Learning Management System (LMS)

Open LMS is the learning management system (LMS) used by Mitchell Community College. It is built on the Moodle platform and it is used as the primary delivery method for courses with online content. All curriculum courses at Mitchell Community College have a designated space on the LMS.

For all courses, instructors must include their contact information, syllabus, and schedule in the LMS. Instructors must also use the gradebook for recording grades. Instructors of seated classes may use their LMS course site to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom setting.

For hybrid and hyflex courses, the majority of instruction and class assignments will occur within the LMS. It is imperative for you, as a student, to check course content within the LMS regularly.

All students must complete a Mandatory Completion Enrollment Activity (MCEA) in the LMS. For courses with an online component, the MCEA must be completed before the census date of the course for you to stay enrolled in the course.

The learning management system (LMS) requires students to be authenticated using their Mitchell Community College Microsoft 365 username and student-managed password in order to securely log in and gain access to their online course(s).

As stated above, your LMS username and password will be the same as your Mitchell Microsoft 365 account. It is important to be able to log into your Mitchell Microsoft 365 account before attempting to log into the LMS.

NOTE: If you do not have a Mitchell Office 365 email address, you will log in to the LMS by entering your username and password in the fields under the Mitchell Community College logo.
