Faculty Access to Bb Managed Hosting for Winter Course Prep
As of December 3, 2014, faculty may access the new Blackboard site during the preview phase of our migration to managed hosting. This preview phase allows faculty to prepare course materials for the Winter and/or Spring 2015 terms and to provide valuable feedback to DoIT regarding the interface and tools.
- Go to my.umbc.edu/go/bbnew
- Note: You will use this temporary web address until late December. It is intended only for faculty and staff at this time.
- Click on the black button, LOG IN TO BLACKBOARD. If you are not already logged in to myUMBC, you will be prompted to do so with your UMBC credentials.
Under the My Courses nugget and the All Courses tab, you will see courses from AY12-13 and AY13-14. Winter and Spring 2015 courses are also listed based on the schedule of courses, but unavailable.
- Fall 2014 courses will not be migrated until after final grades are submitted. Information about this process will be released after the holiday break. You will still access those courses through the current self-hosted Blackboard site.

WT/SP 2015 Courses Created on Bb Hosting Site on 12/2/14
Bb course shells for WT2015 and SP2015 were created on December 2, 2014 on the new Blackboard managed hosting site.
Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there is an instructor of record listed. As new course sections and/or instructors are added to the SOC, corresponding Bb shells are automatically generated overnight. If you need a shell for a research or independent study course, please submit a new course request.
Instructors who teach multiple sections of the same course will find those enrollments merged into one Bb course shell. These sections can be split upon request an RT ticket. Student enrollment in Bb mirrors the official registration in SA and updates hourly. However, courses are not accessible to students by default until the instructor makes them available.
If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the SOC, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to resolve the issue. Once you are listed in the SOC, your Bb course shell will be created automatically.
- To access the new managed hosting site, please download the attached instructions (pdf) as reference.

LDAP-master and webadmin downtime on 12/18/2014
Hello all.
On Thursday, December 18th starting at 2pm LDAP-Master and Webadmin will be taken down for system maintenance. During this time account creations and password changes will be unavailable. Account authentication and logins will not be affected during this downtime.
The maintenance window will allow staff to apply needed security and application updates. The outage window is expected to last two hours with services being restored by 4pm on Thursday, December 18th.
During the outage window account creations will be queued and then processed upon restoration of services. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Technology Support Center at x53838.
Thanks!
The idea to go paperless started about eight years ago as other University System of Maryland schools started to make the change. A committee at UMBC was created, but the project was eventually put on hold due to the PeopleSoft system preparing to go live and other campus initiatives.
Earlier this year, the project was revisited and DoIT collaborated with Human Resources to create the electronic time sheet. “We’re automating the paper process and adding edits for improved data entry,” explains Stacy Long, Director, Administrative Affairs & Research Administration Enterprise Systems for DoIT.
With the current paper process, there is a chain of people that the time sheets must travel between after each pay period. Once an employee completes the time sheet, his or her supervisor must sign it and submit the sheet to the payroll preparer. That individual must then key all of the information into the time entry system.
“With the technology we have now, the paper process has become very antiquated,” says Sherrell McNamara, Human Resources and Information Systems Manager. “The current time sheet process does not provide efficiency to the overall time sheet, time entry and payroll processes at the department and HR levels. Going electronic will add value in enhancing business processes as well as aid the campus in leveraging in technology.”
Now, the electronic time sheets will streamline the old process. It takes just two clicks for an employee to authorize and submit the time sheet, and then it is automatically sent to his or her supervisor. Supervisors can see a list of the employees they manage with their total work hours and links to the detailed time sheets. They can simply click the link to view the full time sheet and check a box next to an employee’s name to approve the hours. If there is an error, they can send it back to the employee to correct. Employees’ time is automatically loaded into the Payroll system so the Payroll Preparers will no longer have to key in that information, which is a great efficiency gain.
On the user’s end, preferences can be managed so that time is filled in automatically for individuals with set schedules each week. Holidays are filled in by default, and users can also see leave balances. Email notifications are sent to employees and supervisors to provide deadline reminders.
The electronic time sheet is also set up to work with the internal procedures and practices that different departments may already have in place for filling out time sheets. There is a comment box where employees or supervisors can insert notes, and there are optional code fields when inputting work hours. For example, student workers who work at multiple Residential Life locations can input the code for the different dorms or apartments. These codes give departments another way to run reports using the time sheet data.
Besides reducing the data entry time, the electronic time sheets also make communication easier for HR. The new time sheets feature a box near the top where HR can display custom messages. For example, HR can now display a message about how to account for a campus closure that will be seen by all employees when filling out work hours for that pay period instead of needing to send a campus-wide email.
The new time sheet is hosted in PeopleSoft and accessible through myUMBC, my.umbc.edu/go/timesheets. To help ease the transition between the paper and electronic time sheets, HR has worked with DoIT to ensure that the electronic version looks almost identical to the old paper sheets. HR will also provide training in the form of a few classroom-style sessions and videos as the entire campus makes the switch. Plus, electronic time sheets documentation is available to UMBC employees now and can be found at my.umbc.edu/groups/ets.

Classroom Support of VHS Players to Cease as of June 1, 2017
We want to give you as much notice as possible about our plan to cease classroom support of VHS players on June 1, 2017. This plan was created with the input from the UMBC Classroom Committee, the AOK Library, and DoIT using the information gathered from the campus-wide VHS Usage Survey distributed in March of 2014.
Since the summer of 2012 both new and renewed technology-rich learning spaces have not included a VHS player. Our current pool of devices is beginning to fail and we are finding it difficult to purchase replacement equipment. Increasingly we see challenges with the quality of existing VHS tapes as they age. Campus usage and library circulation data confirms the decline in the use of VHS media. In addition, many of our VHS tapes do not meet the requirements for accessibility of instructional materials. For instance, do the VHS resources that you use now include closed captioning?
DoIT will continue to have a limited number of VHS players available for delivery from AV Services throughout the transition. The AOK Library will continue to provide VHS viewing stations and a screening room after June, 2017.If you currently own VHS tapes that you use for instruction, you should begin to develop a strategy for migrating that material to a digital or online format. Staff in DoIT and the Library will be glad to assist if you have questions regarding the transition from VHS tapes to updated media formats.
To help, we recommend the following:
Many VHS tapes used for instruction are now available online by subscription or purchased as DVD material. DoIT is working with the Library to investigate options for streaming media.
Bookmark clips and desired content in your browser.
We hope that by giving you as much advance warning as possible we can begin working with groups to make an orderly transition before VHS tapes are impossible to support and this impacts your instruction.
Please visit our FAQ page at https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/faq/Classroom+VHS+Player+Retirement
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

RT webpage color scheme enhancement
DoIT's Andrea Mocko has experimented with adjusting the color scheme for RT to have more of a UMBC look and feel.
To that end I will ask folks to take a look at our development RT to see the enhanced presentation.
If I do not get any major objections or issues we will put in place this friday, 11-21-2014
Please goto the
new RT color scheme and remember this is old RT data so you may not see everything exactly like it is in production.
Thanks
Joe Kirby

sites.umbc.edu Scheduled Maintenance 12/6/2014
On Saturday December 6th, 2014 we will be upgrading the software running the sites.umbc.edu environment. Maintenance is scheduled for the whole day. The sites.umbc.edu website Admin Dashboard will be down during part of the process, however there will only be a brief period during which websites may be offline.
This software upgrade includes:
- Improved page editor, including a "Distraction Free" editing mode
- Better "Media" management for your site
- Additional internal changes to improve stability and security
As with all upgrades, it is a good idea to check over your site once it has been completed just to ensure no issues have arisen.

Update: UMBC Establishes Adobe Campus Site License
Adobe Creative Cloud for Personal Machines
Adobe Creative Cloud Software now available on Faculty and Staff
Personal Machines
As previously announced, UMBC is now licensed site wide for the
use of the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite of software on all UMBC owned
computers. These applications include:
Acrobat XI Pro
AfterEffects CC
Audition CC
Bridge CC
Dreamweaver & Muse CC
Edge Animate CC
Edge Code CC
Edge Reflow CC
Exchange Panel
Extendscript Toolkit CC
Extension Manager CC
Fireworks CS6
Flash Builder Premium
Flash Professional CC
Gaming SDK 1.3
Illustrator CC
InCopy CC
InDesign CC
Lightroom
Media Encoder CC
Photoshop CC
Prelude CC
Premier Pro CC
Scout CC
SpeedGrade CC
In addition to site wide use of the full Adobe Creative Cloud on
all UMBC owned computers, the Adobe license, acquired with the help of the
Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium, provides availability for Faculty and
Staff to install the Creative Cloud on up to two personally owned
computers. The details of the agreement
are as follows:
·
Faculty & staff are entitled to the same
applications at home (the full collection) as the institution itself.
·
Upon redemption, the Creative Cloud Manager desktop
application is installed. That application allows Faculty and Staff to download
some or all of the Creative Cloud applications at their discretion and
convenience. If Faculty or Staff originally downloaded some number of
applications – and later determines they need others - they can certainly come
back at a later time to download any additional applications by using the
Creative Cloud Manager application.
·
Redemption codes are tied to a Faculty and Staff’s Adobe
ID
·
Redemption codes will work on up to (2) Faculty and
Staff personal computers, on either the Windows or Mac platform.
In order to obtain the Adobe
Creative Cloud software suite for personal use, please see our instructional
wiki at:
https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/faq/How+to+Install+Adobe+Creative+Cloud+on+a+Personal+Computer
Adobe On-line
Training Materials
Adobe has also provided the
UMBC community with access to their entire library of training material. Using the Adobe ID created through the
process explained in the wiki, Faculty and Staff will have access to all the
video tutorials and reference material available on the Adobe website. This includes, but is not limited to, an
extensive collection of Lynda.com video tutorials on various Adobe
applications. These resources are available by logging in to the Adobe website
using your Adobe ID, and are available immediately upon redemption of a
personal use redemption code.
