<Title>New Scantron Forms For Fall</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Starting this Fall, the Department of Information Technology will begin using new, green Scantron test scoring sheets that have been customized for UMBC. These forms utilize Campus IDs for identification purposes, which are more specific to the student than names alone, and faster to complete at test time. This change will also make for easier and more accurate uploading of grades to Blackboard.
    
    For those who have supplies of the previous blue form, unopened packs may be exchanged at the Bookstore for packs of the new green form at no cost. There will be no change in price for future purchases of the new green forms.
    
    Of course, this will necessitate that those taking tests know their Campus IDs, and we expect that there may be some confusion on the part of some students in regard to their Campus ID. Information on Campus IDs can be found at: <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newIDs.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.umbc.edu/oit/newIDs.html</a>
    
    Students may find their Campus ID on the profile section of myUMBC. After successfully logging in, their name is displayed in the top, right-hand corner of the myUMBC window. Mousing over the name reveals a link to the 'Profile' page where the students’ Campus ID is displayed. 
    
    <strong>FAQs</strong>
    <strong>What if the student does not have their campus ID at test time?</strong>
    The student should leave the “Campus ID” fields blank but should complete the “First” and “Last” name fields. The sheet can still be scored but it may introduce delays in processing.
    
    <strong>Who do I contact at the bookstore to exchange my unopened packages of blue forms?</strong>
    Nicole Jackson, X52695 
    
    <strong>Can I use the old blue forms until my department runs out?</strong>
    No. The scanner hardware and software have been specifically configured and calibrated to use UMBC’s new custom form. All old unopened packages can be traded in at the UMBC bookstore.

<Title>New Version of MyUMBC to be Launched August 14th at 10:00AM</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">It is hard to believe but the current version of myUMBC is going on 4 years. We launched in summer of 2006 and made significant enhancements in 2008, adding multiple spotlights, and events. In 2009, with the launch of Student Administration we made minor changes to the user interface but began discussions with campus stakeholders regarding their needs. The needs identified were improving the integration of events and calendar, enhancing discussions, and providing tools for student groups, committees, and small departments to use myUMBC to collaborate.
    
    Based on that feedback, we have completely rewritten myUMBC. The original version was in written in a language called PHP. The new version is written using the Ruby-on-Rails framework. Ruby is used for applications ranging from twitter to yellow-pages and is prized for its flexibility. The goal of making this change was to 1) Improve DoIT’s abililty to respond to new requests, and 2) Provide more flexibility in supporting a variety of web interfaces, including mobile devices.
    
    On <strong>August 14th starting at 10:00AM</strong>, you will see a redesigned version of myUMBC. Please bare with us while the change is made, there may be periods during the weekend where system adjustments are made. 
    
    The most noticeable  change is that the dashboard has moved from the left-hand side to the top of the page. This was done so we could improve the layout of secondary pages. The major enhancements are the introduction of what we call group pages. These pages allow a group, committee, or department to create a web site where you can control content based on whether you are a member or not. Groups can be found through the community pull-down that is adjacent to the Topics pull-down.  By going to the pull down you can find information on groups you can participate in or that you have joined.We have added features for group discussions, calendar, spotlights, media links, and basic web pages -- all of which can be controlled via a simple web interface.
    
    <strong>Sample Screen Shot of New Dashboard</strong>
    <img alt="Screen%20shot%202010-08-02%20at%204.49.37%20PM.png" src="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/Screen%20shot%202010-08-02%20at%204.49.37%20PM.png" width="700" height="77" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
    
    A second enhancement is the way we have revamped the topic pages. Topic pages are now dynamically generated and will be much more consistent across the various topic pages. This allows DoIT to quickly modify a topic page and should improve the usability and consistency of myUMBC.
    
    A third enhancement is we have revamped the way that calendars and events work. We redesigned the interface and made it much easier to add events. Calendars now provide filters and an iCal interface so you can subscribe specific events to a google calendar or mobile device and always be kept up to date.
    
    All these changes are designed to make myUMBC more usable and more integral to the day-to-day needs of the UMBC community. We want and need your feedback but we ask that you give these changes a chance. Our user-testing has shown that once people get acclimated to the new interface they find this more intuitive than prior myUMBC versions. That said, we need your feedback.
    
    Please Visit the MyUMBC BETA Site at: <a href="http://myumbc3.my.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://myumbc3.my.umbc.edu/</a>  This site is a work in progress but should provide you with a sense of the changes being made.</div>

<Title>DoIT Linux GL servers and Linux Lab Image for Fall 2010</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The DoIT Linux lab workstations and GL Linux login servers will continue to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 for the Fall 2010 Semester.
    
    Release notes, additional information and updates can be found at this URL:
    <a href="https://spaces.umbc.edu/display/CIG/OIT+Linux+Environment+Release+Notes">https://spaces.umbc.edu/display/CIG/OIT+Linux+Environment+Release+Notes</a>
    
    We plan to update the image on the GL Linux login servers as follows:
    
    - Upgrade one out of the three boxes during Week of Aug 16th.  
    
    - Upgrade an additional box at beginning of Week of Aug 23rd
    
    - Upgrade the final box towards the end of the Week of Aug 23rd
    
    While individual servers are down, going to linux.gl will get you onto one of the remaining servers up and functioning. We ask that you please continue to connect to linux.gl instead of individual system names to ensure you get to the right systems.
    
    As always, if you have any issues with the servers or our lab systems, please start a ticket with our Help Desk. Please include the system you are on and as much detail as you can about the problem. It will then get moved to the group that can best handle it for you.</div>
