ELMS Services

[1]The E [1]nterprise Learning Management System [1] (ELMS) [1] 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… [2]

The Learning Technologies staff provides workshops [3], consultations [3], user documentation, and technical support (elms@umd.edu) for ELMS.
