Overview
Litmos is the training platform used by COHMIS to administer online HMIS training. In this article you will find instructions on how to log in and how to reset your password along with a guide on how to access your trainings and navigate the platform accompanied by a video tutorial.
Log into Litmos
Your first log in will look slightly different. When your DPAL signs you up for training, you will receive an email containing login details with your username, a first time log in link, and a link you will use to log in going forward.
The initial log in link will prompt you to finish setting up your account by creating a password. Once you finish setting up your account you will immediately have access to your assigned trainings. After your first log in, you can access your training using this link: https://cohmis.litmos.com (bookmark for future use!).
Navigating Litmos
You've logged in - now what?
Upon logging in, you will see the Learner Dashboard, which is customized to your assigned courses and progress.
At the top is the navigation bar (from left to right):
- Home - brings you back to the Learner dashboard where you see an overview of your progress (To do, Overdue, Completed), can access your trainings (categorized by Not Started, In Progress, Overdue, and Completed), and on the right you have News, Recent Achievements and Recently Viewed.
- Learning Library - provides a collections of 'public facing' trainings available, meaning you can self register and do not need to be explicitly assigned to the course. It is important to note that the HMIS trainings will not live here because they are not public facing, you must be assigned these courses.
- Assigned Trainings - this is where your assigned trainings will live!
- Live Sessions - here you will find a calendar view of any Live sessions you are enrolled in.
- Achievements - gamification is one way of making training fun, you can gain badges, points, and level up by completing your trainings!
- Inbox - you will likely not need to use the messaging feature but may receive messages about approaching due dates, overdue trainings, or grading which will also be communicated via email. You are not expected to monitor this inbox but may find it useful!
- The globe icon allows you to select your preferred language and time zone. Please note the language selection will only apply to native platform functionality, it will not translate courses or training materials.
- Profile drop down - click the profile drop down to update your profile information and settings or to log out.
