Hello my Friends... Spring is here in Seattle and are looking forward to our Champion's calls today at 8am and 5pm PST.  As always our links for the calls are the same:

 

https://aka.ms/O365ChampsCallAM for the 8am PST call

https://aka.ms/O365ChampsCallPM for the 5pm PST call

 

This month we'll be discussing the new Training for Office 365 including the Custom Learning site template which was just published.  Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Hi there Karuana_Gatimu_MSFT 

     

    Is there somewhere I can sign up for notifications about these meetings, and have them scheduled in my diary without having to check the Champions Corner each month? 

     

    Thanks, Tristram

    (P.S. I am in Brisbane, Australia, so may have to watch replays, but it would be good to have reminder in my calendar!)

    Hi Karuana_Gatimu_MSFT This Champions page does not seem to be very regularly active-is there a more active page I can direct my Champions to so that they can keep up to date with the Champions calls and other new resources being posted?

    Thanks, Louise

        Luna JernbergThanks so much. I had that

        date but as the last post here was in March I wondered if it had moved to a different platform?

    After registering on the Champions Program, a link to join a LinkedIn group for Champions is displayed. Upon clicking that link, it takes user to an error page. How can a Champion join this LinkedIn group? Can you please share a direct link to this LinkedIn group?

    Karuana - do we need to have all Modern SP sites in order to use the Custom Learning site template? I thought it was only if you were installing the website and you're installing the whole site you can be in Classic. 

     

    Has anyone installed it yet?

      karenwI tried to install it, but it failed the first time, i tried again and it worked. It is a Modern site.  The instructions state " Help your organization get more from Microsoft services by implementing Custom Learning for Office 365. This digital, customizable, learning solution streams on-demand content for Office 365 services to your end users. The convenient playlist format allows employees to improve their skills on their timetable and at their pace. The modern SharePoint Online site also allows you to add your own content to create a complete modern training portal."

      More details are at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/customlearning/

        Dean_Gross Thanks Dean.  I got the site installed and it worked fine in our environment.  My question was regarding classic vs modern sites - our SharePoint intranet is created in classic and a couple of people had told me we couldn't install the Custom Learning site unless we converted to modern, which isn't the case. Right now I'm customizing it and just about ready to launch!
