<Title>Full building power outage Jan 14th 9:00 PM</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">All,<div><br></div>
    <div>We are currently switching the building environmental systems over to central plant monitoring and control. One of our critical issues after the switch is the continued operation of every aspect of the vivarium facilities in the event of a building or campus wide  power outage.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>To address this situation, the building will have a complete power outage next Tuesday evening at 9:00 PM for 4 hours or more. Emergency lighting and outlets will be operational, but it is advised that you turn off all vacuum pumps and sensitive electronic equipment prior to leaving Tuesday evening. </div>

    <div><br></div>
    <div>We examine a quantum Otto engine with a harmonic working medium consisting of two particles to explore the use of wave function symmetry as an accessible resource. It is shown that the bosonic system displays enhanced performance when compared to two independent single particle engines, while the fermionic system displays reduced performance. To this end, we explore the trade-off between efficiency and power output and the parameter regimes under which the system functions as engine, refrigerator, or heater. Remarkably, the bosonic system operates under a wider parameter space both when operating as an engine and as a refrigerator.<br>

<Title>Google Assignments and File Embed Available for Bb Courses</Title>
<Tagline>Use Google's Rich Editor to Provide Student Feedback</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>In January 2018, <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/bbannouncements/posts/71945" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Box discontinued Crocodoc in favor of the Box inline grading tool</a>. The goal of this transition was to provide a similar and simpler experience users know from the traditional Box interface. For instructors, the new Box inline grading tool reflects a simpler design, but the tools are often not robust enough to provide feedback. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Earlier in 2019, <a href="https://edu.google.com/assignments/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google announced Google Assignments</a>, a new tool that would allow faculty to create and share Google Suite files (Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets), as assignment templates for individual students and student groups. Google Assignments can be edited by students and faculty, changes tracked by all contributors, and submitted for a grade. When faculty review the submitted Google file, it is locked from further edits. Faculty can embed comments, grade with rubrics, check for plagiarism, or provide feedback from a reusable comment bank. After you post grades through Google Assignments, scores will automatically transfer to Blackboard. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Since <a href="https://help.blackboard.com/Learn/Student/Assignments/Cloud_Storage#access-cloud-storage-in-your-course_OTP-3" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">current student submissions via cloud</a> storage will not render and display Google Suite file types, often resulting in students having to download and resubmit their assignment, this new tool addresses a challenge with Blackboard’s current cloud storage support.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Additionally, instructors will be able to leverage <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/doit/posts/48703" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">unlimited Google Drive storage</a>, and use the Google Drive File Embed tool into their Blackboard Original and Blackboard Ultra courses. The Google Drive File Embed tool places a link to a native Google Suite file from the instructor's drive directly into a Blackboard course, and provides students with view-only access to the file. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Google Assignments and Google Drive File embed are available for both Blackboard Original and Blackboard Ultra courses! Check out the <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/faq/Google+Assignments+and+Google+Drive+File+Embed" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Assignments and Google Drive File Embed FAQs</a> and some of our <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/instructional-technology/events?mode=upcoming&amp;tag=google-assignments" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">upcoming trainings</a> on these tools.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>DoIT offers all active members of the UMBC community with three cloud storage options:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Box, with unlimited storage, is strongly recommended for institutional data</li>
    <li>Google Drive from Google Suite, with unlimited storage</li>
    <li>OneDrive from Office 365, with 1TB storage </li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As always, if you have any questions, please consider the following options:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.umbc.edu/faq" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Check our extensive FAQ collection</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://my.umbc.edu/go/request-help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Open a ticket via RT</a></li>
    <li>Follow the <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/instructional-technology" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instructional Technology</a> &amp; <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/doit" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">DoIT</a> myUMBC groups</li>
