Clever is a startup that launched in June of 2012. Its product by the same name is a platform that helps third party developers integrate school data with their apps. Clever recently announced instant login as its latest feature, which means educators and students can easily organize and access all of the applications and digital resources they need for the classroom via a single login and password.

Highlight by Education Elements

Highlight is a personalized learning platform. In addition to offering data analytics tools and access to standards-aligned educational resources, Highlight also offers single sign on integration with a number of digital content providers. Apex Learning, gooru, Mastery Connect, Pearson and Schoology are just a few of the providers whose tools can be integrated with the Education Elements platform.

K12itc

K12itc provides custom technology solutions to K-12 schools including hosted single sign-on. Users can access a number of account logins with a single username and password, mitigating the risk of forgotten login info and wasted instructional time.

LaunchPad by Classlink

LaunchPad is a personalized cloud desktop that allows you to access apps, files and class materials from any device. The “My Apps” screen allows you to create links to all of your applications that automatically launch and sign you in for easy access. The platform also provides tools for collaboration.

OmnID by NetProf, Inc.

OmnID is designed for use in a BYOD or 1:1 environment to provide identity management and single sign-on for K-12.

With the number of digital and online learning tools growing in K-12, it’s no surprise that the need for usernames and passwords is growing too. Each app or learning resource comes with its own set of login instructions. One password might require a capital letter and a special character. Another might need at least one number and almost all logins are case sensitive. So what does that mean in the classroom?

It means, teachers are likely spending a lot more time than necessary helping students log in or reset their passwords. Even if students do manage to keep all of their info straight, it’s still a pain to have to log in to each application separately. That takes time and if there is one thing classroom teacher’s don’t have a lot of it’s that.

A number of companies have begun to market single sign-on solutions that allow students to use one login to access all of their digital learning tools. With many of these software platforms, identity access management goes hand-in-hand with single sign-on, making security a lot easier for K-12 technology professionals tasked with access management. This ensures the right people have the appropriate access to the right digital tools.

This slideshow consists of 6 single sign-on solutions perfect for any mobile learning environment.
