# Introduction

Welcome to the IDEALS Login Guide.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for logging into the IDEALS Portal and accessing connected systems, including LDS (Learning Design Studio) and iLAP-IDEALS.

Currently, the IDEALS Portal is the official platform for single sign-on (SSO) into all IDEALS sub-systems: Learning Design Studio (LDS) and iLAP-IDEALS.
