Coming Soon: Collaborate to Support 25 Videos Per Page
Increased engagement for moderators available in mid-SP2021
UPDATE #1: Gallery view is now available! Learn more in this FAQ.
UPDATE #2: Students and participants gain access to gallery view with the May update.
Spring will bring warm weather to the UMBC campus community… and an exciting update for our web conferencing tool, Collaborate! The first phase of increased video thumbnails is tentatively targeted for April 8, 2021, allowing moderators to see up to 25 videos per page.
Three options will be available:
The Gallery View displays up to 25 videos per page. The zoom function reduces the videos displayed. Up to 250 videos can be supported in a session using pagination to display the thumbnails.
The Speaker View centers the lead speaker on the screen with 7-8 video thumbnails tiled at the bottom.
The Tile View places the speaker on the left with 11-12 video thumbnails on the right.
Gallery view works best in Chrome and is not supported at all in Safari at this time.
By summer, Blackboard anticipates supporting a student view of 25 videos per page. Future development for Collaborate includes pinning videos and side-by-side display of content against a smaller gallery.
Over the last year, Blackboard conducted extensive research with faculty and student focus groups to ensure the new functionality is designed for teaching and learning rather than just deploying more thumbnails like any other web conferencing tool. Reducing
cognitive fatigue and
non-verbal overload, supporting instructor customization, and providing student privacy are all elements Blackboard researched and will incorporate into its design plan for Collaborate. Additional research is
posted to the Blackboard Community site, which requires a free account to access.
During SP2021, Collaborate also will also feature these updates:
- Session owners can tell at-a-glance if the recording is available to the public or to course members only.
- Some Collaborate error pages will provide chatbot support to attendees. The chatbot is also available on the Report an Issue panel.
Finally, to reduce impact on session resources, any session that lasts longer than 8 hours will be automatically disconnected from the Collaborate system. While sessions can be scheduled for any length of time including 24-hours and no end date, it is unusual that anyone stays in the session for more than 8 hours at a time. The system therefore will assume extended connection to a session is unintended and disconnect the user from the room. However, attendees can rejoin the session, if they need to access it again.
As always, if you have any questions about teaching, learning, and technology at UMBC, please consider the following options:

Notice of Network Maintenance
To All HPCF Users,
In an effort to address any lingering issues with our network hardware, we will be performing a staggered reboot of two network gateway devices. These devices redundantly link portions of the HPCF environments to each other and to the main campus. The staggering of the reboots should eliminate the possibility of a loss of network connection.
If you notice any connection issue in the next 1.5 hours, please be aware that a failure in this redundancy might be to blame.
Please let us know if you have any questions about this.
Thank you for your understanding,
Roy Prouty

Intermittent Connections to Storage Servers
To all taki users,
Today many of you experienced connection issues to your home or research directories. While the exact cause of the connection issue is still being worked-out, replacing the cables has resolved the immediate problem of repairing the connection between the taki cluster environment and the storage servers that hold user data and software.
As a result, some jobs relying on these storage locations might have failed. We apologize for any loss of jobs or workflow.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
If you notice an issue, please submit a descriptive RT Help Ticket via the following link:
Thank you for your understanding,
Roy Prouty
System Administrator, UMBC HPCF
Below is an example of a job scam reported to the Department of Information Technology (DoIT). The scammer, impersonating Career Center, is using a fake/spoofed email address <career-services@umbc.edu> that might look similar to Career Center’s real email <careers@umbc.edu>, but can also be easily differentiated by comparing the two.
From: career-services@umbc.edu Date: March 15, 2021 at 11:29:00 PM EDT To: Subject:Administrative Assistant Position - Part-Time
<username>
You have been offered a Spring 2021 Internship opportunity at the convenience of your home or, Which serve as a gateway to pay all expenses incurred during this pandemic. This opportunity should be done at leisure taking at most 1hr/day, 2-3 times a week. Please send your resume to; Email: bartonm078@gmail.com for the job description.
Career Services UMBC.

In the example above, the scammer is trying to impersonate the Career Center of UMBC to offer users a part-time job. The email claims that users must contact the sender at the provided “gmai.coml” address to get the job. The job offer is fake. The message is a scam. Please do not reply to this or any similar email.
This message does show some red flags that suggest phishing: poor grammar, incorrect punctuation and a gmail.com address instead of a UMBC email address. Notice how words like “which” is capitalized after a comma. This is not the type of grammar, punctuation or capitalization most would expect from a professional email. Further, no legitimate organization will tell you to respond to a “gmail.com” account to show your interest in the job.
The sender’s fake email address also can be easily differentiated from the Career Center’s real email address :
Scammer Email Address: <career-services@umbc.edu>
UMBC Career Center’s Actual Email Address: <careers@umbc.edu>
What to do now?
If you do receive any of these scams shown above or a similar scam, please DO NOT respond any further or click on any URLs. If you have provided any banking or financial information, please notify your bank or financial institution immediately. If you have been sent a check, you should not attempt to cash or deposit it. If you have deposited a check already, please contact your bank and tell them that it may be part of a scam.
Whether or not you responded to the scam, please forward the message (with the email headers) to security@umbc.edu. We will also keep track of any other information you submit about the scammers, such as their phone numbers. If you were sent a check or other materials, please send pictures of it and the envelope they came in.
How do I forward full email headers?
