National Distance Learning Week 2020 Lunchtime Series
Surviving to Thriving: Rocking the New Normal of e-Learning
One in four students take some of their courses online, and two-thirds do so at a public institution in the same state where they live (Allen, Seaman, Pouline, & Straut, 2016; Allen & Seaman, 2017). This past spring, those numbers increased dramatically when the world turned upside down.
In early November, UMBC celebrates National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) with a series of lunchtime conversations. Our theme, Surviving to Thriving: Rocking the New Normal, celebrates all the successes and challenges our campus community has experienced as we continue to adapt, teach, and learn together during the pandemic. Topics include:
Care & Feeding of Your eLearning Community: Faculty & Students Together
Register via myUMBC ↗︎
Teaching and learning online can make everyone feel a little isolated, especially in today’s world of social distancing. With faculty and students separated, how do we create and maintain community? While you and your students might not be in the same physical space, there are some strategies you can use to build community and increase motivation.

Beyond Blank Screens: Designing Webinars for Interactivity
Register via myUMBC↗︎
Although web conferencing tools offer many opportunities to synchronously meet with your students, the experience is not quite a perfect match for the classroom experience. The rhythm of the conversation enhances and expands the interaction between students and instructors. While web conferencing tools support video for visual engagement, not all students want to be on camera. When faced with blank screens, how do we design our live sessions to maximize interactivity?

The 3 Cs of Online Learning: Communicate, Collaborate, Connect
Register via myUMBC↗︎
Earlier this year, EDUCAUSE surveyed graduating seniors who reported on what worked and what didn’t during remote instruction. As incoming college/university first-year students, they outlined what they hope their professors will do this fall and how they hope to become effective online students. While students craved structure and engagement, they also wanted clarity and flexibility. What does this mean for you as an online instructor?

Impact of OER on Student Access During Remote Instruction
Register via myUMBC ↗︎
In the Spring of 2020 the University System of Maryland surveyed faculty across the state to understand the extent to which they believed open educational resources (OER) did or could have improved students’ access to instructional materials and eased their transition to emergency remote teaching in response to COVID-19. Join our panel of OER adopters to learn more about how they’ve used OER before and after remote instruction, finding quality materials, and helping students easily access online materials.

GO Chat: The Future of eLearning at UMBC
Register via myUMBC↗︎
Online learning provides flexible opportunities to students who cannot come to campus. As UMBC invests in technology, support, outreach, and professional development, we’re faced with an important question about the future of e-Learning: Is COVID-19 merely a temporary distraction or a disruptive innovation? Join our closing roundtable for an active conversation about the future of online learning at UMBC.

From active learning and engagement to live instruction and asynchronous lecture capture, join us to discover and share the many ways e-learning has changed our teaching and learning practices.

More than 40% of UMBC Blackboard Courses Using Ultra
Ultra adoption continues to grow as UMBC faculty shifted to online learning in response to COVID-19 safety precautions. More than 40% of all active Blackboard courses are now using Ultra in the fall semester. The number of Ultra courses increased to 670 in FA2020 from 145 the previous year.
With the overwhelming majority of UMBC courses offered online this semester, Ultra offered faculty an easy way to set up and organize their courses, especially for the online format. Effective course design was demonstrated and reinforced through the PIVOT program and faculty cohort mentors. A deeply integrated web conferencing tool, Collaborate, supports synchronous engagement, while a wide range of third-party tools, such as Panopto, VoiceThread, and CourseArc, enhance the Ultra course environment.
When surveyed, faculty participants in the PIVOT program observed Ultra was “more intuitive” and “better adapted for online teaching.” Across all three colleges, Ultra adoption expanded to 51% of all CAHSS courses while CNMS and COEIT also saw a nearly 25% increase in Ultra course adoption.
While the new course interface expands its functionality to support assessment, engagement, and content creation, DoIT continues to share UMBC priorities with Ultra developers and track faculty feedback regarding tool availability and configurable options. As a result, a recent enhancement is the new batch group enrollment tool available in both Ultra and original courses, which is especially helpful for large enrollment courses.
For more information about Ultra, visit umbc.edu/go/ultra.
As always, if you have any questions about teaching, learning and technology at UMBC, please consider the following options:
Over the last week we received reports that some users were not receiving all email delivered voicemail messages. Yesterday, while investigating these reports it was discovered that some voicemail servers were operational but in a degraded state.
Around 10pm last night adjustments were made that are believed to have fully restored voicemail services. Some users may receive delayed voicemails but we don’t believe that any voicemails were lost.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. If you have additional questions or concerns about this work please feel free to contact me.

UMBC has enabled Google Shared Drives inside of Google Drive
Shared drives allow a group of people to maintain a set of files and folders inside Google without having them owned by an individual. This means no more worrying about a person leaving and losing access to that critical document since everything is stored and owned by the group. You can easily add/remove people within a shared drive, and you can create them for a department, organization, workgroup, committee or any other type of collaboration. If you have a Google group you can even add the entire group to a shared drive, and manage permissions through the Google group.
To create a Google Shared Drive, please review our documentation here - https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/faq/Google+Shared+Drive
If you would like to setup a Google group for your team/organization to manage calendar meetings/shared drive access, please fill out the form here - http://doit.umbc.edu/request-tracker-rt/listgroup/
If you have any questions about google shared drives, please feel free to email me directly or call or contact our Technology Support Center at rt.umbc.edu or at x53838.
Thank you,
Damian Doyle
Associate Vice President
DoIT - UMBC

Scam Emails Trying to Impersonate a UMBC Member
Look Closlely At The Headers Before You Respond
Below is an example of a scam email that has recently been reported to DoIT. The email below the scammer tries to impersonate a member of the UMBC by setting the From email name to that of a UMBC email user. The name has been removed for privacy reasons.
From: FORGED NAME <hya270926@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Sep 15, 2020 Subject: UMBC Student Government Association To: <@umbc.edu>
Hello <Users Name>,
How are you doing today, I hope this finds you well? Are you currently free? Please I need you to handle a request on my behalf, If yes, email me at the earliest opportunity.
Regards FORGED NAME |
This recent phishing attempt has the scammer trying to impersonate a member of the UMBC. These emails are a bit more personalized with the scammer saying “Hello <Users Name>” as well as having the impersonated name at the bottom of the email in the email’s signature.
This email does show some red flags of being a phishing email. First, the email itself is coming from a Gmail account and not a UMBC email account. Second, the email itself has a sense of urgency, urging the user to respond at the “earliest opportunity.”
If you do receive this or a similar email that you suspect is a scam, please do not click on any URL or reply. Either of those actions confirms to the sender that your email address is valid. Please forward the message (with the email headers) to security@umbc.edu.

Tracking Code Scam
Purchasing Non-Existent Goods
Tracking Code Scam
The Better Business Bureau warns of a scam where malicious actors aim to deceive online shoppers into paying for goods that do not actually exist. This is done by the scammers creating fake websites that are selling products with great deals, usually selling brand named goods at a significant discount.
If the user decides to take a chance and make the purchase, the site is said to instruct the user to pay through PayPal. After checkout the user will receive a tracking number from UPS, FedEx, or another shipping service. After awhile if the user checks the package is said to be delivered but to the wrong address.
If the user tries to contact the website they will learn that the site is either unresponsive or unhelpful. Some cases, the site does not even provide contact information and in others they just do not respond to any emails or calls.
Some of the victims of this scam reported filing a claim with PayPal for their money back but because the scammer technically shipped the package and the tracking number marked it as delivered, PayPal was rejecting their claims.
The articles linked below gives some tips on spotting Package Delivery Scams and other online shopping related scams:
Before paying, know your rights and responsibilities. In any type of scam, scammers might try to take advantage of what consumers do not know when it comes to processing payment. Do not make a purchase from any seller that seems suspicious and do not assume that you’ll be protected no matter what.
Before buying online, confirm the site has real contact information. Make sure the seller has a working phone number and address on the website, so you can contact them in case of a problem.
If the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Be wary if the item is selling for significantly lower than what you have seen elsewhere.
Make sure you know who you are dealing with, they advise you check the spelling and the domain names. As well as to google the website to see if the website has had any complaints.
Scam websites usually have poor grammar and spelling, a lack of information, and capital letters in the middle of sentences.
Make sure the website is using https:// as a trusted website will have a secure domain so that your information is safe. Make sure to also check the address bar for a “not secure” message as that is another red flag.
Check for the website's privacy policy to understand what personal information is being requested. If there isn’t a privacy policy that is a red flag.
Research the business first to make sure it is legitimate before giving them any of your personal and/or financial information.
