UMBC UNDERGRADUATES AND IT: HISTORICAL SURVEY RESULTS
Since 2006, UMBC has participated in EDUCAUSE research examining how students use technology and how it shapes teaching and learning. Explore historical survey findings on technology adoption, instructional practices, and student preferences, along with an archive of annual UMBC results and accessible datasets.
Known for its research-based rubric on quality online course design — not instructor delivery –QM takes a lot of the guess work out of developing or evaluating online courses. A handful of UMBC faculty are certified QM reviewers. QM offers face-to-face and online training workshops, and also frequently partners with the Online Learning consortium, which specializes in online faculty development in all aspects of online learning.
