Microsoft Certified Trainers use Collaborative training: Develop Portable Professional Instructor Capability
Microsoft Certified Trainers are leveraging collaborative learning techniques in their training programs to create engaging and interactive learning experiences. These trainers use various tools and technologies to enable learners to collaborate effectively, including Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneNote.
Professional context
Collaborative learning is a student-centered approach to learning that emphasizes active participation, interaction, and collaboration among learners. In collaborative learning, learners work together in small groups to solve problems, complete tasks, and share their knowledge and insights. This approach has been shown to improve learning outcomes by promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Practical application
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform that enables learners to communicate and work together in real-time. Trainers can create Teams channels for specific training topics or activities, and learners can use these channels to ask questions, share resources, and collaborate on group projects. Trainers can also use Teams to deliver live training sessions, where learners can participate in real-time and ask questions as needed.
Knowledge transfer
SharePoint is a cloud-based platform that enables learners to access and share documents, files, and other resources. Trainers can create SharePoint sites for specific training programs or courses, and learners can use these sites to access course materials, collaborate on group projects, and share their work with other learners.
Career opportunity
OneNote is a note-taking app that enables learners to take and share notes, organize information, and collaborate with others. Trainers can create shared OneNote notebooks for specific training programs or courses, and learners can use these notebooks to take notes, share their insights and observations, and collaborate on group projects.

Applying Instructor Capability in This Professional Context
Collaborative learning sessions also help learners to stay engaged and motivated in their learning. When learners are actively participating in the learning process, they are more likely to retain information and apply it in their work. Collaborative learning also creates a sense of community among learners, which can help to reduce feelings of isolation and increase motivation to learn.
In addition to improving learning outcomes, collaborative learning sessions also provide learners with a valuable opportunity to network and connect with other professionals in their field. Through collaborative learning, learners can expand their professional network, learn from others’ experiences, and develop new skills and perspectives.

These trainers have extensive experience in designing and delivering training programs, and they can create customized learning experiences that align with learners’ specific needs and goals.
