As I meet with customers looking to roll out various services for Office 365 as well as for other systems internally the need for training and preparedness has come up time and time again. Organizations in Healthcare and Life Sciences want to be able to leverage canned training as a basis as well as custom training for their organization.

In this HLS Show Me How I walk through the provisioning of a Custom Learning site in SharePoint Online as well as how to customize what canned content can be made available. I also briefly discuss how the site can be readily extended to accommodate custom content for an organization. Not only can this custom content be Office 365 focused but the solution can be used as a basis for all such training across other Microsoft and non-Microsoft services and software.

Just as an FYI - I was having a hard time getting this to work, because I didn't have a GitHub account associated with my tenant administrator account.  Once I created the GitHub account and tried again - it worked.

@Carol DeMuth glad to hear you got it working. I didnt have an admin account associated with GitHub either but still worked. Maybe just a glitch in sys itself when pulling first time? Whatever the case glad to hear you it working and hope you enjoy working with the solution. 

Thanks for putting this together @Mike Gannotti

I've attempted to follow your directions, however, when I get to the template/demo site, I notice I'm not signed in, despite I'm signed into the O365 tenant that I want to use. I have full access to O365 and SharePoint, and I've also tried just going to the "Solutions" tab and then proceeding from there, but again I run into a wall with account authentication.  I have MFA enabled, do I need to disable it before attempting?  

For what it's worth, here's the article I wrote on CMSWire on Microsoft's Learning Pathways (the new name for Custom Learning):

@Scott Johnson Two quick things on that. One you MUST be signed in as domain admin to Office 365 (have it open). Then in same browser go to the solution and yes, it will not have you signed in so you must select sign in and then use same credentials.

@Asif Rehmani Just saw the article. Loved your emphasis on regularly having a plan for iterative applicable content and leveraging Hub sites. Nice post https://www.cmswire.com/digital-workplace/jumpstart-office-365-user-adoption-with-microsofts-learnin... 

@Mike Gannotti Thanks for the kind feedback. 

 

On a side note, not sure if you have seen what we are doing in partnership with Microsoft Learning Pathways... we are delivering All Microsoft Learning Pathways content in context of a user's Office 365 environment to facilitate easy discovery. All for free of course.
