Selected Microsoft Community Courseware Now Available Through Logical Operations Store

Did You Know that LO Offers Microsoft Community Courseware Content?

You can now find #Microsoft Community Courseware products at the Logical Operations store!? These #curriculum offerings were previously only available from the former Microsoft Marketplace site, hosted by Arvato.?

What Is Microsoft Community Courseware?

For many years, Microsoft authorized third-party publishers to release curriculum materials on a hosted Marketplace site, known as Microsoft Community Courseware. The content was accessible to all Microsoft partners, and the subjects were limited to Microsoft-approved titles on content not covered by Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC). In mid-2023, Microsoft opted to discontinue the Community Courseware program, and shut down the Marketplace site.

Did you know that Microsoft’s decision to retire the Marketplace was based in part on their change of focus in MOC from product-specific to role-based training? Many former Marketplace customers still seek the product-based training products that LO can now offer. If you have these curriculum needs, we can help you align them with the right partner.

So, what was a challenge for Marketplace customers has become an opportunity for the #training and #learning community, since Logical Operations can now bring the best of this #courseware to all our customers without the limitations of the former Microsoft program.? Plus, these well-respected publishers are no longer restricted to Microsoft’s subject-matter approval, and can extend their libraries with other titles and content.

How Did LO Select These Offerings?

Logical Operations was approached in early 2023 with the opportunity to host material from the former Microsoft Marketplace. We reviewed all the titles available, curated and selected the ones of most value to our customer community, and formed agreements with the highest-quality and most popular publishers. We wanted to bring you the best of the former Marketplace in a way that would complement and extend our own high-quality CHOICE curriculum library.
