Question 26

Groups - The groups I have been using no longer have enrollments. Where are they?

Alice Gwinn · Accepted Answer

The group structure from the legacy LMS with enrollments was brought over as course level enrollments (currently only visible for super admins). Anyone added to the groups will automatically get the enrollments, so you do not need to re-create legacy groups with enrollments.

For example, if someone is added to a group with enrollments prior to the LMS launch, then that course enrollment will remain in the member's enrollments and will be visible on their Dashboard.

Coming soon, the Learning Path feature will be a new way to create enrollments and a more structured way of adding enrollments to users.

With the LMS upgrade, you have several ways to assign enrollments; you can:

Add them to existing groups.
Create new groups and apply new enrollments.
Create Learning Paths with structured enrollments
Assign enrollments to individual users.

Question 43

Search - I cannot find the Course Code I am looking for. What are my search options?

Alice Gwinn · Accepted Answer

Tips for searching within the LMS - You can use full text and keyword searches across multiple properties of the object (ex. a course code or name):

For Courses and Learning Paths - the search is across code, title, short description, and search tags
For Users - the search is across first name, last name, username, and email address
Verbatim Search - wrap it in quotes, i.e., “LMS Orientation” or “My Search Phrase”
Other Search Parameters allows for simple logic such as AND and OR by simply using the words and and or, i.e. “this” and “this”, “this” or “this”

Question 44

Search - Is there a way to search just our DC's members?

Alice Gwinn · Accepted Answer

If your member search turns up users from other DC's, please email ftiinternational@ifti.edu and provide your Name, Member ID, Email address and DC. We will verify your Permissions which should only allow you to access members within your DC. Reducing the number of users in your query should help to speed your search.

Question 45

Speed - My computer is slow.

admin · Accepted Answer

There are a variety of workstations that can successfully operate within the LMS but really the ideal method to determine if a workstation is compatible is to use the "Test My Workstation" procedure. This tests a variety of variables to verify if the workstation browser is compatible with the LMS, and makes sure the users have the appropriate settings for their browser.

Question 46

Speed - Why am I experiencing slowness when logging into the LMS?

Alice Gwinn · Accepted Answer

Are you a student? Login should only take between 5 to 10 seconds. If you wait for more than 10 seconds, complete the LMS Contact form so we can further research the issue.

System issues including slowness are posted on the LMS Alerts ticker or LMS login page.

Are you an LMS admin/instructor/coordinator? Most LMS admins, instructors, coordinators, and DOTs have more than 300+ enrollments which may take awhile for the widget to load all the courses. The iFTI Curriculum Staff are in the process of cleaning up the Enrollments widget and launching the My Learning Path widget to minimize the clutter and improve login time. Programmers are also looking for solutions to improve speed.

Question 47

System Requirements - How do I test my system?

admin · Accepted Answer

Check your system requirements by clicking the System Test link (on the bottom left of the LMS home page). On the Workstation Compatibility Test page, click the Test My Workstation button. All Required Items should be green. If anything shows up red/yellow, download the appropriate plug in or edit your browser settings.

Question 48

Transcript - My transcript displays multiple entries of the same course completion.

admin · Accepted Answer

The transcript page tracks completions by lesson/s. For example, a course may have one or more lesson and the system automatically completes all lesson. However, only a single entry is shown on your official transcript, your IMSe record, and the IUPAT app.

Question 49

Uploads - How do I upload completions in the LMS?

Donna Cruz · Accepted Answer

There are two ways to upload completions in the LMS. To view the steps, watch the Uploads video.
