.
Microsoft 365 learning pathways delivers on three key customer asks:

- Customizable experience to allow including customer content
- Open ecosystem to integrate Microsoft Partner content
“Building the digital skills of employees in bite sized ways is critical to adoption. Without that, users are left frustrated with the pace of change and trying to navigate all the new capabilities we’re delivering.” said Karuana Gatimu, Principal Manager in Microsoft Teams engineering and lead of teamwork integrations for the solution. “This is especially true in Microsoft Teams so we are happy to respond to the needs of customers.” To help users even more we are releasing our Get Started app template which brings all the power of Microsoft 365 learning pathways inside of Microsoft Teams. This customizable app template allows a company to pin important intranet sites directly inside of Teams including the learning pathways solution.
This low-code solution is easily edited by an IT Pro and our ecosystem of Microsoft Partners can extend this further. Mike Hollinshead, Principle Program Manager in SharePoint Engineering and lead of the Microsoft 365 learning pathways partner program shares that, “Our Partners are critical in ensuring customers get the right onboarding experience and further develop content that is specific to their needs. By enabling their additional content sets in Microsoft 365 learning pathways we improve the learning experience by ensuring customers can use the right content at the right time.” Our code is available on GitHub and utilizes the popular SharePoint look book and SharePoint Patterns and Practice provisioning engine to further partner and developer integrations with the solution. See these partner success stores on our main solution page.
Learning experiences in Microsoft Teams will continue to evolve as the Microsoft Learning app makes it way into the hands of customers. These two solutions will complement each other delivering content from different sources and leverage each other’s strengths as the future roadmap for both are refined. Details about our future roadmaps will be released in subsequent blog posts.
