book time in the Whisper Room or A/V Room?
On our website under Spaces, choose the room and click "Reserve this Space." You need to book the room at least 24 hours in advance (walk-ups are fine if no one reserved it).

FYI, the Whisper Room only fits one person!


Do I need a reservation to use a Mac?
Nope, no reservation needed. You must use headphones and we may restrict conversations if someone is recording. The Macs have Adobe CC, Final Cut Pro, Audacity, Garage Band, and other standard software. One has a flatbed scanner that can process slide negatives.


How do I find you?
It can be tricky! We're in room 216H on the second floor, next to the Honors College. 

From the elevators: turn left and go until you see a bunch of double doors on your right. Pass through those doors and continue straight. We've got a digital sign outside our door.


Can I bring my class or student org to tour the DML?
Absolutely! Please reach out to circlib-group@umbc.edu and staff will coordinate your visit.

Emergency communication over cellular networks (4G, 5G, and beyond) is a vital part of our nation’s emergency response and disaster preparedness system. Its security, however, is still far from satisfactory due to cellular-specific technical challenges and the diversified requirements from standards organizations and administrative authorities.

She will share our research insights and findings on (1) identifying design defects in cellular emergency services standards, and (2) investigating the security of operational emergency services in the U.S., as well as the technical challenges we encountered and how to address them.  Her results show that operational cellular emergency services can be abused in deniable ways. She will also discuss emerging challenges and opportunities for safeguarding next-generation emergency services.

Yiwen Hu is an assistant professor in the CSEE Department at UMBC. She received her Ph.D. in computer science from Michigan State University and her B.S. degree from Zhejiang University, China. Her research interests span wireless communication, network security, mobile systems and applications. Her recent work focuses on safeguarding next-generation emergency services and advancing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications.

You can participate in the online seminar via WebEx.
