As with all our e-learning courses using MEDIAplus technology, our Outlook course requires you to open a remote desktop. During the course, you will not use the Outlook app installed on your device, but the one installed on the Editions ENI servers. Why so? Because it allows you to train with any device, even one on which Outlook is not installed. This allows for more flexibility when it comes to implementing training and organising learning. 


However, this does mean there is a slight download time.


At the start of each training session, a new machine is started up for an incompressible load time of 30 to 40 seconds, which corresponds to the start-up of Microsoft's operating system.


Then, when each learning point is launched, the Outlook work environment is already set up so that each exercise can be completed seperately. For each exercise it is therefore necessary to initialise the outboxes and inboxes and their contents, create tasks and notes, load the calendar, load the contacts, and so on.


Depending on the topic, it may take up to 30 seconds to load all the necessary elements so that you can follow the lesson and then complete the exercise directly in the software, without having to have it installed locally on your own computer.
