Litmos Learning Management System

As part of the Academy, you will be given access to the i-Tree Academy Learning Management System (LMS), which will provide an opportunity to explore i-Tree programs at your own pace, anytime. The LMS is still in its final testing stage, so any input that you provide to us is welcome. . In order to get started with Litmos, you will receive log-in credentials for the Litmos LMS from Regreen Springfield, one of our i-Tree partners. For most of you, your User Name is the first initial of your first name, followed by your last name; all in lower case. So, Mickey Mouse’s credentials follow here – User Name: mmouse Your password is you last name followed by the number (1), all in lower case.
