Innovative Course Design Using Digital Stories
Erickson School of Aging Partners with New Media Studio
A partnership between the Office of Undergraduate Education, Erickson School of Aging, and DoIT's New Media Studio resulted in a introductory course that connected students with residents of the Charlestown retirement community.
Students in the course, mostly freshmen and first-semester transfer students were paired with Charlestown residents to produce a digital story capturing a life lesson learned. As part of this effort, students were taught the technology skills necessary to produce a digital story.
On December 13th, at the Library Gallery, there was a screening of the stories. For information on that event visit the Baltimore Sunpapers story,
To date there have been almost 50 digital stories produced with Charlestown. Scroll down to the bottom of the link below to view the stories from this fall:

DoIT Closed 12/24/11 to 1/2/12
The Division of Information Technology (DoIT) will be closed during the campus holiday break from December 24, 2011 to January 2, 2012. During this time, the 24/7 lab in Engineering 021 can be accessed with a valid Campus ID card. In addition, DoIT staff will remotely monitor and support (via an RT ticket ) any issues related to the December 22 Blackboard upgrade and subsequent auto-creation of Winter and Spring 2012 course shells.

Blackboard Acknowledges Delay in Processing of Safe...
Full Title: Blackboard Acknowledges Delay in Processing of Safe Assign ReportsUPDATE: Blackboard released a final support bulletin on Friday, December 23, regarding the performance of Safe Assign. They report that all of the backlogged papers have been processed and that processing times are back to normal (24-48 hours). If instructors have papers without SA reports generated in 48 hours, it is possible that the papers are corrupted, and Blackboard suggests that they should now resubmit those papers.
----------------------
UPDATE: Blackboard released an updated support bulletin on Monday, December 19, regarding the performance of Safe Assign. Though new submissions are on the decline, there is still a significant delay in processing papers, and faculty should expect reports within 3-5 days. As previously announced, they request that papers not be resubmitted unless they have verified that an error with them has occurred.
----------------------
On Wednesday, December 14, Blackboard released a support bulletin that provided an update on the Safe Assign paper processing delay that has happened over the past several weeks. They confirmed that there is still a global backlog of papers waiting to be processed, and that reports will take 3-5 days to generate. They reiterate that the worst thing instructors or students can do is to resubmit a paper, as that will move the paper to the back of the processing queue. If you have papers that have not received Originality Reports within 5 days of their submission date, please submit an RT ticket and include your name, the Bb course, the specific assignment, and the paper ID.
Thank you for your patience.

If you are a Graduate Student at UMBC, and if you are working on your graduate school courses, proposal, or dissertation, then this event is for you!
The on-campus setting provides Dissertation House participants with productive and rewarding scholastic engagement. Students who participate in this program will spend each day thinking, writing, and sharing ideas about their doctoral dissertations. Students will learn effective time-management skills; learn how to set small manageable goals, and will meet with a dissertation coach in one-on-one consultations to discuss and address obstacles that might prevent them completing their degrees.
This is a weekday (9 a.m. – 5 p.m., non-residential) commitment set for the week of Tuesday, January 17 – Friday, January 20, 2012.
This information and other details about the Dissertation House can be found on: http://www.thedissertationhouse.com
Seats are limited. Students who are closest to finishing their doctoral dissertations (graduating with PhDs in 2012) will receive priority. Priority will be assigned in this order: earliest defense dates (January – April 2012 dates), May 2012 graduation, Summer 2012 graduation, December 2012 graduation. After we fill seats with our 2012 prospective graduates, we will review applications for additional slots. You must officially apply: http://dissertationhouse.wordpress.com/apply/.

New Library website - coming in January
Coming in January 2012, the Library website will have a new look, designed to provide better access to information and resources, including the numerous electronic databases, journals, special collections, and media owned by the Library.

Key features of the new design include:
* larger, more informative menus
* colorful icons
* a new catalog interface
Please leave a comment to let us know what you think of the new design.

Blackboard Collaborate Replacing Wimba
As previously announced in October, DoIT will be installing Blackboard Collaborate 11 during the Bb upgrade window starting on December 22 at 10 pm. Bb Collaborate 11 is the new web-based conferencing system following Bb's acquisition of Wimba and Elluminate in Summer 2010. It allows faculty to incorporate live, multi-way audio and video, a basic whiteboard with mark-up, application and desktop sharing and other tools for interactivity. A free 30-day trial of Collaborate 11 is available to any faculty member wishing to preview it, by signing up at http://try.bbcollaborate.com/trial/register.go. DoIT staff will introduce Bb Collaborate 11 during drop-in sessions in ENGR 025 from 12 - 1 pm on January 4, 6, 9, and 16. Further training sessions will be planned prior to the start of the Spring 2012 semester.

Reminder to FA2011 Faculty to Download Bb Gradebook,...
Full Title: Reminder to FA2011 Faculty to Download Bb Gradebook, Bb Upgrade on 12/22As previously announced, DoIT will be upgrading the Blackboard (Bb) production system on Thursday, December 22 starting at 10 pm. Though final grades are not due until January 4, all FA2011 faculty are encouraged to back up their Bb gradebook by downloading it to Excel, before the upgrade starts. This is just a precautionary step as no problems are anticipated with the upgrade. DoIT staff will be available in ENGR 025 from 12- 1 pm on Dec. 13, 14, 20 and 21 to provide assistance, should faculty have questions about downloading their grades.
Bb course shells for Winter and Spring 2012 courses will be auto-created on Monday, December 26. Prior to that date, faculty can develop content using older course sites, and then use the export/ import process to move that content once the new shells are auto-created. However, given the start of Winter Session on January 3, DoIT will manually create Winter 2012 shells upon request, with the understanding that faculty who do so need to use a published work around if they encounter the broken links problem the upgrade is meant to resolve.
This upgrade is necessary in order to fix a growing number of web browser incompatibilities, and a known issue of broken links occurring in an imported course. There is no longer a convenient window of time when upgrades can occur during the academic year, but we have reviewed this decision with an informal advisory group of active Bb instructors in several disciplines, as well as the Faculty Senate’s Computer Policy Committee at its 9/16/11 and 10/7/11 meetings. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve the campus’ use of Blackboard.
