Overview

With Learning Essentials, educators and students can get started, stay organized, and successfully complete high-quality work. Educators can create effective instructional resources, complete administrative tasks, and implement new teaching strategies. Using the Content Development Kit, educators can create additional templates and tutorials that integrate with familiar Microsoft Office applications. And students can use templates with project assistance to coach them through a variety of assignments.

The English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish versions of Learning Essentials also support SCORM standards. SCORM Tools seamlessly convert Microsoft Office documents into standards-based e-learning content that can be managed and reused by any SCORM-conformant learning management system.

Learning Essentials is a free download for schools that license Microsoft Office.

Note: Learning Essentials is customized with appropriate content for International (LrngEssl2_Intl_English.exe) and North American (LRNGESSL20.exe) English. Choose the download that is most relevant for you.
