<Title>New Box Experience Now Available For UMBC Users</Title>
<Tagline>Box now has sidebar navigation, improved search, and more</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <a href="http://box.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Box</a>, an online file sharing system that allows you to access your files from multiple devices and <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/58723" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">collaborate with others</a>, recently released an update to its web interface. Some of the new changes include a brand new sidebar for navigation, improved search, an improved tile view for files, along with a few other minor changes. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>New Sidebar</h6>
    <div>A new, persistent sidebar creates easier access to all your files. Now, the sidebar is always with you wherever you navigate to on Box so things like your ‘Favorites’ are just a click away. You can also now change your landing page to ‘Favorites’ rather than All Files allowing for greater customization as to which files appear when you first open Box. You can change your landing page by going into your account settings. Additionally, ‘Notifications’ have been renamed to ‘Messages’.</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div><em>Screenshot of sidebar navigation in the new box experience. </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>New Improved Search  </h6>
    <div>Previously advanced search options were only accessible after completing a simple keyword search. Now, search results can include content filters to narrow down results and can search by metadata.  </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><img src="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/attachments/news/000/067/564/16f8455ffee11d28c48dca19d52ab537/Search%20view%20with%20New%20Box%20Experience.png" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>
    <div><em>Screenshot shows the new Box experience search bar. Easily switch between your content filters or Metadata.</em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>Other Changes</h6>
    <div>The new Box experience has a lot of smaller changes as well. Single clicking an item selects it, while double clicking an item or clicking the name opens it. You can now switch between list view or an enhanced thumbnail view for rich previews easier too. Box has also added several new keyboard shortcuts:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Use Ctrl + click to multi select items</div>
    <div>Ctrl + C shortcut to copy selected items</div>
    <div>Ctrl + X shortcut to cut selected items</div>
    <div>Ctrl + V shortcut to paste selected items</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>3D and 360º images, as well as HD and 360º video can now be viewed in Box without the need of downloading the file. Options to “Invite Collaborators” and “Get [a] Shared Link” are now consolidated under the “Share this Folder” button. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you want to revert back to the old Box experience, you can do so by clicking on the question icon at the top of the page. At a later date, the new Box experience will be enabled for all users and you will be unable to revert back to the old interface. </div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>TechFest 2017: New Presenters, More Vendors, and Giveaways</Title>
<Tagline>This year&#8217;s event is on April 10 at the University Center</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>In 2016, DoIT hosted a brand new type of event known as TechFest, designed to bring UMBC students, faculty, and staff together to share different ways technology can both support and improve the efficiency of day to day activities. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The event planning and implementation was spearheaded by Collin Sullivan, a DoIT student employee. It was a major success, and now, on April 10, at the University Center, TechFest 2017 will feature more presenters, more vendors, and a brand new web app that attendees will be able to download, and giveaways. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Note:</strong> Find a complete list and brief description of all presenters as well as the option to and register for TechFest on the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/instructional-technology/events/48799" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instructional Technology post found here</a>. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4><em>“...we can get bogged down in the little work too often, and these types of applications can help us get to the deep work more quickly.”</em></h4>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>TechFest 2017 will feature more than 10 faculty, student, and staff presenters. Ashley Waters, Associate Director for UMBC - Shady Grove Campus, will present her favorite Google extensions that enable her to be more productive.  “I have found that we can get bogged down in the little work too often and these types of applications can help us get to the deep work more quickly,” said Waters.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Waters wants to share her use of extensions like Google Keep, RescueTime, Boomerang, and more with the goal to share the news with others so they can find what works best for them. “If anyone can put one of these extensions to work and it helps them feel more in control of their demanding duties, my obsession with productivity hacks has been worth it!” said Waters. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Tara Carpenter, Senior Lecturer for Chemistry and Biochemistry, will present her use of canned responses and Google Forms, which streamlines her inbox. Carpenter teaches a very large intro course and spends a lot of time answering emails from students. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4><em>“I want to make others aware of how this tool can be used effectively to manage response to student emails,”</em></h4>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Carpenter saw that her emails could be broadly categorized and that she was typing the same responses over and over. By using canned responses, it has led to less time being spent on email for her. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>“I want to make others aware of how this tool can be used effectively to manage response to student emails,” said Carpenter. “I'm also going to present the use of Google Forms as a way to collect information from students without adding more email to your inbox.”</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Sarah Lilly, senior in Information Systems and SGA Senate Speaker, is excited to attend TechFest and will be hosting a session on Google Calendar. Lilly wants participants get a firm grasp on the tool, and be able to check in with them a few weeks after TechFest and schedule a meeting with them through Google Calendar. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4><em>“... I want more people to lean into and work smarter, not harder.”</em></h4>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As a full time student, full time worker, and involvement in student government, Lilly relies on Google Calendar to keep herself organized. “It's the only way I am able to keep my head straight and I want more people to lean into the tool and work smarter, not harder!” said Lilly. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Coming to TechFest 2017 are new vendors. You can expect to see representatives from Microsoft, IEEE, Lenovo, and even some student organizations like the Game Developers’ Club. In addition, a new mobile app that will allow participants to create their own schedule, learn who else is attending, and connect with presenters of sessions. More information about the mobile app will be released closer to TechFest. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Giveaways are returning to this year’s TechFest. To enter to win a giveaway, participants must complete feedback forms at the end of their sessions to get a raffle ticket. Participants can then use their raffle tickets to enter to win whichever prize they want. </div>

<Title>DoIT and VART Partner on Lynda.com License</Title>
<Tagline>Online tutorials to help free up faculty prep and class time</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>To help free up faculty time currently given to in-class software training or even home grown and self-curated online video demos, DoIT and Visual Arts (VART) have partnered to share a one-year, limited license to <a href="https://www.lynda.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lynda.com</a>, a leading provider of approximately 130,000 tutorials on the latest commercial software and effective business processes. The license is available now, and will allow all VART students, faculty and staff to <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/DgAEB" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">use their UMBC login to access</a> Lynda.com during the academic year.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Note</strong>: Anyone can try Lynda.com free for 7 days and it is free to patrons of <a href="http://www.aacpl.net/lynda" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Anne Arundel</a> and <a href="http://hclibrary.org/research/online-classes/lynda-com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Howard County</a> Libraries. If you are taking a visual arts class, you will also have access to Lynda.com. </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>Typically when it comes to teaching how to use software, faculty often create their own tutorials by using screen shots and assembling their own custom guides or they curate a variety of existing online videos and demos from YouTube and other sources. However, this creates a time-consuming production process that can compete with faculty course design or goals for student learning. With Lynda.com, the content itself is constantly updated to be current which helps provide the latest and greatest tutorials. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4><em>“Students will be the most avid users of Lynda.com because it will function much like a comprehensive textbook…”</em></h4>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div></div>
    <div><img src="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/attachments/news/000/061/270/ececec2d9bd1d1b5dd0411fb766e2f70/preminda-283x300.jpg" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>
    <div><em>Dr. Preminda Jacob, <span>Chair and Associate Professor of Art History and Museum Studies in the Department of Visual Arts,</span> was one of the main people involved with bringing Lynda.com to VART. </em></div>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div>
    <div>Dr. Preminda Jacob, Associate Professor and Chair for the Visual Arts Department, believes that both students and faculty will benefit immensely from the site. Jacob said, “...students will be the most avid users of Lynda.com because it will function much like a comprehensive textbook throughout their four years in training at UMBC.” </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Faculty will be able to conduct part of the preparation for software programs in the classroom, but get students to learn the remaining sections in their own time. “This allows faculty to devote a larger percentage of class time to discussing the conceptual fundamentals of the course work instead of teaching students the mechanics of the software.” said Jacob.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4><em>“...a student can go there with a specific problem, use the search function, and usually get very good insights.”</em></h4>
    </div>
    <div><em><br></em></div>
    <div>
    <div>Faculty are already excited with the prospects of online tutorials being widely available to everyone. Cathy Cooke, professor of Cinematic Arts, said “I also use Lynda.com to teach myself the ever-evolving technology changes that are happening rapidly, by the minute!”</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Dan Bailey, professor of Animation, said “Lynda.com is good for tutorials, but it is also great for just "help"...a student can go there with a specific problem, use the search function, and usually get very good insights.” </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Gary Rozanc, professor of Graphic Design, worked with Jacob on the initiative to bring the site to VART. Rozanc emphasizes how great the site will be for faculty to incorporate it into their research. “Print designers looking to learn more about interactive design can take courses on HTML/CSS or web developers can augment their toolbox with tutorials on programming for iOS and Android.” said Rozanc. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><img src="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/attachments/news/000/061/270/a0b5ad024f939250c0c34fc73a8aa59b/Photoshop%20Course.png" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>
    <div><em>Welcome video to the course on Photoshop on lynda.com </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Jacob estimates that her department will be able to leverage Lynda.com to teach students approximately 60 different art and media related software programs. These include but are not limited to tutorials on Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Photoshop. Apart from its ease of use, what distinguishes Lynda.com different from other sites is the consistent quality of its instructions and training design.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Although the Lynda.com license is only available to VART for next year, DoIT hopes to use the experience to gauge demand for a possible site license in the future. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>“Unfortunately, we could not offer this to the whole campus this year, but we’re excited by VART’s willingness to partner on the Lynda.com license and use it to essentially ‘flip’ their classes,” says John Fritz, Assistant VP of Instructional Technology. “During the year, we will definitely be working with VART to identify and share their lessons learned using Lynda.com to support student learning.” </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h4><em>“Self motivated students can make themselves so much more valuable to employers…”</em></h4>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Rozanc recalled how one self motivated student used Lynda.com to position himself to be a valuable resource for a future employer. “I had a student completely teach himself front and back end web development from Lynda.com courses while earning a degree in Graphic Design and now is a senior designer/developer for Weebly," said Rozanc. "Self motivated students can make themselves so much more valuable to employers with Lynda.com as a resource.” </div>
    </div>

    <div><em>Screenshot of Lynda.com. Here you can see some of the top courses on the site, including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. </em></div>

    <div>To navigate to the directory listings page, log in to myUMBC and mouse over your name, on the drop down menu <a href="https://my.umbc.edu/settings" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">click profile</a> and then navigate to Online/Print Directory Info link at the bottom. If you do not see your department listed, <a href="https://rt.umbc.edu/SelfService/Create.html?Queue=408" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">submit a ticket with the UMBC Technology Support Center</a> to have it made available.</div>

    <div>Damian Doyle, Director of Enterprise Infrastructure and Support says “The process is quick and easy, it only takes a minute and is intuitive once you are on the page.” Actions such as <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=55836778" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">removing a former employee</a> or <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=26280649" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">updating a job title</a> are quick and easy, and require only a minimum amount of steps. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>“As people are searching for who to contact across campus it can be very frustrating for parents/students and other faculty and staff if information in the directory is inaccurate and leads people on wild goose chases,” says Doyle.</div>

<Title>Campus Webmail to be Upgraded on May 28</Title>
<Tagline>Not applicable to google mail users.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>On Wednesday, May 28 at 7am, DoIT will be performing an upgrade of the campus webmail environment on our dedicated Cyrus mail server. The current webmail environment is extremely out of date on both the hardware and software. There will be a brief 5 minute outage to transition to the new server and no data will be lost during this upgrade.  Anyone logged into webmail prior to 7am will need to restart their browser and login again.  Users of Cyrus webmail will notice a more refined interface with new colors as well as some icons that have shifted location.  
    Anyone wishing to try out the new Cyrus webmail environment is encouraged to login at </span><a href="http://webmail2.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>https://webmail2.umbc.edu</span></a><span>. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the </span><a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/tsc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Technology Support Center</span></a><span> at x53838.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Note: This campus webmail upgrade will not impact users who have migrated their email to Google.  </span></p>
