PDF Instructions for Users of AHIMA's New LMS

Instructions for Users of AHIMA's New LMS

This document provides AHIMA's online education users with information concerning how to access AHIMA's new learning management system (LMS) as well as how to execute a course and gain access to reports and certificates on the system. This document shows the processes using a particular course, Coding Proficiency Asmt: Hospital Inpatient as an example. All courses provided on the LMS will follow the same basic processes, although depending on the type of course some of the specific instructions as well as the data and reports provided may vary slightly.

Overview

AHIMA's new LMS is named the AHIMA Academy. Courses will be provided in subacademies on the LMS known as AHIMA Academies. Please see screen 1 on the next page for a list of the Academies.

Each Academy will house courses that are appropriate for that Academy. For example, the course that is being used to outline this process, Coding Proficiency Asmt: Hospital Inpatient Assessment, is in the Coding Academy.

Over time, as appropriate, new Academies will be added to this list, and new courses will be added to each Academy.

With the implementation of this new LMS, the process to access and execute AHIMA's courses and assessments has changed. Part of the change resulted in AHIMA integrating the LMS sign-on process into AHIMA's association management system (AMS). As will be shown, this will require that all users of the LMS be registered on AHIMA's AMS. In most instances, the user will already be registered because they have used AHIMA's AMS to either become a member of AHIMA or make a previous purchase from AHIMA. For situations where this is not the case, the registration process is outlined in this document.

Course Set Up

For courses purchased from AHIMA on or after 1/5/2015, users will be automatically set up on the new LMS as part of the purchase process. The purchase will require the user to be registered in the AMS, so when accessing the course(s), the user should already have an AHIMA 7-digit ID and email registered with AHIMA.

As each course will have a time frame associated with it, the course start date will not occur until the course is opened by the user. This will allow the user to purchase multiple courses at one time, without having to worry about them all starting at the same time.

For courses that have been previously purchased via the existing LMS, one of three things will occur:

? If the course has been started, but not completed the user will complete the course on the present LMS. They will need to complete the course by XX/XX/XX.

? If the course has not been started, it will be automatically moved to the new LMS and as of 1/5/2015, the user will be able to access it in that system.

? If the course has been started and completed, neither the course nor any data or information associated with the course will be moved to the new LMS. o It is highly recommended that users print and store any data or information on the old LMS they want to retain for their records.

Step-by-Step Process

The process to access and execute courses is provided here using screenshots to depict each step. The step-by-step process outlined here will attempt to cover every contingency that could be encountered in the access and execution of the course.

Screen 2

Screen 2 is the landing page for the AHIMA Academy--it is accessed by opening any web browser and navigating to academy..

Once at academy., the user will need to click the Log In/Register link in the upper-right corner of the page. Clicking this link will take the user to screen 3, which is the single sign-on screen shared by the AMS and LMS.

Screens 3, 4, 5, and 6

Note: AHIMA has integrated its new LMS with its existing AMS via a single sign-on process. What this means is that users will need to be registered on AHIMA's AMS system in order to access the course. This does not mean the user must be an AHIMA member. This screen will give the user the options to:

A. Log in if they know either their 7-digit AHIMA ID or the email they registered with, and their password

B. Reset their password C. Register on AHIMA's AMS system, if not previously registered (This does not require that the

user become a member of AHIMA.) D. Request customer support

If none of these options are sufficient, the user should contact AHIMA's Customer Relations group at 800-335-5535 and explain that they are having difficulty with the single sign-on process. Customer Relations will be able to help determine if the user is previously registered with AHIMA and provide the 7-digit AHIMA ID if that is the case.

? Once on screen 3, for case A o The user will enter either their 7-digit AHIMA ID number or the e-mail address they have registered with AHIMA, as well as their password. o Once they have entered this information this will take them to screen 12, which is the home page of the LMS. There they will be able to initiate and take the course(s) they have purchased from AHIMA.

? If the user cannot remember their password (case B), they can click the Reset Password link. This will take them to screen 4 where they can follow the process outlined to get a new password. o As long as they enter an email address that is registered, after they click on Send Reset Password, they will get a notification that the request was received (screen 5). o They will then be sent an email from the info@ address that will provide them with password reset link (screen 6).
