You may access the KDS Classroom 24/7 by going to www.kdsi.org and clicking on the Classroom Login button, launching the login page where you may enter your access information.

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

Each lecture is ninety (90) minutes long and includes relevant questions based on the lecture (free response & multiple-choice). Additional assignments may be required, depending on the program enrolled. This would depend on what type of credit you need. If you cannot view a lecture in one-sitting, make sure to log off so that your progress will be saved.

You need a computer and a broadband internet connection. For slower internet connections, audio lectures are available in place of video. The lectures are "streamed" — not downloaded — and do not require memory on the hard drive or a long wait time to load.
