Microsoft Viva is a platform designed to enhance employee experience by integrating various tools and insights. One of its components, Viva Learning, is focused on providing learning opportunities directly within the flow of work. Recently, Microsoft has introduced a feature called Copilot Academy, which aims to support learning by offering usage reports.

Think of Copilot Academy as a personal trainer for your learning journey. Just like a fitness tracker that monitors your steps, heart rate, and sleep patterns to help you understand your health better, Copilot Academy tracks your learning activities. It gathers data on how often you're engaging with learning materials, what topics you're focusing on, and how you're progressing over time.

These insights are then made available through Viva Insights, a tool that acts like a dashboard for your learning progress. You can access these reports in two ways: through Excel or a PowerBI dashboard. Imagine Excel as a detailed spreadsheet that lays out all your learning data in rows and columns, similar to how you might track your monthly expenses. PowerBI, on the other hand, is like a dynamic visual report, offering charts and graphs that make it easier to see trends and patterns in your learning activities.

This feature is currently in development and will be available for users worldwide, whether they're accessing it from a desktop or the web. It's designed to be a seamless part of the Microsoft 365 Apps ecosystem, ensuring that learning and development are integrated into the daily workflow without needing to switch between different platforms.

By providing these insights, organizations can better understand how their employees are engaging with learning resources, helping to tailor future training programs and ensure that learning is both effective and efficient.
