Learning Management System
As you may have seen, the Learning Management System has experienced some major problems in July and August, and is no longer available. Thanks to colleagues in CiCS, we have a new temporary system, accessible from the link on the right, which you can use to book on courses in our September to December term, and also for courses provided by CiCS and Student Services.
How to use the interim LMS
Once you’re in the interim LMS, you will be presented with a list of courses. These courses are arranged alphabetically in categories, which are listed in the red box on the left of the screen. You can scroll through the whole list, or click on a category in the red box to jump to a specific category.
Within each course, click ‘more info’ to find out additional details and enrol on a session. If there are no places remaining on a session you will be able to click the ‘join waiting list’ option and you will be contacted when a space becomes available. You may cancel your enrolment or leave the waiting list at any time.
If the waiting list is full, you can express an interest in a course. This will not guarantee you a place on a future course, but it will help us with planning what courses to offer in future.
Further information
If you require information on courses that you are already booked on, or are interested in attending, please contact:

The future
This system is being used as a temporary solution to the problems with the previous system. A project is ongoing to consider the need for a more permanent system.
Please rest assured that details of courses that you have already attended has not been lost, although at present it cannot be accessed from the LMS. If you need this information, please contact the Staff Development team directly on extension 21478 or by email at staffdevelopment@sheffield.ac.uk.
