ALEC is a learning management system (powered by Moodle) and customized for employees
and students in Academy District 20. Access to ALEC is available from any device that is

If you have an older brother/sister in D20, he or she can probably show you how to use ALEC, as they have probably
taken ALEC courses before. If all else fails, no worries. Find Mrs. Edgar or Ms. Smith and we can show
you how to access and use ALEC!
