    The Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA) is a free cloud-based learning environment focusing on Microsoft Technologies (Although the site states that it focuses on cloud-based technologies, I have found content in some countries not specific to the cloud).

    The concept behind the MVA is similar to that of a “Virtual University”; students select a course(s) to study and then do a self-assessment exam to gauge how well they’ve understood the study material. Students also accrue points for material studied and courses completed which are used to promote them through a recognition system (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum Level) and provide them with a comparison on how they rank against other students in their country and around the world.

    More information about the MVA can be found in the FAQ.

    MVA is really good source of getting quick information on Microsoft Technologies.

    I wish such information packets were available for other technologies as well.

    MVA uses Windows Live Messenger therefore al,l you need to do is login using the same account you used to post your question.
