1. Educational Platform Transforms Office 365 into a Learning Management System for Any School
“Office 365 offers schools a great set of tools and resources. LP+365, built on Office 365 and Azure, enables schools to access the most relevant tools for education organized by class and subject sites with only 15 minutes of training.” – Mehool Sanghrajka, CEO, Learning Possibilities
SITUATION
Microsoft Office 365 is free for education, offering an expansive set of tools and resources that schools may not be able to offer. It is a scalable and secure solution providing tools necessary for employability. Schools, however, do not have the time nor expertise to understand which tools work best in an educational context and can find the administrative side too complex.
