Productivity, Collaboration, and Automation

This unit develops applied Microsoft 365 skills for personal productivity, team collaboration, content production, and basic automation while emphasizing workplace well-being and human-centered practices. It builds on foundational concepts from Unit 1 and prepares learners to design integrated solutions and apps in subsequent units.

• Apply Microsoft 365 collaboration and communication tools (People, Teams meetings and breakout rooms, Calendar, and file sharing) to plan, facilitate, and manage collaborative meetings and shared work
• Demonstrate professional content production by composing business-ready messages, producing meeting content, creating slide decks, and taking structured notes using built-in shortcuts and accessibility features
• Design and implement basic productivity solutions by creating Microsoft Lists, automating a multi-step workflow with Power Automate, and building a simple Power App that integrates across Microsoft 365 services
