Analytics
DIT believes that technology has the power to transform academic and research practices. To support this vision, we continuously analyze how faculty, students, and staff are engaging with digital technology. DIT uses data from the systems it supports and from the students, faculty and staff we serve to inform everything from business decisions to training to strategic plans.

Academic Technology Systems and Services Report
Each semester, the Academic Technology and Innovation team collects, analyzes and reports data on the usage and availability of technologies used for learning and teaching. The report included everything from available ELMS-Canvas courses to collective years spent in Zoom to UMD community members served during weekend Service Desk hours.

Did you know that UMD collectively spent 42 years in Zoom during Spring 2022? This is approximately half the usage (88 years) during Spring 2021 when UMD courses were held mostly online. Learn more about how Spring 2022 represented a big shift from Spring 2021 in more than Zoom usage.
