Partial Web Services Outage tonight around 9:00pm
This evening shortly there was an issue with one of the network switches in our secondary data center which caused several campus web services to be either unreachable or slow for a period of time. Service was restored to many of the effected services shortly after 9:00pm, and full service was restored by 9:45 to all production services.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we will be working hard to prevent future unplanned outages from occurring.

FA2015 Courses Created on Blackboard on 7/15/2015
Blackboard course shells for FA2015 were created on July 15, 2015.
Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there is an instructor of record listed. As new course sections and/or instructors are added to the SOC, corresponding Bb shells are automatically generated overnight. If you need a shell for a research or independent study course, please submit a new course request.
Instructors who teach multiple sections of the same course will find those enrollments merged into one Bb course shell. These sections can be split upon request an RT ticket. Student enrollment in Bb mirrors the official registration in SA and updates hourly. However, courses are not accessible to students by default until the instructor makes them available.
If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the SOC, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to resolve the issue. Once you are listed in the SOC, your Bb course shell will be created automatically.

Campus Invited to Test Java-Free Blackboard Collaborate
Early release supports limited virtual classrooms & meetings
A new Java-free version of Blackboard Collaborate is now available for faculty and staff to test-drive this summer. Classified as the "Ultra Experience," this release of Bb Collaborate uses the web browser as the delivery format for virtual classrooms, meetings, and other engagement opportunities.
Blackboard consulted with hundreds of faculty throughout the world to redesign Bb Collaborate to give you a better teaching and learning experience. The updated Collaborate provides a clutter-free, intuitive interface with crisp audio and high definition video tools in a stable environment. The Ultra experience dynamically adjusts, according to bandwidth and network constraints. Four unique roles are available: Moderator, Presenter, Captioner, and Participant. The Captioner role allows faculty to provide accessible alternatives to audio content for participants who are hearing impaired, as well as for participants whose native language is different from the moderator's. The Participant role is designed to allow students to present without giving them full moderator privileges. Collaborate Ultra provides a basic whiteboard and supports image, PDF, and PowerPoint sharing.
There are some limitations for this initial release of Bb Collaborate Ultra:
- Rooms are not yet available in Blackboard Learn. As such, faculty and staff request a virtual space via RT ticket.
- Recording is not yet available.
- Collaborate Ultra's room capacity is currently limited to 50 users at this time.
- The Chrome browser provides the best experience; a specific Chrome extension is required for desktop/app sharing in a session.
Consider using the Ultra experience if you use office hours, lectures, and small group collaboration. On the other hand, you may want to stay with the Classic experience (e.g., the Java-based Collaborate that is accessible in Bb Learn) if you have large group collaboration, conduct deep teaching and learning that requires the use of polling or breakout rooms, and have large-scale webinars.
For more information about Bb Collaborate Ultra, please see these resources:

Time Donut Tool Shows What Really Is Time Consuming
New UMBC tool helps manage time for college students
Attending class, doing homework, joining student organizations, and working at internships all have one thing in common; they take up student’s time. Ever wondered if you could better manage your time but didn't have the tool available to find out? Enter the Time Donut, a new tool, mobile friendly tool developed through the
STEM Transfer Student Success Initiative. Although initially developed for STEM majors, the tool is available for all to use and can be also found on the
advising UMBC website.
UMBC’s Time Donut tool helps students track what they are doing by visualizing their time through data using emerging web technologies including HTML5 and D3.js. Students simply enter the expected number of hours spent into four categories -- academic, work, health and personal -- while specifying daily or weekly versions of the time donut.
Bryan Lee, IT Projects Coordinator, said “We see students putting too much on their plate, they have to either withdraw, get an incomplete, or even worse fail the class because they realized they took too big of a bite.”
The time donut tool can show if that happening. As you enter in your expected hours, the donut alerts you when you go over and says “Whoops! Adjust your time allotments.” As you get closer to your time allotments, the donut alerts you and says “Doing great! You still have time.”
Also available is a Weekly Activities Worksheet of the time donut for those who don’t know how much time they spend in each category. The worksheet helps you figure out your totals for the week which you can then enter into the weekly time donut or enter your averages into the daily Time Donut.
“This is for those who are looking to improve on their time management skills,” says Lee “Time management skills are really important in the professional world and honing in on these skills will really help.”
Why is it called a time donut? Lee says “Well, it started with the name of the type of data visualization, 'donut chart'. And since we were using the chart to illustrate total number of hours, we combined the two ideas and came up with Time Donut and it just stuck."
As a student goes through and sees there isn’t that much time in the day, they realize that taking 21 credits with a part time job along with balancing student organizations might not be the best course of action.
The time donut is a useful tool for anyone who needs help with time management. “Play around with it, see what works and doesn’t work.” says Lee, “You might find that the amount of hours you spend you could actually be doing more.”

Top 3 Reasons to Use Eduroam
Users get improved reliability, security and ease of use
The “UMBC Campus” wireless network will transition to a much more improved network: eduroam. The network provides encrypted traffic for any device you use and features a one time setup process that can be used on any campus that supports eduroam, not just UMBC. UMBC will discontinue the UMBC Campus WiFi SSID name later in calendar year 2015. Eduroam is supported on
Mac OS X,
Windows,
Linux,
iOS, and
Android.
1.
Availability: Originally developed in Europe, eduroam also supports people in higher education using wireless networks at other higher education institutions. Eduroam has expanded beyond the 1900 institutions using it in Europe to include over 30 countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United States. So any UMBC student, faculty or staff member traveling abroad can use their UMBC email address and password to access WiFi around the world. In Maryland, UMCP, Loyola, University of Baltimore, and JHU have implemented eduroam and you can use their WiFi when visiting those campus.
2.
Quick and easy: Damian Doyle, Director of Enterprise Infrastructure and Support, thinks eduroam is great for students. When asked about the main advantages, he said “eduroam can remember your login information allowing your device to automatically connect to the wireless network.” Setup for eduroam usually takes less than 5 minutes and once set up, the network works flawlessly.
3.
Security: Eduroam provides a higher level of security than conventional, unencrypted wireless. When students use eduroam, all traffic between their devices and the wireless access point is encrypted using WPA2 providing another reason students should switch to eduroam sooner rather than later.
It’s not just Doyle who likes eduroam, UMBC students like it too. Aaron David, a senior computer engineer said “I mainly use eduroam since I only have to log in once on a device and then it will automatically connect and authenticate for me from then on. Also, it is encrypted whereas UMBC Visitor and UMBC Campus aren’t.”
Students who need help during the setup process can consult the
UMBC FAQ on eduroam. The process however is relatively simple. “In most of our experience connecting to eduroam is fairly straightforward,” Doyle said. “We have a set of videos and tools available on the DoIT website that help people connect. The main issue is that people have to put in the entire username with domain name, so
damian@umbc.edu, not just damian,”
“I honestly didn’t use eduroam at first because I didn’t feel like going through the setup process on all of my devices,” said David “but it really isn’t difficult to set up and once it is, you can just forget it and it works.”
UMBC students can connect to an upgraded network, all for free. The transition should be smooth and seamless as Doyle said “ In general we are planning on working through publications, the department IT staff and the Office of Residential life to try and spread the word to migrate folks to eduroam.”

New UMBC App Now Available to Download for iOS Devices
App features easier sign on, personalized content, and more
The new redesigned UMBC app is now available for download in the
Apple App Store for free and requires iOS 7.0 or later. The app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and is optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. The
Android version of the app will launch later this Summer.
If you have a UMBC account, you can log into the app for personalized content. After logging in once, when you return to the app, you can use Apple’s Touch ID or a 4-digit PIN to quickly log in again. If you don’t have an account, you can still access all the features in the app as a guest. Note that people using DUO second factor authentication cannot log into the app at this time. This will be corrected in a future update.
Once inside, the app has four distinct tabs -- Home, Search, Places, and Events -- to help you find what you are looking for. Home features the latest updates from both myUMBC and the UMBC homepage. With a simple arrow toggle, you can switch between both sites easily. You can also share any content by tapping the three dots in the top right of the app and then tapping copy link which automatically adds the link to your clipboard.
Search features an adaptive search engine, allowing for results from many UMBC sites such as the UMBC directory, groups, departments, and the
UMBC FAQs. Collier Jones, lead architect for myUMBC, said “You don’t have to know what you are looking for, we’ll try to help [with universal searching]”
When you first open the Search tab, there is a recent section for your past searches and a trending section that shows resources others are looking for. Your favorites are underneath trending, and anything you favorite on the web version of myUMBC automatically appear in the app. Also included is a QR code scanner that can scan posters and signs around campus.
Places provides hours, offices, maps and upcoming events for all the places around you. Need to navigate around campus? Google Maps is integrated in helping you navigate to any location on campus. Along with a Building Directory that allows you to search for all buildings including student housing and lecture halls found on campus, there is also a transit tracker that shows all the routes currently in service.
Events lets users see what's happening right now, along with upcoming events. You can also browse different event calendars such as Arts & Culture and the Athletics calendar for all the upcoming games.
Jones said that the app is designed to be really simple, and will be updated with more features making it more even more robust in the future.
