The Bigger Brains eLearning app can also be accessed by creating a tab.
In any chat or channel, begin adding a new tab by clicking the + icon. After clicking the + icon, search for Bigger Brains eLearning. If you don’t see Bigger brains eLearning, go to the Teams App store and make sure the app is installed.
Click the “Add” button to add the app as a new tab.
Licensing #
After adding the tab, you will be asked to choose from one of the three license types. The app will check your User ID and recommend a license type if it finds your account in one of our systems.
License Types: #
Free- As the name implies, this is the free license. Only a handful of sample courses are available with this license.
Individual- This license uses the individual’s Teams ID (Their email address, usually) to verify their license with the Bigger Brains portal. For most MSPs, this is the license to choose for your clients, since their accounts will be validated individually. If you have setup your users in the Bigger Brains portal, they will be validated using this license type.
Corporate- This license will prompt for a corporate license ID. This is most often used for large corporate sales when the Bigger Brains content is being used from the company learning management system (LMS) not from the Bigger Brains portal. This license is not usually the correct choice for a MSP on their clients, unless you have been instructed otherwise.
Note: For MSP clients, the “Individual” license is almost always the correct choice. Using the Individual license means the system will authenticate the user if their individual license means the system will authenticate the user if their individual email is registered to a user in the Bigger Brains portal.
If the user has been setup in the Bigger Brains Reseller Portal, you should see a license screen similar to the one to there right. Follow the recommended choice and proceed with the Individual license.
In rare cases, notably with MSP clients who use the Bigger Brains content through DeskDirector or CloudRadial, the users are not setup in the Bigger Brains portal and so the Individual license will not work. In those cases, Bigger Brains can provide a “Corporate” license ID for those organizations.
Name the Tab #
After selecting a licensing option, the next step is giving your tab a name.
Note: This can always be renamed later as well.
Choose Your Tab Type #
BrainStation LMS View #
This tab displays the Bigger Brains Learning Management System, BrainStation, with all the Bigger Brains eLearning courses and features, as well as any custom content created by the Team Leaders have access to run Reports, Manage Teams, Assign Courses, Manage Custom Courses, Manage Learning Paths, and Manage Subteams.

This tab displays all available courses inside the Brainstation LMS. It is similar to the BrainStation view except instead of starting from the “My Courses” screen it will start with the entire Course Library view.
Single Course #
This tab displays one selected course.
Learning Path #
This tab will show one Learning Path- a collection of courses which have been grouped together. When this view is selected, it will prompt you to select an existing Learning Path or create a new one. When you select “Existing Learning Path” it will display all created Learning Paths for you to you choose from. Selecting “New Learning Path” will prompt you to create a Learning Path from the Bigger Brains course library, or custom courses created by a customer’s organization.
Reports #
This tab displays a reporting dashboard for the individual or for the Team (Team reporting is only available for Team Leaders.)
Finishing Your Tab #
If you chose the Single Course type, you’ll be prompted to pick which course will display. After choosing the course, you will be asked to enter a name for the Tab. After entering a name, choose Save to save the tab. For the other types you’ll be prompted to enter a name for the Tab and choose Save.
