Online Course Management Platform
- Katherine Worboys Izsak
ELMS is the campus learning management system. It is currently based on the Canvas platform. The Office of the Registrar will issue the instructor of record an ELMS course space. Instructors who are teaching in-person may choose not to use the site, however, most use it to at least host the syllabus and additional documents. There are a number of teaching and learning tools available through ELMS, including online discussion boards, audio conferencing, document sharing, document repositories, class calendars, announcements, and email. Class records, including grades, may also be maintained in ELMS.
Employees may enroll in an online, asynchronous ELMS orientation at https://myelms.umd.edu/courses/900386 . Instructors who have a question about a specific tool (e.g. Panopto, clickera, etc) and cannot find the answer should email the Division of IT (itsupport@umd.edu). ELMS technical support is available 24 hours per day at https://umd.service-now.com/itsupport/ or at 877-399-4090. Instructors with questions about course accessibility can contact the Division of IT Accessibility team (itaccessibility@umd.edu).
