Instructor Resources

Instructor training materials include suggestions for using the AHIMA VLab® in the HIM curriculum. AHIMA VLab® staff is available for training assistance and consultation.

  • When AHIMA transitioned from Engage to Access, all instructor resources were integrated directly into the Learning Management System (LMS).
  • Instructor resources that were previously housed on Engage can now be accessed directly within AHIMA VLab®—no additional platforms are required. To locate them, select the Instructor Resources tile from the AHIMA VLab® homepage, or navigate to the bottom of the left-hand navigation pane within any other content area. As with the Engage platform, resources and answer keys are organized into application-specific folders and subfolders for ease of use.
    Please note: only users who have redeemed an Instructor Enrollment Code will be able to view the Instructor Resource area and its content. This content is hidden from students, as indicated by the “hidden” symbol (an eye with a line through it).
  • Lessons include step-by-step procedures for using the application, including login instructions for the application. Resources are available in a variety of formats, including audio webcasts/demos, simulations, and text documents with step-by-step procedures for using the live applications.
  • Instructors can customize the materials for their own use, making them available to their students by incorporating them into learning management systems, or distributing by e-mail or printed form.
  • Instructors at a subscribing school that do not have access to the AHIMA VLab® Instructors’ Engage community can submit a customer support request for assistance by email academyhelp@ahima.org.
