  <Title>Sparks Dynamics Optimizes NIST Compressed Air System</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><h1>Sparks Dynamics Optimizes NIST Compressed Air System</h1><div><div><p>By Mac Mottley, CEO, Sparks Dynamics</p></div><p>The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), founded in 1901 is a measurement standards laboratory, and a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. Its mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST employs about 2,900 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support and administrative personnel. </p><p>Sparks Dynamics, a leading cloud based remote monitoring and data analytics technology company, entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with NIST researchers to develop industrial compressed air pattern analysis to enhance system efficiency and reliability.  The following is the CRADA objective from the statement of work:</p><p>“The objective of this project is to help the building automation industry develop novel products that more cost-effectively identify faults (unwanted conditions) and inefficiencies in the operation of the compressed air plants of industrial facilities.  More cost-effective fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) products can come to the building automation marketplace only after that industry makes very significant advances in the state-of-the-art of its FDD software tools from what it currently offers.  Those advances require making common practice of rules-based artificial intelligence (AI) methods that the building automation industry has shown little to no familiarity with in its technology so far.  This project will utilize, under controlled conditions, the compressed air plant of the NIST campus as a facility for test and development of an embedded rules-based FDD tool based upon NIST expertise.”</p><p><br></p><p>Read more at: <a href="http://www.airbestpractices.com/technology/compressor-controls/sparks-dynamics-optimizes-nist-compressed-air-system">http://www.airbestpractices.com/technology/compressor-controls/sparks-dynamics-optimizes-nist-compressed-air-system</a></p></div></div>

  <Title>DoIT and VART Partner on Lynda.com License</Title>
  <Tagline>Online tutorials to help free up faculty prep and class time</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>To help free up faculty time currently given to in-class software training or even home grown and self-curated online video demos, DoIT and Visual Arts (VART) have partnered to share a one-year, limited license to <a href="https://www.lynda.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lynda.com</a>, a leading provider of approximately 130,000 tutorials on the latest commercial software and effective business processes. The license is available now, and will allow all VART students, faculty and staff to <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/DgAEB" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">use their UMBC login to access</a> Lynda.com during the academic year.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Note</strong>: Anyone can try Lynda.com free for 7 days and it is free to patrons of <a href="http://www.aacpl.net/lynda" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Anne Arundel</a> and <a href="http://hclibrary.org/research/online-classes/lynda-com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Howard County</a> Libraries. If you are taking a visual arts class, you will also have access to Lynda.com. </div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div>Typically when it comes to teaching how to use software, faculty often create their own tutorials by using screen shots and assembling their own custom guides or they curate a variety of existing online videos and demos from YouTube and other sources. However, this creates a time-consuming production process that can compete with faculty course design or goals for student learning. With Lynda.com, the content itself is constantly updated to be current which helps provide the latest and greatest tutorials. </div><div><br></div><h4><em>“Students will be the most avid users of Lynda.com because it will function much like a comprehensive textbook…”</em></h4><div><em><br></em></div><div></div><div><img src="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/61270/attachments/21078" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div><div><em>Dr. Preminda Jacob, <span>Chair and Associate Professor of Art History and Museum Studies in the Department of Visual Arts,</span> was one of the main people involved with bringing Lynda.com to VART. </em></div><div><em><br></em></div><div><div>Dr. Preminda Jacob, Associate Professor and Chair for the Visual Arts Department, believes that both students and faculty will benefit immensely from the site. Jacob said, “...students will be the most avid users of Lynda.com because it will function much like a comprehensive textbook throughout their four years in training at UMBC.” </div><div><br></div><div>Faculty will be able to conduct part of the preparation for software programs in the classroom, but get students to learn the remaining sections in their own time. “This allows faculty to devote a larger percentage of class time to discussing the conceptual fundamentals of the course work instead of teaching students the mechanics of the software.” said Jacob.</div><div><br></div><h4><em>“...a student can go there with a specific problem, use the search function, and usually get very good insights.”</em></h4></div><div><em><br></em></div><div><div>Faculty are already excited with the prospects of online tutorials being widely available to everyone. Cathy Cooke, professor of Cinematic Arts, said “I also use Lynda.com to teach myself the ever-evolving technology changes that are happening rapidly, by the minute!”</div><div><br></div><div>Dan Bailey, professor of Animation, said “Lynda.com is good for tutorials, but it is also great for just "help"...a student can go there with a specific problem, use the search function, and usually get very good insights.” </div><div><br></div><div>Gary Rozanc, professor of Graphic Design, worked with Jacob on the initiative to bring the site to VART. Rozanc emphasizes how great the site will be for faculty to incorporate it into their research. “Print designers looking to learn more about interactive design can take courses on HTML/CSS or web developers can augment their toolbox with tutorials on programming for iOS and Android.” said Rozanc. </div><div><br></div><div><img src="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/61270/attachments/21108" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div><div><em>Welcome video to the course on Photoshop on lynda.com </em></div><div><br></div><div>Jacob estimates that her department will be able to leverage Lynda.com to teach students approximately 60 different art and media related software programs. These include but are not limited to tutorials on Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Photoshop.
