Integrating Your LMS With Microsoft Teams

A Microsoft Teams Integration How it can benefit a learning management system.

The LMS & Microsoft Teams A learning management system houses learning data while Microsoft Teams is basically a communication hub. Combining the two utilises the power of convenience.

Why do they work together?

Both seek to increase productivity and engagement – meaning an integration between the two makes a learning tool that empowers workforce activities.

Why integrate?

Teams is not a replacement for an LMS, nor is an LMS a replacement for everyday communication channels. But together, they consolidate learning, learning for work and work all in one place – blending learning with the daily flow of work.

Advantages of a Teams-LMS Integration

Content Discovery Finding the right learning content in a sea of thousands of offerings can be a challenge. With the integration, Teams can introduce a chatbot which, when asked for recommendations, will offer the most suitable results.

Accessibility The harder it is to access coursework; the more likely people will procrastinate doing it or just forget about it. Being able to undertake and complete courses within Teams makes them all the more engaging.

Collaboration Since it’s already used for collaboration, Teams is in a prime position to utilise social learning. With the integration, users can talk about what they’re studying as learning is now learning in a place where they’re already talking.

Who Does The Integration Benefit?

Benefits for Learners • Provides accessible and personalised opportunities for development.

• Removes real-life obstacles to learning.

• Makes an existing system more meaningful rather than introducing another one.

Benefits for Administrators • Gifts them one hub to monitor everything.

• Simplifies peripheral processes admin manage around learning by putting it all in the one space they’re using every day.
