Microsoft Community Training 6 Week Implementation

Microsoft Community Training (MCT) is an Azure-based learning platform built for organizations to run community learning programs. MCT supports personalized learning at scale with affordable, easy-to-manage technology, limited infrastructure, robust security, and privacy protection.

MCT is not a traditional Learning Management System (LMS), but rather an Azure based Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution focused on delivering curated training at scale to community and citizen learners in low connectivity areas, while providing administrative capabilities and a low-cost solution for the organization.

Wipfli believes that the focus on low connectivity/offline functionality, optimization for mobile devices, and scale deployment distinguishes MCT from other learning platforms. The platform's ease of use and deployment, multiple authentication support, and consumption-only pricing model make MCT an attractive solution for organizations seeing a low-cost learning solution that can be deployed rapidly.

• Set up sandbox MCT portal to promote exploration and experimentation
