Diving into courses and how to videos
You can also review courses by clicking each tile – Foundations, Integrations, and How-to Videos.
Courses are categorized by whether they include a hands-on lab, video only, badges, or event replays. The event replays were hosted by MaaS360 subject matter experts and usually run about an hour.
The Foundations and Integrations courses tend to be more than 20 minutes long and are more comprehensive in nature with knowledge checks, guides, and labs. Whereas, the How to videos average 5-10 minutes and are a good way to learn how to complete a specific task, such as collecting logs from an iOS or Android device, navigating the portal, or configuring a specific Cloud Extender module.
