NSF Report needs Visuals and Publications
Dear Researchers, Colleagues, and Students first and foremost,
For the final report of the NSF MRI grant, we need nice visuals,
such as plots of results of simulations, tables of results, or
photos in the broadest sense. Please think back, if you have something
nice to share.
Also, review again your publications and send me information on them.
It is critical for the continued success of HPCF and its support both
from the NSF and UMBC that we can show the richest possible outcomes.
To this end, please also particularly send me information on student
theses (senior/undergraduate, MS, PhD). If you just graduated and receive
this mail, please e-mail me!

Scheduled Power Outage Affecting HPCF
Hi Everyone,
The user nodes (taki-usr1 & taki-usr2) are now safely shut-down in preparation for the scheduled power outage in the data center that houses the cluster. All running jobs were stopped.
Please note that for those of you with access to research storage separate from the HPCF, we are bringing research storage systems down as well.
We expect all research storage systems to be back online tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned to this myUMBC Group for further updates and related news & events.

Jack Malone retires
Congratulations!
Jack Malone is retiring from DoIT AV Services. When he arrived on campus on September 10, 2001, this was going to be "just a job," but it turned out to be much more. Jack became an informal mentor to countless student employees, many becoming lifelong friends, visiting over a decade after graduation. He supported instructors, and installed AV systems and digital signage all over campus. It is virtually impossible to have not benefited from his handiwork, which also saved the campus tens of thousands of dollars. His proudest achievement was the work he performed with Student Disability Services, creating custom AV solutions to give challenged students the best in-classroom experience possible. He has made an important and lasting impression on his coworkers, clients, and the campus community, and will be missed greatly. We wish him the best!

- Students must click on the click on the same RLDB download link as the Windows/Mac versions to obtain the extension link for installation.
- Instructor-created passwords passwords for assessments are NOT currently supported. Please do NOT remove the automatically generated passcode set by Respondus to secure the test environment.
- The “Early Exit” feature in LockDown Browser isn’t currently supported.
- LockDown Browser’s Calculator and Spreadsheet features aren’t currently supported.
- The extended keyboard functions (for adding symbols and special characters) isn’t currently available.
- LockDown Browser’s internally linked “Help Center” is currently unavailable.
The how-to instructions for faculty and for students are posted to the FAQs. To report a bug/issue with the Chromebook beta, please open a support ticket with Respondus directly so your feedback is escalated with their developers. Be sure to indicate you are using LockDown Browser for Chromebook.
At this time, the Chromebook extension does not support Ultra tests. UMBC continues to monitor development of this functionality.

New Batch Group Management Tool Available in Bb Ultra
Custom solution works in both Ultra & Original courses
Group management is one of the most important tools in a Blackboard course. For large courses, group management is a critical component of assigning students to groups and managing engagement or content. While conditional availability support for groups is currently in development, we are pleased to announce that the custom solution we've been working on with Blackboard is available for piloting!
This tool works like the Original version for
bulk creating groups and
enrolling students in those groups by using a CSV file. However, since it leverages Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards, this tool works in both Ultra AND Original courses. Faculty who teach an Original course can use the default Groups tool or the new
Users Groups Workflow tool as both will serve the same function.
The Users Groups Workflow tool is available now in all courses. Please note:
- We are aware that the tool has some loading issues on Google Chrome Browser (v85) and, for some, Safari – a fix is in development. Please use Firefox instead.
- Faculty who teach Original courses can test the new tool as it works the same as Ultra courses.
- Faculty should NOT convert their live Original courses or previously taught Original courses to Ultra to test this tool. If you wish to try the tool specifically in Ultra, please open an RT to clone your course.
- This new tool only supports bulk creation and enrollments. It does NOT create any group spaces for students, control content delivery, or filter groups in the gradebook.
- Future development for conditional availability to release content to groups and smart views for groups in the gradebook is on the Ultra roadmap for SP/SU2021.
Instructional Technology staff continues to document faculty feedback and work with Ultra developers to improve the Ultra course experience. Please contact an Ultra Ambassador or open an RT ticket to share your feedback about the new groups tool.
As always, if you have any questions, please consider the following options:
