School Year Online Course Information

See your course syllabus for any additional software requirements specific to your online course.

It is essential that you view these items and learn to complete these tasks on the device you intend to use for your Online Campus course.
You should know how to do the following on your computer:

• Create a new folder on a PC or on a MAC
• Save a file on a PC or a MAC
• Cut, copy and paste on a PC or on a MAC
• Find a lost file on a PC hard drive or on a MAC
• Download a file in Chrome (Video)
• Send and receive email, with screenshots if needed, in Outlook or Gmail. Your FCPS Google account has a screenshot add-on.
  If you are using a PC, you can use Microsoft Snip & Sketch (Video).
• Use an Internet browser to search for information on the Web
• View audio and video files

Your online course is located in FCPS Schoology Learning Management System (LMS). The course will not be available until your Online Campus teacher has contacted you.

In order for you to log on to your online course, you need to have an FCPS user id and password.

• FCPS students: your User ID is your student ID, and the password is the one used during the preceding school year.
• For non-FCPS students: once your registration has processed and courses have been created in the FCPS Student Information System, a student ID will be issued to you. Your teacher will be able to provide this when s/he contacts you prior to the start of the course. Be sure to respond to your teacher's email, request your Student ID, and confirm your FCPS Schoology LMS access as soon as you receive that initial teacher email.

To access the FCPS Schoology LMS, log in at https://lms.fcps.edu/.

All FCPS Schoology LMS accounts are linked to students' FCPS network account.

• To change your FCPS password, go to Student Password Change
• To reset a forgotten password, go to Student Password Recovery
• If you are still having trouble with your account, contact the Online Campus via email and provide your Name and Student ID# along with a request to reset your password.

Preferred Browser for the Schoology LMS: Google Chrome is the recommended browser for use with the FCPS Schoology LMS. If you encounter a problem using one browser, try another browser to see if the error is browser-related.

Many Online Campus courses use the FCPS Google Accounts for Education.

For both FCPS students and non-FCPS students, your FCPS Google Account for Education uses the same userid (student id) and password as your network account for the FCPS Schoology LMS.

• To change your FCPS password, go to Student Password Change
• To reset a forgotten password, go to Student Password Recovery
• If you are still having trouble with your account, contact the Online Campus via email and provide your Name and Student ID# along with a request to reset your password.

Email is the main way that teachers will communicate with students and parents. All FCPS communications with students will default to the student's @fcpsschools.net email address. This is the preferred communication method for securing student safety. Students are required to check their @fcpsschools.net email address daily.

• You must know how to check and send emails, as well as how to save attachments.
• You will need to check your email account multiple times during the day.
• You will not submit work through email, as all work is submitted directly through the FCPS Schoology LMS course.
