As you are setting up your class, you will be assigning work to your students on Microsoft Learn. Microsoft Learn is a free online learning platform that provides interactive training on Microsoft products and technologies. You and your students can access Microsoft Learn directly. We have provided multiple services for you to use to more effectively leverage this resource in your classroom.

Microsoft provides tools to integrate content from Microsoft Learn into your institution’s Learning Management System (LMS). The Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) application enables institutions to embed modules and pathways from the Microsoft Learn catalog and display them within an institution's LMS (e.g., Blackboard, Canvas and Moodle). Find more information on Microsoft Learn Catalog LTI Provider.

Microsoft Learn / LMS integration benefits:

  • Learn Catalog API: allows you to send a web-based query to Microsoft Learn and retrieve details about published content. It allows blended Learning and LMS Integration. There is more detailed information on Microsoft Learn Catalog API - Blended Learning and LMS Integration.

  • Learn Organization reporting: allows you to pull and report on your students' progress and completion information for Microsoft Learn training content.

  • Learn LMS / LTI application: integrate Microsoft Learn modules and learning paths into curricula and provide hands-on experience with Azure and other Microsoft technologies.

The pathway to LMS integration:

  1. Central IT access LTI source code via GitHub repo

  2. Central IT deploys Learn LTI Application

  3. LMS Admin configures LMS with the deployed Learn LTI Application

  4. Educator adds content from Learn using LTI in Institution LMS

  5. Educators customize deadlines, grading, etc. (optional)
