High Performance Collaboration

High Performance Collaboration is for those who are already familiar with the basic functions of applications such as OneDrive, Outlook and Teams and would like to learn more. This session offers U of T employees new ways to use Microsoft 365 tools more confidently, productively and collaboratively in day-to-day work.

Building on the foundation laid out by Introduction to Microsoft 365 @ U of T, High Performance Collaboration delves into key Microsoft 365 productivity applications to offer new perspectives on how to use tools such as:

      • Teams
      • OneDrive
      • SharePoint
      • Stream
      • Forms​

Individuals who take this class should have a basic understanding of Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. This class can be taken by both staff and faculty, but specifically focuses on using Microsoft 365 tools within an administrative context.

By Request

EASI has identified that divisions have different requirements and training needs even within a specific subject. As a result, ​divisions can currently request a one-time customized training session of High Performance Collaboration. Using a train the trainer model, EASI will work with a representative from the requesting division and co-present a customized version of this class. Following this process, the divisional representative will have the knowledge needed to run future iterations of the class on their own.
