Learning Management System User Manual

All Chicago uses an online Learning Management System (LMS) to efficiently handle registration for live training sessions and house a comprehensive collection of training materials. Featuring over 100 recorded and self-paced modules, our LMS is a valuable resource accessible to Chicago CoC members. These on-demand courses serve multiple purposes, including training new staff, facilitating orientation to the Chicago CoC, and enhancing understanding of best practices and program requirements.

Any community member can access the LMS by creating a free account. Once your account is created, the LMS can be used to register for live upcoming webinars, search the course catalog of available trainings, track courses in progress, and download training content and course completion certificates. Use the instructions below to create a new account and learn how to navigate the portal.

CEU Instructions

All Chicago is able to provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for some of the trainings we offer, and eligible courses will indicate how many CEUs can be earned. CEUs will be charged by CE hour. Chicago CoC Members will be charged $10/CE hour and non-CoC Members will be charged $15/CE hour. If interested in receiving CEUs for a training, please email Savannah King at sking@allchicago.org for payment and details.

Access to HMIS Training

HMIS courses are not available from the course catalog. To sign up for HMIS courses, follow the instructions on the HMIS Helpdesk at this link

Attendance Policy

The following is All Chicago’s attendance policy for receiving course completion certificates in the LMS for attending a live webinar version of a training: 

  • You must attend at least 50% of the time of the scheduled training to receive credit for the course in the LMS. For example, if a training is scheduled for 60 minutes, you will need to attend for at least 30 minutes to receive credit and a completion certificate. If you must exit the meeting and come back, any time spent in the meeting will be added together. NOTE: If you are requesting CEUs, you will need to attend the full time to be eligible. 

You will not receive credit for a course if you do not register with your own information and join with the unique link sent to your email. If you attend the training but join using someone else’s link and show up under a different name, you will not receive credit.  

AI Notetakers Policy

If you are attending this training live, please keep in mind that AI notetakers are currently not allowed in All Chicago meetings. Any notetakers that join a live Zoom meeting for training will be removed. If you have questions about content that you missed, please review the training material once it has been posted to the LMS or reach out to us with any questions.
