Course Length: 1-day
Course Overview
This course is an introduction to Microsoft® 365 Office for the Web with Teams® in a cloud-based environment. It can be used as an orientation to the full suite of Microsoft 365 cloud-based tools, or the Teams lessons can be presented separately in a seminar-length presentation with the remaining material available for later student reference.
Using the Microsoft 365 suite of productivity apps, users can easily communicate and collaborate together through Microsoft® Outlook® mail and Teams® messaging and meeting functionality. Additionally, the Microsoft® SharePoint® team site provides a central storage location for accessing and modifying shared documents. This course introduces working with shared documents in the familiar Microsoft 365 web apps—Word, PowerPoint®, and Excel®—as an alternative to installing the Microsoft® Office desktop applications.
