Districtwide Compliance Courses
-
Employees only see the districtwide compliance courses that they are required to take. This will vary for each employee based on the courses they have previously completed and the retraining requirements for each course. Email notifications come from hisdlearningsf-do-not-reply@houstonisd.org.
Employees will be automatically enrolled in the online compliance courses. Employees will be assigned a curriculum based on their job location. Go to OneSourceMe --> My Learning to see your Learning Assignments.
Target Completion Date(s) for compliance courses is 30-45 days from the date of assignment to the employee.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I've completed a course and received my certificate, but it still shows in My Curricula.
Certain courses, such as Employee Safety, Ethics, and Appropriate Workplace Behavior, are required to be retaken on a fixed schedule and will not drop off of a Curriculum when completed. Instead what you are seeing is a RETRAIN due date for the future indicating when you will be required to take the course again for retraining requirements.
If you go back to the OneSourceMe Learning home page, you’ll notice the course has dropped off your active Learning Assignments. You should also see your recent completion in your Learning History.
-
How can I check the details of my Curriculum Requirements?
A new My Curricula tile has been added to the OneSourceMe Learning home page of all users.
If the circle is GREEN, you are currently in compliance, but may have courses coming due soon.
If the circle is RED, you are out of compliance and have courses that are past their due date.
Click on the circle in the My Curricula tile to see a list of all curricula that are assigned to you. The third column Next Action Date will show you when the next item in that curriculum is due. Any items due more than 90 days in the future will not show up in your Learning Assignments course list.
To gain detailed information on your curriculum, click on the Curriculum Title to get to the Curriculum Details Page. You can view the due dates of any courses you have yet to complete, those you will need to retrain on in the future, and can use the Start Course button to get an early start on any courses due more than 90 days in the future.
-
I got an email saying I was assigned a course, but when I log into the system, I don't see it.
Certain compliance courses only need to be completed once, so you most likely received credit for the course from a prior completion and you don't have to take it again. You can verify this in your Learning History. Any courses where you received credit via a prior completion should show in your transcript with the completion status of "Online Substitution."
-
I wasn't assigned a Curriculum. What should I do?
Please open a Service Desk ticket by emailing servicedesk@houstonisd.org.
-
I was assigned the wrong curriculum. What should I do?
Please open a Service Desk ticket by emailing servicedesk@houstonisd.org. In your message, include the curriculum or courses you think you should have been assigned.
-
How can I get courses I’m supposed to be exempt from removed from my list?
Please open a Service Desk ticket by emailing servicedesk@houstonisd.org. Make sure to include that you are a facilities employee who should be exempt and which courses you are seeing that should be removed.
-
What happens when a new course is added to a curriculum?
When a new course is added to your curriculum, you will be given a grace period to allow you to complete the course without it negatively impacting your compliance status. Once the grace period is up, the My Curriclua tile will reflect the ongoing status of your curricula in real-time. Is if you didn't complete it on time, your tile will show red.
The launch of new courses in curricula will be communicated via ASMs and other distribution channels. You should also get a notification from OneSource.
-
How can I review the content for compliance courses I’ve completed in the past?
You can use the Review Content link from your Learning History to review previously completed content. Watch a video demonstrating how to do this.
