LP+365, the first feature full Learning Management System (LMS) on Office 365, will be rolled out in Sri Lanka as part of an agreement between Microsoft Gold partners, Learning Possibilities and Tech One Global. Apart from Sri Lanka, the LP+365 app will also be available in Bangladesh, Brunei, the Philippines, Nepal and Maldives as well, as part of advancing learning experiences in classrooms.
