These professional development opportunities are available to any educator with an active Ohio, prekindergarten - 12, Department-issued license or permit or who has submitted an application for a State of Ohio education credential and fully set-up their OH|ID account*.
how do educators register?
To register and access these online courses, follow the three steps below.
- Go to education.ohio.gov and select 'login' at the top of the homepage.
- Sign with your OH|ID or MyOhio account.
- Find and click on the Learning Management System application; no additional passwords are required.*
After opening the LMS application through your OH|ID account, use the Course Catalog link found on your LMS homepage to browse and register for courses. (Alternatively, you may also access your OH|ID account here.)
*If the learning management system application is not an available application in your OH|ID account and you have an active license or have submitted your application for a license, please be sure you have completed the steps to fully connect your account to all education applications:
To fully connect your OH|ID account, you must log in to the OH|ID portal and select and complete the Educator Licensure and Records (CORE) Set-up. You will need to follow the directions provided by that application to fully set up your OH|ID account and connect it to education applications within the OH|ID portal. It is possible it will connect immediately, and you will then be able to scroll through the applications under your “Dashboard” to find the Learning Management System or it can take up to 24 hours to connect.
If you have fully set up your OH|ID account, waited 24 hours, and met all the above criteria and still do not see the LMS application, then you will need to reach out to OH|ID Portal support as the LMS Team does not have access to that system. Their contact information is: Profile.Help@education.ohio.gov or 1-877-644-6338
