Getting Started Guide

Accessing and Using the KDS eClassroom

You may access the KDS eClassroom 24/7 by visiting www.kdsi.org and clicking the Classroom Login button (located in the upper right-hand corner of the page), which will launch a page where you may enter your access information.

For security reasons, you may not login from two computers at the same time, you must first log off one computer before accessing the course from a different computer.

Each lecture is 90 minutes long and includes questions based on the lecture (multiple-choice and free response). Depending on the program, additional assignments may be required. If you cannot view a lecture in one sitting, be sure to log off so that your progress will be saved.
