Microsoft Training Prototypes

Clickable rapid prototypes of Microsoft 365 training, built so clients can try every lesson and confirm the direction before development in Articulate. Each one opens in a new tab and uses a fictional organization name.

The prototypes

Three courses, five versions. Copilot in Excel was prototyped in Rise and Storyline styles so the client could compare formats, and rebuilt in Mindsmith as an AI authoring experiment.

Copilot in Excel: Prompt It,
Prove It

Lessons that teach staff to prompt Copilot for formulas, analysis, and charts, then verify every result. Try three versions: scrolling Rise lessons, slide-based Storyline practice in a simulated workbook, and an AI authoring experiment built in Mindsmith from my outline.
