Meet TSC Senior Student Consultant Christian Oyson
A look into everyday life at the Technology Support Center
For over a year, Christian Oyson has worked Tier 1 support for the
Technology Support Center (TSC) here at UMBC, providing assistance to students, faculty and staff. Oyson, a senior majoring in Informations Systems with a minor in Computer Science, started out at the TSC in summer 2014 as a student consultant. On a daily basis, the TSC gets a variety of calls ranging from user accounts, computer issues, phones, to internet complications and blackboard assistance. “If it’s anything technology related, we can try to assist you.” says Oyson.
On average, working at the TSC fluctuates depending on the hour and how many people are on duty. During a regular semester, there are two to three students working at a time and get about ten calls per shift. “Most people that call us do tend to be friendly,” says Oyson “but sometimes we can get calls from people frustrated on their issue and we do what we can to keep them calm while assessing the situation.”
Not all calls lead to a complex solution. Oyson recalls one call he had that was a simple fix involving a user who could not turn on their computer even though everything appeared fine. He had asked them if the computer was plugged in securely to an outlet, to which the user replied that it was plugged into a power strip. Oyson then followed up with his question and asked if the power strip was turned on, something the user did not think of. “The next thing I hear on the phone were happy cheers and sighs of relief.” Oyson said “I guess the saying "Try turning it on and off again" does come in handy.”
Not every call is as easy, and when it is really busy, such as during the first few weeks in the beginning of the semester or during a campus wide situation, the TSC springs into action. Oyson says “If it gets extremely busy, all hands on deck. Depending on how many are on duty, we have a rotation system determining who takes the call, but if things get really busy, then whoever is available has the call.”
Joining the TSC can be a great opportunity to break into the tech field and boost your communication skills according to Oyson. He mentions that starting out is challenging, but it gets easier as it goes on. “At the TSC, we talk to people from all walks of life: Old and young, tech experts and novices, and people from around the world.” Oyson says “You really don't know who you are talking to until you answer the call. With that said in mind, be ready and familiar with various approaches on how to tackle on a situation.”
Oyson will continue his work at the TSC through the upcoming fall semester. “I plan to continue working this position until I graduate in the spring of 2016 gaining as much knowledge and experience I can in preparation for the IT career ahead of me” Oyson said.

Kudos to Tom Penniston on New Book Chapter
DoIT would like to recognize its own Tom Penniston on the publication of the book chapter “Service Learning and the Acquisition of Social Capital in the Community College Setting.” For this project, Penniston and co-author Amy Pucino conducted interview research to investigate how service-learning participation helps community-college students develop formal and informal relationships and access resources, such as letters of recommendation.
The findings of the research highlight the connections students forge through participation in service-learning. “When students stepped out of their comfort zones, they were able to build and connect with social capital, which may be of special importance to community-college students” (Pucino & Penniston 2014). Penniston, who earned his Ph.D. from UMBC in 2014, believes these experiences support students’ academic and professional success.
You can check out the complete book

The
UMBC Directory Search offers a browse by department feature that shows people affiliated with a university department. At times, people may incorrectly appear as part of a department, so it’s important to keep the directory updated as correcting this problem depends on the person’s affiliation with UMBC.
Damian Doyle, Director of Enterprise Infrastructure and Support says “The process is quick and easy, it only takes a minute and is intuitive once you are on the page.” Actions such as
removing a former employee or
updating a job title are quick and easy, and require only a minimum amount of steps.
“As people are searching for who to contact across campus it can be very frustrating for parents/students and other faculty and staff if information in the directory is inaccurate and leads people on wild goose chases,” says Doyle.

Collaborate with Classmates via Virtual Study Spaces
Powered by Blackboard Instant Messenger
This summer, students have a new option for virtual collaboration: Study Spaces powered by Blackboard Instant Messenger.
Blackboard Instant Messenger (IM) is an academic-centric instant collaboration app designed to promote learning and support virtual group work. Blackboard IM synchronizes with our Blackboard Learn course enrollments, which means that students are automatically connected with other Blackboard IM users enrolled in the same courses.
Blackboard IM includes a range of features to allow everyone to collaborate and communicate quickly and easily.
- Chat via keyboard to communicate quickly and efficiently with your classmates
- Call via audio or video for more natural communication with one-on-one or group conversations
- Collaborate in real time to share ideas with others
- Screen Share for real-time display of any document or application on your computer
- Use whiteboard tools to annotate PowerPoint and images
Faculty and departments can use Blackboard IM to set up virtual office hours and
virtual support centers, allowing queues for individualized attention.
Blackboard IM is similar to many other instant messaging tools including Skype, Google Talk, AIM, Windows Live, etc., however, Blackboard IM is fully integrated into the Blackboard Learn system. Each semester, courses will synchronize and provide a robust contact list. There's no need to figure out what app to use for chatting or keep track of everyone's logins and handles -- Blackboard IM will be ready! Just login and start collaborating.
Need to work on a big group project? Practice a presentation with a partner? Study with a classmate for a test? Try the new virtual study spaces option through Blackboard IM.
To access Blackboard IM:
- Log into Blackboard and access the My Blackboard dashboard

We wanted to remind everyone that on Saturday June 13th around 8am we will be migrating the main campus website environment so it is running on new hardware and software. This past fall an emergency preparedness exercise was conducted by the campus and it became clear that in the event of an emergency one of our main methods of communications, the campus web server, would be unable to respond to the demands placed on it. The new web environment will be running a modern set of web protocols and the infrastructure will be able to scale and meet the demands of the campus moving forward.
To help prepare for this transition we have been working with OIA to test compatibility between the main website as well as some of the departmental websites hosted on the main campus web server. We have been working with various departmental web administrators throughout the campus to help make this transition as smooth as possible.
If you notice any issues after the upgrade please either contact your department's web administrator or open a RT ticket at http://rt.umbc.edu.
Thank You

Locating Our Confidential Data
Identity Finder is being installed to help reduce our risk.
In an effort to try and detect confidential data on university-owned systems and reduce the risk that UMBC will be the source of a data breach, UMBC has worked with the university system to purchase a program called Identity Finder. Identity Finder is a program that runs in the background on computers and looks for information like SSNs and credit card numbers. The program will make a list of the files that contain this information, but will not modify or delete the files. Once we receive the lists of files that possibly contain confidential data, we will work with each machine's owner to determine how to best manage data.
We have been running the program, for almost a year, in the departments that process and store SSNs and credit cards as a standard part of their business. Starting this week, we are pushing the program out to all centrally managed UMBC machines. The software will be installed automatically on each system, through Active Directory, and members of the UMBC community should not need to do anything. If anyone sees an impact from the installation of Identity Finder or has any questions, they should contact the DoIT Technology Support Center at x53838.
