Setup GMetrix SMS and OnlineExpert LMS

Symptoms

An OnlineExpert LMS user needs to set up the GMetrix SMS for courses that utilize the GMetrix SMS for labs and assessments.

Detailed Information

Some of our courses, including Microsoft Office and Adobe CC, require the use of the GMetrix SMS. These courses interact with the GMetrix SMS program and the course-appropriate version of Microsoft Office and Adobe CC for interactive labs and assessments.

Solution

If you are taking a Microsoft Office course, ensure you have the course-appropriate version of Microsoft Office (Install Office) installed on your Windows-based computer. You can check your installed version of Microsoft Office using the instructions found on this page: Office Version.

If you are taking an Adobe CC course, ensure you have the course-appropriate version of Adobe CC (Install Adobe CC) installed on your computer. You can check your installed version of Adobe CC using the instructions found on this page: Adobe CC Version.
