MS Copilot - Introduction (NEW - October 25)

This course is suitable for absolute beginners to MS Copilot. We assume learners will already be familiar with using a keyboard, mouse, computer and assistive technology.  This Introduction course shows you how to 

  • Get started with Chatting with Copilot via your Microsoft 365 login (free version) and
  • How to take advantage of using Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and Excel using the free and paid for versions.

Estimated Course duration is 2 hours. Each lesson takes on average 3-5 minutes to complete.

NOTE Microsoft is continually updating its software, unlike in the past where you could expect a new version every few years. New versions are available regularly with changes.  So, as you are learning Copilot keep in mind that some options may differ but the concept remains the same.
