Whether you are transitioning out of BuckeyeBox and into OneDrive four weeks from now or four months from now – you can learn to use Microsoft applications and set up new projects and class materials in OneDrive or another program TODAY.

Training Open to All Buckeyes

We have been promoting resources on the Administrative Resources Center so you can learn more about OneDrive and Teams (you’ll need to log in to see these resources). But we know that not everyone has the same learning preferences, so we have lined up more online webinars that we will be hosting regularly, on a rotating basis. The classes will have an in-person instructor who will walk you through the applications and answer your questions. In addition to OneDrive and Teams, we have engaged Microsoft to offer OneNote training.

  • Registration is NOT required.
  • Microsoft instructors will present these sessions.
  • All sessions will use the same link.
  • All sessions are 2 hours, ending with Q&A session.
  • You can take the same session multiple times, if necessary.

Further information for attending is below the course listing. Please look at the instructions and test the link prior to the webinar to ensure you have no issues connecting. Our first set of webinars are listed below. If you cannot attend, look for future sessions that we will promote in the future. We will also record one session of each class and post it so you can view it whenever it is convenient for you.
