IT Services and Support
DIT provides a number of different services to support our campus's academic, instructional, and technological needs. These include IT live support, provided online and over the phone by the DIT Service Desk, and in-person at Terrapin Tech. Classroom Technology Support is provided to 336 classrooms across 41 on-campus buildings. DIT also supports IT self-service through regular updates to support articles, service catalog articles, and trainings.
Integrated Academic Tools
In addition to the core academic technologies, DIT offers a range of tools that can be integrated into ELMS-Canvas or other platforms. These tools are designed to promote student engagement through mobile polling and online discussions, facilitate methods of assessment for instructors, empower students to showcase their work through e-portfolios, and provide accessibility solutions to UMD community members.
Core Academic Technology Tools
Core academic technology tools serve key aspects of the instructional learning environments for the majority of students and instructors. On a daily basis, over 30,000 students and 2,000 instructors log into ELMS-Canvas, UMD's Learning Management System, Zoom supports video conferencing and recording for over 3,000 online meetings, and members of the UMD community watch over 1,500 hours of online video lectures in Panopto.
