Goodbye SkillSoft, Hello Percepio!
SkillSoft has a new learning platform named Percepio. Maryland libraries will be migrating to it when they add the features we need so probably early 2022.
Maryland State Library will continue to make SkillSoft available for all Maryland public library staff until June 30, 2022. Please complete all courses in Skillsoft and print your certificates prior to this cutoff date. We will not have access to any of the completion data or certificates after June 30.
The new Percepio site will continue to provide completion certificates for new completed courses, and staff will be able to self-register so once the program is available you can sign up at your convenience and don't have to go through SD&T. The SkillSoft logins will not transfer to the new site, so you will have to reregister once the site is available.
More details will be shared about the new site soon.
