Go to ELMSThe Enterprise Learning Management System (ELMS) provides secure online spaces for distributing course materials, communicating with your students, managing grades, and much more. ELMS, as an acronym also expresses the mission of the environment: Enhancing Learning for Maryland Students.

In addition to regular courses, ELMS spaces can be requested for organizations, committees, resource sites, workshops, and non-credit courses.

Whether used for a course or other purpose, the system includes a set of integrated tools from which you can choose to meet a variety of needs, for example:

  • Upload and organize files, such as your syllabus, lecture notes, articles, PowerPoint, and images, for your students to access through the secure course site.
  • Send announcements to your students to keep them up to date.
  • Set up a gradebook and then send the grades to UMEG.
  • Use the discussion forums to encourage discussion-based activities.
  • And more…

The Learning Technologies staff provides workshops, consultations, user documentation, and technical support (elms@umd.edu) for ELMS.

To get started with using ELMS, visit the Supported Tools page for ELMS (powered by Blackboard), which includes: getting started, documentation, training, etc.
