First-Time Guide

1. Before You Can Sign In
   1. To use the OSTIMTECH Learning Management System (LMS), you must have an institutional email (@ostimteknik.edu.tr) provisioned by the Directorate of Information Management.
   2. If you already have one, in the browser you will use for the LMS, go to https://myaccount.microsoft.com and sign in with your @ostimteknik.edu.tr Microsoft account. You cannot access the LMS if another Microsoft account is active in that browser session. During this process, you will use your institutional email password and/or the Microsoft Authenticator app installed on the mobile phone associated with your corporate email. If you are unable to sign in to your Microsoft account with your @ostimteknik.edu.tr address, please contact the Directorate of Information Management.
2. Choose Your Language (Before Sign-In): From the top-right corner of the LMS Home page, select your preferred language.
   
3. Sign in: If your institutional email is ready and you are signed in to your @ostimteknik.edu.tr Microsoft account in this browser, click Sign in (top-right on the Home page), then on the login page click the OpenID Connect icon.
   
4. Update Your Profile: After signing in, on the Dashboard (Control Panel) click the chevron next to your initials (the first letters of your First and Last name, e.g., “AS”) at the top-right, then choose Profile → Edit profile. Add your photo and check your time zone and notification preferences. If you need to change the language later, use the Language option in the same initials menu.
   
5. Find Your Courses: Access your enrolled courses from the menu panel My courses tab, or go to Course categories and search by course code (e.g., CENG 101).
   
   
6. Materials & activities: Follow announcements, weekly content, assignments, and quizzes. Don’t forget to check the Calendar.
