Blackboard Collaborate Replacing Wimba As previously announced in October, DoIT will be installing Blackboard Collaborate 11 during the Bb upgrade window starting on December 22 at 10 pm. Bb Collaborate 11 is the new web-based conferencing system following Bb's acquisition of Wimba and Elluminate in Summer 2010. It allows faculty to incorporate live, multi-way audio and video, a basic whiteboard with mark-up, application and desktop sharing and other tools for interactivity. A free 30-day trial of Collaborate 11 is available to any faculty member wishing to preview it, by signing up at http://try.bbcollaborate.com/trial/register.go. DoIT staff will introduce Bb Collaborate 11 during drop-in sessions in ENGR 025 from 12 - 1 pm on January 4, 6, 9, and 16. Further training sessions will be planned prior to the start of the Spring 2012 semester. ]]> As previously announced in October, DoIT will be installing Blackboard Collaborate 11 during the Bb upgrade window starting on December 22 at 10 pm.

Full Title: Reminder to FA2011 Faculty to Download Bb Gradebook, Bb Upgrade on 12/22As previously announced, DoIT will be upgrading the Blackboard (Bb) production system on Thursday, December 22 starting at 10 pm. Though final grades are not due until January 4, all FA2011 faculty are encouraged to back up their Bb gradebook by downloading it to Excel, before the upgrade starts. This is just a precautionary step as no problems are anticipated with the upgrade. DoIT staff will be available in ENGR 025 from 12- 1 pm on Dec. 13, 14, 20 and 21 to provide assistance, should faculty have questions about downloading their grades. Bb course shells for Winter and Spring 2012 courses will be auto-created on Monday, December 26. Prior to that date, faculty can develop content using older course sites, and then use the export/ import process to move that content once the new shells are auto-created. However, given the start of Winter Session on January 3, DoIT will manually create Winter 2012 shells upon request, with the understanding that faculty who do so need to use a published work around if they encounter the broken links problem the upgrade is meant to resolve. This upgrade is necessary in order to fix a growing number of web browser incompatibilities, and a known issue of broken links occurring in an imported course. There is no longer a convenient window of time when upgrades can occur during the academic year, but we have reviewed this decision with an informal advisory group of active Bb instructors in several disciplines, as well as the Faculty Senate’s Computer Policy Committee at its 9/16/11 and 10/7/11 meetings. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve the campus’ use of Blackboard. ]]> Full Title: Reminder to FA2011 Faculty to Download Bb Gradebook, Bb Upgrade on 12/22As previously announced, DoIT will be upgrading the Blackboard (Bb) production system on Thursday, December 22... http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/12/reminder_to_fa2.html https://my3.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/10621/guest@my.umbc.edu/54764df838c50888d92be2385b5d79b3/api/pixel blackboard general hybrid teaching-and-learning Division of Information Technology (DoIT) https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/doit https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xsmall.png?1727453227 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/original.JPG?1727453227 https://assets1-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xxlarge.png?1727453227 https://assets3-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xlarge.png?1727453227 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/large.png?1727453227 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/medium.png?1727453227 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/small.png?1727453227 https://assets2-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xsmall.png?1727453227 https://assets4-my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xxsmall.png?1727453227 Division of Information Technology 0 0 false Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:28:52 -0500 Course Redesign/ Hybrid Course Redesign Workshop, 1/20 DoIT and the Faculty Development Center will be offering the Course Redesign/ Hybrid Course Redesign Workshop on January 20, 2012 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm in ENGR 023.

Alright, true believers- I’m sure you all remember our last entry about Special Collection’s super-secret assortment of superheroes. Since then, you’ve seen the Thor movie. You knew you absolutely had to wait through the Captain America credits to find out more about the new Avengers movie. You might have even sat through the Conan the Barbarian remake (brave soul). And now you’re yearning for more. Plus, your eyes are getting crossed again with a new batch of journal articles. So let’s talk comics! In particular, let’s talk about Marvel’s eye-patched wonder, Nick Fury!

Made ubiquitous by Samuel L. Jackson, the character of Nick Fury first came into his own as the title character in Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, the leader of an elite multi-ethnic, multi-racial WWII fighting unit. Fun fact: it’s a bit hard to tell the resemblance here, but Fury’s Commandos play a key role in Captain America: the First Avenger as the team that helps the Cap’n take on Red Skull. We’ve got several issues of the Sgt. Fury books, well worth checking out for their Kirbyesque art (we’ll explain that another time) and non-stop action.

Fury went on to bigger and better things as the first agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., a secret agency set up to counter all those evil secret agencies that were floating around in the 60’s. Starting with Strange Tales, and later moving to his own Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. , we see Fury change from a rough and tumble soldier of fortune to a super slick, super spy and finally to a super-soldier, always taking on seemingly insurmountable enemies and emerging victorious. As with the original series, these books feature some great art (especially the 15 issue run of Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.), as well as lots! of! unnecessary! exclamations!  


So come in for a visit, comics fans! Special Collections will be open from 1 until 4 pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday all the way through finals, and until 7 pm on Thursdays. During the winter, we’ll be open by appointment only. To find our superhero lair, enter the Library Gallery and walk straight back- you’ll see our doors on the right. Secret identities will be protected with all due care. Please note that Batmobile parking is limited.
