FAQ

How do I know if I have courses assigned to me?

The "My Learning" widget will appear on the home page of the portal. This widget will inform you as to the number of courses currently assigned, but not yet completed.

Alternatively, assigned courses can be found by clicking the "My Learning" section of the menu on the right.

When will I be invited into my courses?

When the LMS goes live, everyone who has required training will receive them immediately.  Staff hired from 1/1/22 forward will receive the New Hires Training Series.  Staff hired prior to 1/1/22 will receive the Annual Training Series.  Brokers and Family will receive the EVV and/or Sexual Harassment training as required.  Please refer to the chart above for clarification on which groups of users are assigned to which courses.

Remember, you will not receive an email invitation to take your courses or lessons.  The My Learning widget on your Portal's home page will notify you if you have pending courses waiting.

Please note that only the title, description, completion status and due dates can be seen from the My Staff Learning page. 


How can I see courses that my support staff are assigned?

To see the content of the courses that are assigned to your support staff, log into the portal and select "My Learning" from the menu in order to navigate to the Learning Management System. 

Once in the LMS, a tab titled "Optional" will appear. The courses in this section are the courses that are currently assigned to the support staff.

Please note that by default, courses assigned to support staff will not be available to view in the My Learning page for circle of support members. This feature must be enabled by internal ISS staff. If you would like to see the content of the courses assigned to support staff, please contact ISS to have this enabled for your account. The included screenshots serve as examples only.  You will see the actual courses assigned specifically to you.


How do I submit my hours for training?

In eTime, start a non-face-to-face ComHab shift for the participant you work the most weekly hours with. Let the shift run while you are completing the course and when you are done with training, end the shift. At the submission page, select “Training” as the staff activity and the reason can be whatever the training was (ex. Staff Action Plan, Annual, etc.)

If you have already completed your training and need to submit your time, you will need to submit a forgotten shift using the details above as shift information. (https://help.issny.org/books/etime/page/creating-and-submitting-a-forgotten-shift).

If a staff member is completing their online training while another staff is actively working a shift, it is going to be flagged as an overlap, but this is 100% acceptable. Medicaid requires that all time overlaps have to be approved by the COS. The COS can approve the overlap and when they are required to give a reason, they can say something along the lines of "Staff completed non-face to face training".


I have multiple roles, what about duplicated courses or lessons?

For users that have multiple roles with ISS such as Support Staff, Brokers, and/or Family members, you will be assigned each course and/or lesson as required.  If the lessons are exactly the same, the LMS will know when you have completed one and will not require you to take the same again for another role.
