<Title>Reminder: Blackboard Courses Scheduled for Server Retirement</Title>
<Tagline>Courses before Summer 2019 to be retired beginning 7/1</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>During Summer 2022, DoIT staff and Blackboard will archive our entire instance of Blackboard, which will save individually backed-up copies of every course and organization through SP2022. Courses offered before and including AY18-19 will be retired by the end of FA2022. </span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Beginning July 1</strong>, courses offered from the following terms will be scheduled for retirement:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Any courses older than five years</li>
    <li>Fall 2018</li>
    <li>Winter 2019</li>
    <li>Spring 2019</li>
    <li>Summer 2019</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Blackboard system's overall performance and efficiency will improve by removing files and database transactions from the content server and database. AY19-20, AY20-21, and AY21-22 will remain on the server. Fall 2022 will begin a new academic year of data retention (AY22-23).</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong><u>FAQs about Course Retirement</u></strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Is my content gone forever?</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>No, Blackboard archived courses captured all course data, files, student submissions, discussions, grades, etc. through SP2022. These archives will reside on a secure cloud storage location.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>When will I lose access to courses that are being retired?</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The archiving process will begin on <strong>July 1st</strong>. <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/request-help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Faculty can place an RT ticket</a> to have their course content restored through November 2022. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Can I save a copy of my own courses?</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Yes -- and it is strongly encouraged! Instructors can <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/FIBaAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">export</a> (course content) and/or archive (course content &amp; student data) their courses. You should also <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/b4B1AQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">download a copy of your gradebook</a>. We recommend saving these files to UMBC’s cloud storage  to ensure long-term access in the event you change computer systems.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Can I restore (regain access to) only course content?</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Yes. Course content consists of files and course structure (menu, folders, etc.). Faculty can only <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/x/HYBaAQ" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">import</a> course content to an existing Blackboard course shell.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Can I restore course data?</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Course data consists of student submissions, discussions, and grades. We generally prefer not to restore full courses to avoid reinstating user accounts and confusing students with old content. If you must restore archived course data, please open an RT ticket with justification included.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How long will you keep the retired courses?</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We will keep the retired courses for approximately 2 years after Blackboard archives the courses. Faculty who may need content beyond 2 years should plan to save copies of their exported courses to UMBC Box or other cloud storage.</div>
    <div><br></div>

    <div class="html-content">
    <div><span>The Open Education Network is accepting applications for faculty and librarian partners to receive a certification for open educational practices (OEP). Applicants should be higher education faculty who have a lesson, unit, or other educational experience that they wish to transform through the use of open educational practices and teach in the spring of 2023 and practicing librarians ideally from the same institution as the faculty. The Certificate in OEP offers formal training in open educational practices grounded in the principles of social justice, a community of peers, and expert instructors in order to transform learning to be more accessible and inclusive. Librarians and faculty who successfully complete the full program will receive a Certificate in Open Educational Practices from the Open Education Network.  </span></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>About the Certificate in Open Educational Practices</strong></div>
    <div>The Certificate in OEP is a professional development program that will create actionable pathways for faculty and librarians to implement open education for the transformation of learning. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Faculty and librarian partners will complete a nine-week long, asynchronous course in the fall about the range of open educational practices with modules on the hallmarks of open educational resources, copyright, and Creative Commons licensing, the hallmarks of open educational practices, the benefits and limitations of OEP, accessibility, and student empowerment and agency. Together, the faculty and librarian pairs will create an Action Plan to be implemented in the spring that seeks to transform learning through the power of open education. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In addition, the cohort will benefit from close engagement with program faculty -- open education leaders who have gained expertise through experience, professional development, and participation in various national initiatives. The integrated components of the certification program include online content, instructor-led cohorts, and action plan support and assessment. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In order to assure personalized attention to participants throughout the program, the cohort will be limited to 15 teams or 30 participants total. </div>
