About Online Courses at Maryland

ELMS (Enterprise Learning Management System) is the online environment that supports most online teaching and learning at the University of Maryland. ELMS provides access to static course content (e.g., syllabi, schedules, announcements, and lecture notes), and to interactive tools (e.g., discussion groups, live chats, and online assessments). Courses in the MPS in Clinical Psychological Science are delivered synchronously, meaning that students are required to login at a specific time. A synchronous course will indicate this information either within the course description or list a specific online meeting time.
