Personalised Employee Learning

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Have you ever had to roll out a new system and not had the training material ready? Good training material takes time, particularly if you need to cut it from scratch. Well life on the e-learning plains is getting easier. The new kids on the block in the e-learning space are Learning Pathways and Viva Learning – both from Microsoft. The former is free, whilst the later costs next to nix.

Learning Pathways provides pre-cut Microsoft training material delivered as a SharePoint app. The beauty of this approach is that you can create learning pathways and material of your own and combine it with the Microsoft base. For example, you can take a standard Microsoft guide on using Teams, add your own corporate terminology and references, and bundle it back into the app. The Microsoft content is updated regularly and deployed though a github repo. Want to check it out now? Go ahead and deploy it straight from the SharePoint Look Book into your own tenant!

Viva Learning can be configured to target specific items in Learning Pathways to specific employees. It can also consume material from other e-learning content providers and track employee progress. It’s not an LMS, but sometimes an LMS is just overbaking e-learning. Take a look at this guided simulation – it’s pretty cool – but, remember, I don’t get out much…

And if all of this way too overwhelming, just remember those wise words from those other New Kids on the Block – ‘step by step’.

Using AI to classify records and entering the workplace metaverse

If we could only get people to classify their records properly? You can hear this cry from Information Managers across the state. We love to create, but us humans aren’t so good at classifying things. Our interpretations, cultures and biases result in wild variation. It’s a tough job to be an Information Manager squeezed between […]

Click here to subscribe! Reliable printing from anywhere is something that Microsoft’s Universal Print aspires to. On the whole, it’s a good printing solution for distributed workforces. In a Universal Print world, there are no on-premises print servers – which I really like. My view is that there should be no on-premises infrastructure – other than network […]

Simplifying Security With Microsoft

Following on from my email last week, I wanted to describe how you can build a complete Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution completely with Microsoft offerings. My philosophy is two-fold: 1) make the most of the Microsoft 365 licencing you already have and, 2) remove much of the third-party security infrastructure you have that […]

Hassle Free Data Migration 📂↗️☁️

Whilst working at a Water Corporation a while back, I had to migrate 250k records from Records Manager to Content Manager 9. The documents themselves were straightforward, but the transformations of the related metadata were extreme (including nested lists). I used Power Query for this and although good for understanding data quality, it was very manual […]
