An Irish-founded EdTech company headquartered in Dublin with an office in India announces the launch of a new Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) app in Microsoft Teams as part of a joint initiative with Microsoft.

Launched from within the Microsoft Teams application, the Olive app is an intuitive software platform that delivers a wide range of interactive digital content, enabling a more user-centric learning experience for up to 250 million global Microsoft Teams daily active users. The app has a market potential of €5 million for Olive Group.

Professor Kevin Marshall, Head of Education at Microsoft, mentioned, “We’re delighted to partner with Olive Group – a company that is on the cutting edge of EdTech. The team has a firm appreciation of what digital natives are looking for from a learning and engagement perspective. Catering to evolving user demands requires big picture thinking, and Olive Group has a proven track record of delivering eLearning solutions that are easily deployed, customisable and user-friendly. Olive’s app delivers high-quality digital content that is learner-centric and outcome-driven, while also facilitating more dynamic student-tutor engagement and more efficient digital assessments.”

Supported by Enterprise Ireland, the Olive application was designed and developed by Olive Group’s growing team of eLearning experts in collaboration with Microsoft. The application addresses the issue with online education which has been stagnant for many years – that engagement has been restricted by disconnected legacy systems with poor experience. What makes the Olive app different is that it is a purpose-built learning experience that is easily deployed and customisable with access to high-end interactive digital content.

The Olive Group app integration in Microsoft Teams takes the level of interactivity and engagement during online Teams sessions to the next level, delivering seamless student-tutor interaction, with easy-to-use interactive tools. The live virtual classrooms are enhanced with breakout rooms for group work and discussions, creating an outstanding and immersive environment for learners. The app allows the impact of learning to be demonstrated through robust assessments, delivered securely and efficiently, ensuring the learning cycle is complete.

Within the app, Olive Group has created a unique game-changer feature in content creation for e-learning and marketing sectors. Whereas the AI Content Creation Automation Tool - available as an add-on feature - is an intuitive AI-based content authoring tool, which creates video-based courses and videos in a fast, efficient fashion by utilising the power of AI technology.

The new partnership with Microsoft gives Olive an opportunity to expand its reach into higher education and corporates where Microsoft have an advanced penetration in the deployment of Microsoft 365 and Teams applications.

Olive Group is an accredited Microsoft ISV (Independent Software Vendors) partner.
