In January 2014 selected users of My Learning had early access to our full integration suite for Office 365. We listened to early feedback and after a week of public release we are now pleased to launch the first edition of our new integration tool for Office 365.
What is does:
- It gives individual users access to their Office 365 files (directly within My Learning)
- It allows users to create shortcuts to their Office 365 files within Classes and Learning Spaces.
- You can add our new Office 365 dashboard panel.
- See previews of your emails in the dashboard tool.
- See previews of your upcoming calendar items using the dashboard.
- Connect and re-connect to your Office 365 when you need to.
- Completely integrated single-sign-on. Login once, and then no more logins and passwords.
- Multi device - works on PC, Smartphone and Tablet
- Access all of your Office 365 documents and files directly.
Upcoming features in version 2:
In the next edition of the integration, users will be able to...
- Customise the behaviour and properties of their Office 365 dashboard.
- Email preview and calendar preview will become separate dashboard panels.
- First version of the ability to select daily, weekly or monthly calendar views.
Remember, that all users of My Learning have been able to access their OneDrive (ex-SkyDrive) web drives since August 2013, so if you have these free services such as GoogleDrive and Dropbox - you can use these too.
Existing users of My Learning have access to our Skills Hub - packed with tutorial video's. Within the next few days, you'll have access to the 4 click process of accessing your Office 365 suite.
