<Title>DoIT Data Center Successfully Moved</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">As <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/news/16528" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">previously announced</a>, on Monday, September 24th DoIT staff began moving over 68 servers, storage arrays and other associated equipment from the Public Policy data center to the new Erickson data center located in the Research Park. This project involved a significant amount of engineering and planning to ensure the appropriate power, racks, networks and cabling were in place where needed in advance of the hardware being mounted. Network staff spent months working with the construction company renovating the space and also with the professional movers to coordinate the move. Within DoIT the Networks, Windows and Unix groups spent weeks designing and ensuring the appropriate placement of hardware, cabling and networks in the racks. <br><br><br><strong>Services Moved to Erickson Data Center</strong><br>Peoplesoft Finance Development<br>Peoplesoft Campus Solutions Development<br>Blackboard Development &amp; Production<br>I-Strategy (T-REX)<br>Cyrus Mail Servers<br>Authentication Services<br>VMware Virtual Server Environment<br>Windows File Shares<br>Windows Active Directory<br>150 Terabytes of Network Storage<br>Campus Tape Backups<br>New Network Core<br>Web Infrastructure<br>Many more that are too numerous to include.....<br><br>I am pleased to announce that all of this planning made the move transparent to the campus community and ensured a relatively low stress move for the DoIT staff. I would like to thank all of the staff involved in this project. Every group within DoIT played a role in this move and we would not have been successful without every staff member's commitment to success. <br><br>While there were many involved there are a few staff that I would like to specifically recognize for their major contributions to this successful move. These staff spent weeks of time preparing and engineering the project in addition to their other duties. I also want to recognize several of our student staff members who spent dozens of hours running and configuring over 200 network cables and over 60 fibre cables.<br><br><h5><strong>Stand Out Staff</strong></h5><strong>Networks:</strong><br>Damian Doyle             Assistant Director Networks<br>Carlos McKinney         Network Engineer<br>Aaron David                 Network Intern<br>Karen Dickens             Network Intern<br>Tabitha Haverkamp       Network Intern<br>Erick Knapp                 Network Intern<br>Kevin McCormick         Network Intern<br><br><br><strong>Enterprise Infrastructure:</strong><br>Tim Champ               Senior System Administrator<br>Vladimir Plotkin         Coordinator of Windows Systems<br>James Sonnichsen     Windows Administrator         <br><br>Please join me in thanking all the staff involved.<br><br>Michael Carlin<br>Associate VP &amp; Deputy CIO<br><br></div>

<Title>DoIT Announces Changes to Scantron Test Scoring Process</Title>
<Tagline>Exam Drop-off is now in ENGR 101</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">DoIT has recently made some changes to the Scantron Test Scoring process. The two most notable changes are the following: 
    <br><ul><li>Jim Keys is now located in ENGR Bldg suite 101
    </li><li>For security reasons DoIT is no longer emailing the test result file(s) to instructors; instead, test results will be posted in the File System of the corresponding Blackboard course </li></ul><br><h5>Drop Off of Exams:
    </h5>Exams may be dropped off with Jim Keys on weekdays between 9 AM and 4:30 PM in the ENGR Bldg suite 101. You must have the answer keys filled out correctly, aligned in the same direction, and include a "Testbook Form" cover sheet. See <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/EgGRAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this FAQ</a>  to download a copy of the cover sheet, and for answer key instructions. Please make sure to remind your students that they must fill out the Campus ID section of the exam answer sheet correctly. In the event that Jim is not available, any of the Instructional Technology full time staff members can take the exams and create an RT ticket for you indicating exam drop off. Alternatively you may use the after hours secure exam slot outside ENGR Bldg room 004. You must place your exams in a campus envelope and include a "Testbook Form" cover sheet. Envelopes and cover sheets are available on the door to room 004. After depositing your exams in the exam slot, please <a href="https://rt.umbc.edu/UMBC/RequestHelp.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">submit an RT ticket</a> indicating that you have done so. We suggest a standard subject line such as: 
    <br><ul><li>Scantron Exam: [course] [semester] [instructor] or 
    </li><li>Scantron Exam: PSYC 100 FA2012 Jones 
    
    </li></ul><br>Exams dropped off after hours will be retrieved the following morning. Jim will check to see if a corresponding RT ticket was created for each exam he retrieves. If not, he will create one. Scantron exams will be scored within two business days of RT ticket creation date.
    <br><br><h5>Exam Results:
    </h5>You should expect your exams to be scored within 48 hours of the RT ticket  creation date &amp; time. Once exams are scored, the resulting electronic file(s) will be placed in a folder titled "Scantron" in the File System of the corresponding Blackboard course. Reminder: By default, DoIT creates a Blackboard shell for every course in the Schedule of Classes, but it remains <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867862" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">unavailable</a> to students until the instructor of record makes it <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867862" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">available</a>. As such, only instructor(s) of the Bb course will have access to the course and the Scantron file folder. Please see <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/eBLcAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this FAQ article</a>  for directions on locating and retrieving the test results from your Bb course.
    <br><br><h5>Notification:</h5>Once the scored Scantron files have been added to the Bb course, the RT ticket will be resolved and you will receive E-mail notification. In the RT ticket resolution message, we will include information on how to locate the test results in your Bb course, and how to <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/KYJ1AQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">upload Scantron grades into your Bb grade center</a>. After you have been notified that the ticket is resolved, you may pick up the exam answer sheets, and corresponding print out from Jim Keys. Any exam answer sheets not picked up by the start of the next semester will be destroyed.</div>
