Enhance your collaboration skills with Microsoft 365 (Teams) training
12 Aug 2021
A new series of Microsoft 365 (MS365) online training sessions aims to help colleagues understand key features and share best practice to enhance communications and collaboration for the new academic year.
This new training series will provide you with the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the MS365 ecosystem and how to use its tools. MS365 (previously known as Microsoft Office) includes: Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Office, accessibility features (such as transcription, dictation and immersive reader), and a variety of other applications.
The series will start with ‘Welcome to MS365’ on Monday 23 August, and will be repeated on Thursday 23 September. There will be two sessions each day to choose from – 10am and 2pm. The sessions will be run by learning consultants from Hable, our training delivery partner and certified Microsoft experts.
‘Welcome to MS365’
During the one hour live session, you will learn how to:
- use the core MS365 applications,
- store and access files,
- work in the cloud to enhance your collaboration and communication,
- use accessibility and inclusivity features.
Isabel Dobson, Hable Learning Consultant, will deliver the session. You’ll be shown how MS365 can support your collaborations by providing the latest integrated video calling, instant messaging and file sharing facilities, all in one place. There will be time after the session to ask questions and explore content with Isabel.
