2 summer ‘10 | Faculty Technology Guide 

From the Desk of the Chief 

Academic Computing Officer 

Dear Touro Faculty 

Member, 

I am pleased to present 

you with the Summer 

2010 issue of the Touro 

College Guide to Touro 

College Computing Resources 

and Training. 

Academic Computing 

is once again taking a 

leadership position in 

moving technology forward. For example, one technology 

that has been adopted at 95% of U.S. universities is webenhancement 

of courses using Blackboard. Blackboard is 

considered the Cadillac of LMS (Learning Management 

Systems). Within Blackboard, we transitioned from Blackboard 

7.3 to Blackboard 8.0 at all Touro schools except 

for the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, 

which will move to the new platform this summer. 

Once again we are offering free technology workshops 

to enhance your Microsoft Word 2007, Excel 2007, 

PowerPoint 2007 skills, as well as getting a deeper 

understanding in Information Literacy, E-Reserves and 

Desktop Publishing software. Additionally, you will learn 

to engage your students by familiarizing yourself with 

using Response Pads – Clickers, and you will learn to 

make your classes livelier by experiencing How to Use to 

Use Video in your classroom. 

Another important training tool that you might want to 

use is Atomic Learning, which is a web-based learning 

tool, an anytime/anywhere software training resource. 

So, should your schedule not permit attending a regular 

workshop, you could still learn the subject matter with 

Atomic Learning. For a more detailed description of 

Atomic Learning, please see page 16. 

For your convenience, this summer, we have extended the 

workshop schedule all the way through September 2010. 

We hope that you will take advantage of these opportunities 

to upgrade your technology skills and you will 

register and attend one or more of these free workshops. 

We appreciate your ideas and suggestions on ways 

of making our instructional technology resources and 

workshop offerings more responsive to your needs, and 

have incorporated many of your suggestions. We hope 

that you will continue to provide us with your ideas and 

to communicate them to Phil Charach, Director of Instructional 

Technology (philipc@touro.edu/212-463-0400 

Ext. 5688), who is always available to discuss instructional 

technology at Touro with you. 

Best wishes for a restful summer, 

Dr. Issac Herskowitz 

Chief Academic Computing Officer 

We are always seeking to deliver technology to you in 

the most efficient and innovative manner. Using Adobe 

Connect to present Faculty Workshops as Webinars, is 

another example of innovation and forward thinking, as 

this allows you to attend workshops virtually where ever 

you are, and you are not confined to the physical location 

where the workshop is held.

From the Desk of the Director of 

Instructional Technology 

Dear 

Colleague: 

I would like to take this 

opportunity to thank all 

of you who filled out 

the technology survey 

which we emailed to 

you. We are currently in 

the midst of analyzing 

the results, as well as 

the feasibility of implementing 

your ideas. Be assured that your responses will 

help us provide better technology and training options for 

you, as we greatly value your feedback. We also want to 

congratulate the winner of the iPod, Dr. Aaron Brownstein 

of Touro College Los Angeles (see page 14). 

This summer, we are offering a whole range of free technology 

workshops, from Microsoft Office 2007 (Word 2007, 

Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007) to using clickers and 

video in the classroom. We will also be running a series of 

Blackboard 8.0 workshops, which will help sharpen your 

Blackboard 8.0 skills. All we need from you is to show up 

and participate in these free workshops and webinars. 

I would like to share with you a new development relating 

to a technology concept which you may have heard 

about, Augmented Reality, “a term for a live direct or 

indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose 

elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated 

imagery.” 1 A new twist, which has just been announced, 

is a mobile software application that identifies people via 

automated face recognition, called Recognizr, 2 developed 

by the Swedish software and design company The Astonishing 

Tribe (TAT) 3 All a user has to do is point a phone 

camera at a person across the room. Recognizr then 

creates a 3-D model of the person’s face and sends it to a 

cloud-based server where it’s matched with a database of 

images, sending back the subject’s name as well as links 

to any social networking sites the person has a profile on, 

such as Facebook or Twitter. This technology has a multitude 

of applications, including verifying student identities. 

The point that I am trying to convey is that we must be 

cognizant of the fact that technology in general, as well 

as educational technology, is continuing to move forward 

at a dizzying pace. Our task as education facilitators 

mandates that we incorporate technology into the classroom 

to provide a more effective classroom environment. 

I am always happy to discuss the instructional applications 

of new technologies with you. Please do not hesitate 

to call (212.463.0400 x5688) or email (philipc@touro. 

edu) with your thoughts and observations. 

Looking forward to seeing you at the summer 

workshops/webinars, 

Phil Charach 

Director of Instructional Technology

Communications workshops 

Public Speaking In Your Classroom: 

Giving Students an Alternative 

This course is designed to introduce Touro instructors to 

the instructional option of including a public speaking 

assignment in their classes. Public speaking is one of 

many vital communication skills that enhance the student’s 

ability to communicate. Writing assignments are the norm 

in most classes. A public speaking experience allows 

students to explore another important way of presenting 

their knowledge to an audience in a cogent manner. The 

assignment allows the instructor to observe the students’ 

familiarity with the material and their ability to express 

that material. Since students are asked to “think on their 

feet,” public speaking is an important critical thinking 

skill. The workshop will focus on the speech making 

process, from topic selection, development, organization, 

supportive evidence and delivery. Informational speeches 

based on course material will be the dominant speech 

pattern. On occasion, the instructor may want to use the 

persuasive speech format, perhaps even setting up a 

debate between two opposing views. 

It is important for instructors willing to experiment with this 

kind of communication assignment to adequate prepare 

their students for its preparation. Merely to make the assignment 

without any guidance will hamper a successful 

student outcome. The workshop will provide a step-by-step 

sequence for introducing the Public Speaking assignment. 

Library workshops 

E-Reserves & Copyright in the classroom 

E-Reserves (electronic reserves) is a web-based tool 

used to easily distribute required readings of articles 

and book chapters to authorized students. Part of this 

workshop will cover searching for course reserves via 

the library’s website; the requirements for filing with the 

Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) and placing reserves 

online. The second part of the class emphasizes the 

importance of copyright compliance and fair use in the 

academia, and how E-reserves assists us in avoiding 

copyright infringement in the academia. 

Introduction to Library Resources & Services 

This workshop will provide an overview of the services 

the Library offers to support the teaching and research 

mission of the Touro College community. Focus will be 

on how to use library research tools, such as Proprietary 

Databases, E-Journals and finding full-text refereed 

articles from licensed research tools. 

Plagiarism & Cyber-Plagiarism 

Plagiarism is an increasing problem on college campuses. 

The Internet and library databases have made it easy 

for students to access a vast amount of information on 

any topic possible. This 45-minute class reviews tips to 

prevent and discourage plagiarism, by educating students 

with real life examples and explaining the dangers of 

committing plagiarism. Unique topics or assignments that 

require students to do their own thinking as well as other 

anti-plagiarism strategies will be suggested. 

Database Alert Services 

Many of the databases acquired by the library offer alert 

services. In this way, you can automatically be alerted 

about new articles that meet your research criteria. 

Notifications can be either in the form of emails or through 

RSS feeds. This short workshop will help you to set up and 

make use of such alert services. 

Books, databases and more: 

an introduction to Touro Libraries’ 

resources and online services 

This workshop is designed to give faculty members a 

general introduction to the Library’s research resources, 

particularly online journals, e-books and licensed research 

tools. Library services such as library tutorials, course 

reserves, interlibrary loans, Noodle Tools (a bibliography 

generator) and instant messaging (chat) are also explored.


9 



Finding articles & e-journals in-depth 

This hands-on workshop will cover searching for articles 

and journals online in greater detail. You will find full-text 

e-journals, historical newspaper articles, scholarly/peerreviewed 

articles in library databases, and learn the use 

of Article Linker and Google Scholar to link back to the 

Touro library databases. 

Note: Deans and chairs are encouraged to arrange a 

general information session and/or a subject-based session 

for their own departments or schools. •

us analyze and direct our faculty technology training and implementation efforts as 

efficiently as possible. 

To those who participated, thank you for responding. We appreciate the time you 

spent and are currently analyzing the set of responses. 

The winner of the ipod nano was drawn on March 15th 2010 -- congratulations to Dr. 

Aaron Brownstein of Touro College Los Angeles!

Docs 

By Slava Khaitov, Instructional Technology Specialist 

Given the widespread 

use of 

Microsoft Office, the 

company’s flagship 

application, it is hard to 

imagine anyone craving 

a better productivity 

software suite. Keeping 

in mind that 90% of 

users utilize less than 

50% of product functionality, 

the question is 

whether it is worth the hassle of dealing with alternative 

products, learning new, unfamiliar interfaces, adjusting to 

new terminology, and facing possible compatibility issues. 

We strongly believe it is. For one thing, similar products 

offered by other companies provide important benefits 

to their users – something that MS Office is not (yet?) 

capable of delivering. This article is the first of a series of 

editorials on alternative ways to create your documents, 

spreadsheets and presentations. 

Google Docs is the productivity suite that tops our list. It 

offers online document editor, electronic spreadsheet and 

presentation applications, as well as a form builder and 

Google Docs uses a new approach to delivering productivity 

software called “software as a service.” Instead of 

installing and using the application on your local computer, 

Google keeps it on its web servers. This makes 

Google Docs completely independent of any specific 

platform and operating system. Whether you use the 

Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Chrome browsers, and 

the Windows, Mac OS, or Unix based operating systems, 

Google Docs simply always works for you. 

This application centralization approach also frees end 

users from having to deal with the technical issues of 

application deployment such as installation, configuration, 

updating and troubleshooting, as well as the legal 

issues of activation, registration and acceptance of a strict 

license agreement. Users simply access Google Docs 

via any web browser, and then create, store, and share 

documents online. If desired, documents can be tagged, 

archived, sent via e-mail, or downloaded locally in many 

different formats such as DOC , ODF, HTML, PDF, RTF, 

and TXT. All work is automatically backed up on a regular 

basis to reduce the risk of data loss. As an additional 

benefit, you no longer have to carry your files around or 

worry about whether other computers have the appropriate 

applications installed so that you can open your files. 

As long as there is an Internet connection, your Google 

Docs application, and documents created with it, are immediately 

accessible. 

online storage, at no cost. Google Docs provides compatibility 

and integration with other applications and allows 

multiple remote users to work together on a document 

simultaneously, while maintaining a high level of information 

security. 

We highly recommend that you try out Google Docs. 

Just sign in at http://docs.google.com with your Gmail 

(Google E-mail) account, or click on the “Get Started” 

button to create one. We will help you get familiar with 

the application by providing you with updates and tips in 

our future articles. So, stay tuned! •

Using Outlook Web Access 

By Irina Berman, Instructional Technology Specialist 

Outlook Web 

Access (OWA) 

provides access to 

Touro email accounts 

by using a web browser 

and the Internet. 

OWA is a web based 

email client that is very 

similar to Microsoft 

Outlook in appearance and functionality if you’re using 

Internet Explorer. With a different web browser (e.g., 

Firefox, Safari), OWA 2007 will have limited features. 

To access Touro OWA 

email client a faculty or 

a staff member has to go 

to https://owa.touro.edu/ 

owa/ 

OWA 2007 has improved 

logon security. If you select 

Private Computer, your 

session will be closed after 12 hours. If you select Public 

or shared computer your session will be closed after 15 

minutes. It is recommended that you set your security to 

Private if you are accessing your email in your office, 

home, or other private setting. 

Mail 

E-mail appears automatically as it arrives in your Inbox 

and the unread counts in the folder tree stay up-to-date 

so you no longer have to press the “Check Message” button 

over and over again to see if you have received that 

important email you’ve been expecting. 

Also in the folder tree, the enhanced drag and drop functionality 

has been added from the mail list. You can drag 

and drop single or multiple items from the mail list into 

folders and interact with those items by right clicking and 

choosing actions within the menus. The right-click folder 

tree context menu now includes: 

ÎÎ 

New folder creation and in-place folder renaming (no 

more dialogs). Just choose the type of folder you want 

(Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks) and right-click to 

choose “Create New Folder” from the menu. 

Î Î “Mark All as Read” action for folders 

Î Î “Empty Folder” to delete all items in one click - a 

new Option to empty the Deleted Items folder on log 

off is also provided in the new Options pages. 

ÎÎ 

New integrated Reminders drop down from the folder 

title area. You can choose to hide these temporarily 

by one click outside the menu, or dismiss individual 

or multiple appointments by clicking the Snooze or 

Dismiss buttons. This isn’t a pop-up so it won’t be 

blocked, and you won’t miss an appointment.

THE PREVIEW & MESSAGE PANE 

The above toolbar will always appear in your preview & 

message pane of OWA. 

Setting Up The Preview & Message Pane: 

When you click on this icon the following 

menu appears: You can then setup how 

you want OWA 2007 to display (preview or 

not) your messages on the screen. The preview 

options are OFF, RIGHT, and BOTTOM. The 

preview pane allows you to view your e‐mail message 

content directly, without having to double‐click on the 

message. 

Composing new email. 

Click to open and compose a new e-mail. Here, 

you can add names and addresses easily with the new 

auto-complete menu that remembers recently-used items 

so you don’t have to. 

Options 

Your Personal Folders & Inbox 

This is where you will find such items as 

your inbox, sent items, calendar, contacts, 

deleted items, drafts, notes and more. All of your inbox 

and folders are located along the left‐hand side of the 

OWA screen for you to access. 

You still have the ability to quickly find another Touro 

College user, by clicking on the button. When 

you click on this button, the OWA 2007 ADDRESS BOOK 

window appears. By default, the system checks the global 

address list. If you want to check against your personal 

contacts, you can select this option from the window. 

SENDING ATTACHMENTS IN A MESSAGE 

In the new message window click on the attachment 

icon. This will open the ‘attach files’ dialog box. When the


19 

Using Outlook Web 

Access - continued 

dialog box appears, browse for your file(s), click to select, 

then click the open button in this window to attach. If you 

want to attach more than one file at a time, and the files 

reside in the same directory location, use your ctrl key on 

the keyboard then select each of your files. Their names will 

appear in the file name field. Click the open button to attach. 

DELETING A MESSAGE 

To delete any message that appears on your list, select it by 

clicking once, then press the delete key on your keyboard. 

The delete icon does the same as your delete key on the 

keyboard. If you want to select more than one message, 

you can use either your shift key (for e‐mail messages 

together in a list) or your ctrl key and manually select 

each e‐mail message you want to remove. REMINDER 

– When you delete a message using either your delete 

key or the icon, your deleted message is moved to your 

deleted items folder. If you forget to empty this folder, it will 

be taking up valuable account space, leaving you less 

room for newer messages and the potential of receiving 

system messages that your e‐mail account is full. To empty 

the deleted items folder, right‐click on the folder, and select 

empty deleted items. 

If a confirmation window appears, click OK to 

finalize this process. 

CREATING A NEW E‐MAIL CONTACT 

When you click on the 

icon in your folder list 

or at the bottom left side of the OWA 2007 screen, you 

gain access your personal e‐mail address book. The main 

OWA 2007 screen will change to show you contacts. 

To create a new contact, click on the icon. The 

system will display a new window to enter in your contact 

details. When you are done entering in the information, 

click on the 

icon to record this contact into 

your list. The next time you click on the contact button, 

you will see this new contact listed. • 

THE LIBRARY 

AND YOU 

By Bashe Simon, Director of Libraries 

Besides offering comfortable and spacious study areas 

and public access to PCs, the Touro College library 

offers a wide range of resources and services. 

A series of free workshops are offered each semester 

aimed at introducing the many library proprietary databases, 

resources, and services available for your professional 

enrichment and for your students. Starting this 

spring, the same workshops are offered in the form of 

webinars designed to help faculty avoid the need to commute 

to attend a library class. To register for any of the 

classes, please contact: Sara Tabaei, MLIS, MA, Library 

Information Literacy Services Director, 212.463.0400 x 

5233, sara.tabaei@touro.edu. 

In addition, library orientations are offered for your 

students. These classes are taught by an experienced 

library staff and are tailored to the needs of your classes 

be they subject specific or general. The library invites you 

to schedule a library instruction session for your class at 

your local library. 

EReserves contains required electronic course material 

selected by professors and maintained by the library staff. 

All material placed in EReserves is filed with the Copyright 

Clearance Center before being scanned into the course 

section. You are highly encouraged to submit materials for 

inclusion (a request form is available under the EReserves 

link) to allow for easy, remote access. With the assistance 

of the Academic Computing department, EReserves is 

now included into the Library Resources link in Blackboard 

8 courses. 

Also all of the other library resources can be accessed via 

Blackboard (a one-stop shopping for students) by requesting 

a BB 8 template from Academic Computing. 

The library homepage recently underwent a facelift making 

it even easier to access our numerous resources. To 

highlight our recently acquired databases, a “Spotlight of

SafeAssign & 

Plagiarism 

By Irina Berman, IT Specialist 

Plagiarism has always been very 

difficult for institutions to measure 

and control, but since a flood of resources 

has become easily available 

over the Internet, the problem has 

grown exponentially. A student only 

has to google the topic of an essay 

and they get access to thousands 

of ideas, opinions and arguments, 

already thought through for them; 

sometimes, an entire essay is available 

online for free or for a small fee. 

Many students also do not understand 

how to properly cite content 

found online. Regardless of intent, 

plagiarism may allow some students 

to gain an unfair advantage over others. 

Unsurprisingly, many institutions 

are still searching for effective methods 

of deterrence and prevention. 

Here at Touro, we have implemented 

a new tool, SafeAssign that allows 

you to ensure a fair playing ground 

for all your students. SafeAssign 

is integrated with Blackboard and 

prevents plagiarism by detecting 

unoriginal content in student assignment 

submissions. SafeAssign deters 

plagiarism by creating opportunities 

to educate students on proper attribution 

and citations while properly 

leveraging the wealth of information 

at their disposal. 

How is SafeAssign used? Faculty 

members can set up SafeAssignments 

in their Blackboard courses 

to allow students submit papers. 

Adobe Acrobat 

Connect 

By Slava Khaitov, Instructional Technology Specialist 

The ability to deliver educational 

content remotely and communicate 

with distant students in real-time 

have been long-time dreams of many 

educators. Recently, many technologies 

have emerged in the attempt 

to provide such functionality. Some 

have a limited set of tools, such as 

instant messaging with video and 

voice. Others represent complete 

solutions that embrace a wide range 

of features that might be useful for 

online content delivery. Adobe Acrobat 

Connect (formerly Macromedia 

Breeze) is one of the latter products 

and has been purchased and deployed 

by Academic Computing 

Department of Touro College to 

enhance the educational experience 

of both faculty and students. 

Adobe Acrobat Connect is a web 

conferencing tool that allows remote 

participants to conduct online meetings 

in real time. It enables voice and video 

communication over the Internet, public 

and private text messaging among 

the participants, application, document 

and screen sharing, file exchange and 

whiteboard – all from a single, easy 

to learn interface. There are numerous 

ways that Adobe Acrobat Connect 

comes into play in the academic 

environment – whether by remote 

training of both faculty and students, 

remote troubleshooting of technical issues 

related to our online systems such 

as Blackboard and Plato, as well as in 

real-time online class sessions. 

The Academic Computing Instructional 

Technology Team has already 

used Adobe Connect successfully for 

our online faculty technology workshop 

Webinars. The Touro Library 

has also started to offer many of its 

workshops as webinars using the 

Adobe Connect system beginning this 

past March. 

As demand for Adobe Connect at 

Touro keeps growing each day, the 

Academic Computing department 

is working on expanding the system 

capacity and training our faculty. 

Our team is ready to provide short 

introductory training sessions on 

Adobe Connect to our staff and faculty 

members who need to 

access their remote students and 

colleagues in real time. Contact us at 

212-463-0400 ext. 5467 or facultysupport.academic@touro.edu 

to 

arrange a session. •

SafeAssign & Plagiarism - continued 

the submissions are then checked 

against SafeAssign’s comprehensive 

databases of source material. Faculty 

members can then check the results, 

called originality reports, in the 

Blackboard Grade Center. Faculty 

members can also upload papers to 

SafeAssign using the Direct Submit 

feature, without student involvement. 

How does SafeAssign work? 

SafeAssign checks papers against 

the following databases: a comprehensive 

index of documents available 

for public access on the Internet; the 

ProQuest ABI/Inform database (1,100 

publications, 2.6 million articles, 

1990’s to current, updated weekly); institutional 

document archives containing 

all papers previously submitted to 

SafeAssign in Touro College; Global 

Reference Database containing papers 

volunteered by students in other 

Blackboard client institutions to help 

prevent cross-institutional plagiarism. 

What does the Originality Report 

look like? Suspect portions of the 

paper are notated in different colors, 

with links to original sources listed. 

How do you interpret the 

SafeAssign matching scores? Sentence 

matching scores represent 

the percentage probability that two 

phrases have the same meaning. 

For example, a score of 90 percent 

means that there is a 90 percent 

probability that these two phrases 

are the same and a 10 percent probability 

that they are similar by chance 

and not because the submitted paper 

includes content from the existing 

source (which may or may not be 

properly attributed). 

Overall score is an indicator of what 

percentage of the submitted paper 

matches existing sources. This score is 

a warning indicator only, and papers 

should be reviewed to see if the 

matches are properly attributed. 

Scores below 15 percent: These 

papers typical include some quotes 

and few common phrases or blocks 

of text that match other documents. 

These papers typically do not require 

further analysis, as there is no evidence 

of the possibility of plagiarism 

in these papers. 

Scores between 15 percent and 40 

percent: These papers include extensive 

quoted or paraphrased material 

or they may include plagiarism. 

These papers should be reviewed to 

determine if the matching content is 

properly attributed.
