    <div class="html-content">If you’re seeing some new faces in DoIT, chances are they work in <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/itnm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">instructional technology</a>. In March, DoIT announced <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/news/43512" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sherri Braxton-Lieber</a> as our new Director of Instructional Technology. In July, she announced two new specialists, <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/news/45172" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Holly Bielak and Mariann Hawken</a>. They joined <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/news/31498" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Tom Penniston</a>, who worked with us part-time last year, and is now working full-time as a specialist, too. Finally, we have recently added <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/news/45875" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Brad Boyle</a> to support the <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/imc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">International Media Center</a> (IMC) and <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/EAGRAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Scantron test scoring</a>.<br><br>While everyone is well-versed in <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blackboard/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Blackboard</a>, there’s a nice mix of expertise across all of the <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/itnm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">instructional technologies</a> DoIT supports, including <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/clickers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">clickers</a>, <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/go/hybrid" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">hybrid/blended course redesign</a>, <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/analytics" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">learning analytics</a> and <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/faq/TechSmith+Relay" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">screencasting</a>. Also, you’ll likely notice more <a href="http://doit.umbc.edu/itnm" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">workshops and brown bags</a> as the new team is even holding a special drawing for people who frequent DoIT events. From scheduled workshops to individual or small group consults, if you’d like to learn more, please contact <strong>Sherri Braxton-Lieber</strong> at 410.455.2121 or <a href="http://" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">sblieber@umbc.edu</a>. <br></div>

<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Bb course <span>shells</span> for FA2014 were created on July 12, 2014 on the Bb production server at <a href="http://blackboard.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://blackboard.umbc.edu</a>.  Enrollments for FA2014 courses will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/schedule" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC)</a>, provided that there is an <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2010/08/how_new_employe_1.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">instructor of record</a> listed. The addition of new course sections and/or instructors will result in new Bb <span>shells</span> being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update hourly.</p><p>If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/schedule" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">SOC</a>, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved. Once you are listed in the <a href="https://my.umbc.edu/go/schedule" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">SOC</a>, your Bb course shell will be created automatically.<br></p><p><strong>Note</strong>:</p><ul><li><span>By default, if an instructor is teaching multiple sections of </span>the<span> same course, all sections are combined into <em>one</em> Bb course shell. If you prefer separate shells, please submit an <a href="https://rt.umbc.edu/UMBC/RequestHelp.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">RT ticket to split sections</a>. </span></li><li><span>If you need a </span><span>shell</span><span> for a research or independent study course, please submit a </span><a href="http://www.umbc.edu/doit/blackboard/requestbbshell.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">new course request</a><span>.</span></li></ul><span>As a reminder, all Bb course </span><span>shells</span><span> are initially unavailable to students until the instructor </span><a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867862" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">makes it available</a><span>. For help, visit </span><a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blackboard/help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">www.umbc.edu/blackboard/help</a><span>.</span></div>
