Dear all, I am a teacher from Singapore and my school have been working on Office 365 for 1 year and we very happy to see an application like learning companion as it will create a more unified connectivity and simplify management for both teachers and students. Similar to alxdean post, I have install the learning companion but it is unable to connect to my school Office 365 Plan A2 sharepoint sites. Please advise. Thank you.Anonymous

Great news. Download and install was a breeze But I just can't get the solution to connect to either my Office 365 (2010) or my Office 365 (2013 Preview) environments :-( whenever I try to do an action like create a class, it creates it in cache but not on the sharepoint site.Anonymous
