John Fritz, Assistant VP of Instructional Technology & New Media, UMBC
Since 2007, Fritz and his team at UMBC noticed a trend that students earning a D or F have engaged with their LMS 40% less than students earning a C or higher. They began to wonder if that pattern held true throughout the semester and what would happen if all students could see this sooner? And how might prior student LMS activity inform instructors’ future course design? Focused on helping students take more responsibility for their learning, UMBC created a “Check My Activity” (CMA) dashboard they all see when logging into their LMS, Blackboard.
Fritz is responsible for UMBC's focused efforts in teaching, learning and technology and was the original information architect and content developer for their website. Before joining OIT in 1999, he served as UMBC's director of News & Online Information for four years, and has more than 10 years experience as a public information officer, writer and editor in three University of Maryland campuses. He teaches a class in "web content development" for UMBC's English and Information Systems Departments, and has taught part-time for several years.
He holds an M.A. in English (with an emphasis in rhetoric and composition) from the University of Maryland, College Park; a B.A. in English and Religion from Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, Maryland; and a Certificate in New Media Publishing from the University of Baltimore.
