    An LMS Is So Much More Than A Simple List Of Courses And An Attendee.

    When you consider the Power Platform, you may think it's only suitable for quite simple applications. When you buy off the shelf software (and pay a LOT for it) you do so because you believe you have more complex requirements that mean you need something 'more'. But what if all it takes is a little experimentation and some easy to gain new skills?

    This workshop will prove that you don't need to reach for the finance team immediately when you want to solve a business problem.

    Using our BLUE model (Build it, learn it, Use it, Enhance it), you'll quickly create a cost effective prototype, gain new skills in the Power Platform, be able to take your solution for a test drive in your own time and help make a decision on whether its something you want to enhance further. This investment will pay you back in spades with what you'll learn from the experience.

    Here's what you will build:

    Netflix Inspired Home Screen

    Netflix Inspired Home Screen

    A familiar interface that we are all used to... Easily navigate to your course content, presented in a beautiful Netflix inspired home screen with dynamic categories that suits any learning environment.

    All Courses With Search

    All Courses With Search

    Navigate and search through all of your available courses giving real-time filtering based on your search criteria. The perfect way to give your users access to everything they want to learn.

    Course Outline Screen

    Course Outline

    Explore each course in detail, showing course length, difficulty and lesson outline, providing everything a user would need to know about a course before enrolling!

    Lesson Content Screen

    Lesson Content

    Dynamic lesson screens that immediately adapt to the style of lesson, including text and video based contextual content. Users will also be able to see in real-time their current progress against the course they are taking.

    User Progress Screen

    User Progress

    Instant access to individual users course progression. Never forget to complete a course and track your progress as you mark lessons as completed.

    Create New Course Screen

    Course & Lesson Creation

    LMS Administrators have the ability to create new courses with associated lessons directly in the app without the need to tamper with the data tables manually, making this the one stop solution for learning management.

    Thoughts from the Collab365 Team:

    When Connor outlined this workshop to me, I got genuinely excited. For me, the Dataverse has always seemed expensive but knowing that I could crack quite a complex use case and not spend a fortune appealed. 

    The other aspect of this workshop that intrigued me is Connors focus on user experience and interaction. I know that if I were at this workshop, I would pick up dozens of tips that just pour out of his brain that can help me build not only a highly capable app, but also one that looks great. 

    The workshop wont be one where you sit and passively watch though, it will be interactive and focus on your learning as much as the content. 

    The workshop will walk you through the build process. As much as possible keeping the team present together. If there is a need to stop and dwell on a topic, Connor plans to do that but making sure to keep the pace up so progress remains on track.

    What this means is that as an attendee, the learning experience will be richer than a watch along workshop. You'll be encouraged to get hands on. 

    The product will be built in stages with you and your skills will be improved.

    Unlike other workshops, there wont be a forced pace where important questions are skipped over. If more time is needed, because the Academy is our day job, Connor and the other coaches present will it with you to complete the build. 

    If that has to be within a complementary part 2, we will set that up for you. We'll only do this if you need it because our goal is 100% to get everyone to the end together.
