***Single Sign On***
We're kicking those sign in troubles out the door and welcoming in the days of smooth access. For those of you with an @KingCounty.gov email address, we're delighted to announce that single sign on is now available.

If your default browser is Chrome (or something else) or if you're not connected to the network, you'll get a sign in screen. It's easy: use your @KingCounty.gov email address and password.

Simplified Access to Resources You Want
Common challenges we heard were that you didn't know what to do when you landed on the home page of the portal or that you were overwhelmed by the number of resources returned from searches.
To help with these issues, we've added curated collections on the home page. These collections give you easy access to some valuable content. They were determined based on input we received from you, our King County learning community.
Smart, New Content
We're super happy to feature 100s of new resources for you to explore in your learning adventures.
The courses are short; many are 30 minutes or fewer.
They feature a modern style with lots of videos and greater diversity.
New course series make it easy to follow a learning path for a particular topic.
