A colleague of mine, PK, is working on project to examine the effectiveness of localized Learning Manager tool (MyLearning & Learning Catalog) in certain countries: Germany, France, Spain, Brzil & Russia.
And we thought it would be great if she can get some thoughts directly from end users - you guys; whether you use it, not use it, find it useful, or not useful, etc. We would really appreciate your inputs on these sites as it will help Microsoft Learning determine how to make them better and easy to access for our customers.
Thanks in advanced! :-)
Here are the questions and links to the 5 sites:
· Have you ever used Mylearning & Learning Catalog? Did you access it through the U.S. site (www.microsoft.com/learning) or through a country-specific site (see below list)?
· What was your overall experience? What did you like best/least about it?
· If you have never used it, please try it out and give us feedback.

Hi, I am located in Germany and I use Mylearning & Learning Catalog regularly to access elearning courses etc.
I usually access it through the U.S. site (www.microsoft.com/learning) because this link is easy to remember. The overall experience is excellent(well designed entry-portal, good functionaly, I always could find what I was searching for).
The performance leaves sometimes to be desired. I experienced some issues where I could not access mylearning after adding some elearning courses using a vouchercode, but the support could always fix it. To what you have to get used to: After clicking a course in mylearning it first shows up with some options to activate it, although you have booked it already. Then you have to wait until the course shows up correctly what depending on the performance can take some time.
I miss the possibility to buy elearning courses for my company. I work for a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in Germany and due to the german tax regulations we need a receipt issued to the company to refund the costs of courses to me.

I really appreciate the feedback! I have a follow-up question: if you were to change one thing about the Catalog & Mylearning to make it a better user experience, what would that change be? Anything goes!
