- Microsoft Viva Learning
as part of the Microsoft Viva employee experience platform
brings employee growth and development to the forefront
by integrating enterprise learning
into the tools people already use throughout their workday.
We call this "learning in the flow of work".
By reducing barriers
and simplifying the learning experience,
we're short-cutting your path
to developing a learning culture.
Let's see how this works through the eyes of Megan Bowen,
a manager at Contoso Electronics.
In a Team's chat, Megan's colleague messages the team
about a Power App design request from a client.
To help her team get up to speed on Power Apps,
she uses Viva Learning to search for related content
from the sources available to her at Contoso.
She finds a course from LinkedIn Learning
and adds it to the chat as an embedded card
with a customized message for her team.
With more client requests like this coming in,
Megan decides to add a dedicated learning tab on this topic
to her team's channel.
She clicks the "add" button, selects "Viva Learning"
and searches for a few relevant courses.
She uses the sidebar chat to tag a couple team members.
Now the whole team has a collaborative learning space
they can all contribute to.
It's embedded within the tool
they already use for chatting, meeting and file sharing
so it's easy to access
and seamless to integrate with their existing workflows.
Now Megan visits office.com to catch up on a few items.
Megan wants to update her team on Contoso's approach
to inclusive design at their next meeting,
so she searches for resources to assist.
The learning tab of her search
shows results powered by Viva Learning.
She sees an inclusive leadership course and clicks into it.
This takes Megan to the course details page
in the Viva Learning app for Teams.
Here, she can see additional information
like the course description, length, author, modality,
views, and date last updated.
She can also see related courses.
Megan doesn't have time to take the course now,
so she uses the "add to calender" button
to find time next Friday.
Viva Learning suggests some slots
that provide her enough time to complete the course
and are currently free on her calendar.
She selects one and now has protected time on her calendar
for this learning activity.
This is a simple and powerful tool
to help people prioritize time for learning.
Now it's Friday and time for Megan to take it advantage
of the learning block she booked earlier.
She clicks the course link
from within her Outlook calendar time block.
As content from LinkedIn Learning,
when she clicks to consume,
it plays natively embedded in Teams,
including the ability to navigate between chapters,
change playback speed, add captions and more.
After finishing her course, Megan feels inspired
and decides to recommend this course to her colleague, Diego
based on a recent conversation.
To find her next learning opportunity,
Megan navigates to the Viva Learning home tab.
From here,
she can see content featured by her organization,
a snapshot of her personal learning activity
and content based on her interests.
She decides to add a new interest to her list
and selects diversity and inclusion
to continue her learning journey in this area.
Her core suggestions are now updated
with her newly selected interest.
She also search for content
across all sources available to her in the organization,
whether from a connected learning management system,
third party content provider,
or even her own company's custom content.
She can see a results snapshot from the home tab
or press enter to see a full list of results.
From here, Megan can refine with filters
or bookmark a course directly.
Back on the home tab,
Megan scrolls down to see trending content in the org
and can browse other categories by interest, provider
and duration.
A key icon indicates a subscription is required
in order to consume that content.
She also sees custom content
from her organization's connected SharePoint library.
She bookmarks a course that looks interesting.
Now moving to the, "My Learning" tab.
Megan reviews her personalized learning view.
From this view,
she's reminded of an upcoming assignment
from her organization's
connected learning management system.
She can also see content she's bookmarked,
others have recommended to her,
she's recently viewed or completed.
Finally, Megan navigates to the "Manage" tab
to check the status
on some recommendations she's made to others.
With Viva Learning,
Megan is able to help her team prioritize learning
and help her company build a learning culture.
And she did it all without leaving the collaboration tool
she already uses for everyday work.
It's learning simplified,
and that's how we bring learning into the flow of work
with Microsoft Viva Learning.
