Change: Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity
Updated Fall 2024 Opportunities!
Change happens all the time, whether we choose it, or it chooses us. Changes in leadership, priorities, structures and processes, like those that we have seen at UMBC, can be challenging, each initiating a transition that requires us to look beneath processes to understand the human side of change. In the end, it's our people who will make change happen and we need the right combination of knowledge, skills, and strategies, as well as a common language to understand, cope with, and adapt to change.
Introducing the FranklinCovey Change: How to Turn Uncertainty into Opportunity Program. This engaging learning experience will provide practical skills and strategies to help us understand and manage our reactions, learn how to navigate change both functionally and emotionally, and will introduce a model that makes the change process predictable. Modules are included for different populations, both individual contributors as well as managers and leaders who need to proactively lead and support their people.
There are three options for programming:
- 3-Part Program for Managers & Leaders (6 hr. overall program)
- Change Conversations - For Individual Contributors & Leaders (2 hr. programs)
- Change Book Discussion (1 hr./week, 5 weeks)
Tuesday, September 10th:
10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Email scheduled announcements in July's Ultra update
Also available: Printer friendly answer key for assessments
Instructors often plan certain communications in advance to ensure students receive timely updates and critical information. This proactive approach helps maintain a structured learning environment and supports student success. For the July update, instructors will be able to ensure scheduled announcements in Ultra courses will also be sent as emails, if enabled. Previously, instructors could only email an announcement at the exact time when it was posted to the course. Now faculty can plan certain communications in advance for their courses and ensure those messages are received by students as soon as announcements are posted throughout the course schedule.
Last month, Ultra featured printer friendly assessments, allowing faculty to accommodate a wide range of solutions for testing. This feature has been well-received, providing instructors with greater flexibility in how they administer and review assessments. In July, the printer friendly format supports an answer key, which can be used for grading or study guides. Printing is not yet available for question pools or mobile.
Image 1: Example of printer friendly test with option to select answer key
Additional updates for July include:
- When grading by student or question, instructors can now provide contextual feedback as recorded audio and video. Instructors can add recorded feedback to all question types.
- The Needs Grading filter on the Student or Questions tab will now only display students or questions with ungraded attempts or responses that count towards Needs Grading.
Students can view overall and attempt-level feedback from the gradebook.
Anthology made several improvements to Group Submissions page to address overall performance and reduce the load time. For example, loading the Groups Submission page from the Gradebook saw an improved performance of 88% to 95% depending on the Gradable Items or Gradebook Grades view.
Faculty should see the latest updates in Ultra courses around July 4-5, 2024. The next update to our Ultra test environment will take place on July 16, 2024; release notes are posted to the What's New in Ultra that same week. Faculty who are interested in test driving new features before they are released to production should open an RT ticket to request early access. Please watch the FAQs, including the What's New with Ultra page, and myUMBC for additional information about Ultra. Connect with Instructional Technology
As always, if you have any questions about teaching, learning, and technology at UMBC, please consider the following options:
