Since the COVID-19 outbreak, our education customers have done amazing things to keep students engaged while learning from home. From eLearning innovations<\/a>, to lifting the spirits with photo and cooking challenges<\/a> \u2013 teachers and students have shown extraordinary resilience during a difficult time.<\/p>\n

Schools and universities have witnessed the exceptional value that online learning can bring.

Which means enriching the learning experience with technology whether students are at home or at school.<\/p>\n

Plus, Microsoft Teams remains available to educational institutions for free, through the Office 365 A1<\/a> package.
