Accessing the resources as a parent
You can access the Learning Commons resources at https://hcs.insigniails.com/LibrarySAML/Home using your Encom login. If you don’t recall your Encom information you can reset your account by clicking here.
For more information on accessing the resources visit our Getting Started page for tutorials on logging in, how to search and more.
Accessing resources as a student
Students are able to access the resources above using their Encom account as well. Students enrolled in online courses can use the same information they use to access Moodle following the steps outlined in our Getting Started video. If they are not in online courses you can visit https://hcos.ca/moodle-setup for steps on creating their account.
If you change your password in Encom it will also change for the Learning Commons.
