FACTS LMS gives you an opportunity to use the Learning Management System (LMS) to interact with a classroom environment — all via the Internet! Watch a video to get an introduction on Facts LMS here. *The password to access the video is factslms (case-sensitive)

FACTS LMS is a private and secure student area that will allow students to connect with students and teachers online, including accessing class materials, uploading assignments, participating in classroom discussions, and taking quizzes. Watch a video on how to login and use the LMS for students here. *The password to access the video is factslms (also case-sensitive).

To access files, watch videos, and upload or share documents, you must always do the following:

Login to your Student Google Account

• Click the Sign In button at the top, right of the screen.

• Enter your assigned Username@alcs.us + assigned password.

When you are logged in, if you try to click on Gmail, you will see this message because your student Google account is not an email account.

• Notice, you will see your initials (or picture if you have added one to your profile) all the way to the right.
• To the left of that, you will see 9 dots (a “waffle”). It may not seem like you are logged in right away until you click the 9 dots, or “waffle”. This is where you can access the different G Suite programs that are turned on for your account.
  • Start by finding Google Classroom. This is where you will interact with your teachers and classes. You will need to scroll down to find it.
    
  • Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, etc.​​​​​

    

     

Now you are ready to open any files your teacher shares with you!

To switch the active student Google account so another student can work:

• Click the initial at the top, right of the screen.
• Click the other student's name (if they have previously logged in), or click "Add Account" to add a new student account.

  

From the ALCS homepage, at the top or bottom of the page, there is a link to Facts LMS.
