Microsoft Introduces Classroom Platform With AI Tools

Nov 11, 2026
Microsoft Classroom brings assignments, grades, class notebooks and AI tools into one education platform. A preview is planned for early 2027.

Microsoft announced on its website Microsoft Classroom, a standalone Microsoft 365 platform for primary, secondary and higher education. A preview is planned for early 2027, and Classroom will be available in current A1, A3, A5 and A7 subscriptions at no additional cost starting next year.

Classroom combines Assignments, Classwork, Grades, OneNote Class Notebook, Learning Accelerators, Insights and Reflect in one interface. It will be available on the web and through desktop and mobile apps, with personal home views showing assignments, feedback, deadlines and work awaiting review.

The platform also includes Teach, Microsoft's AI planning workspace for educators. Educators can use the Study and Learn Agent within assignments, while students can access Learning Activities. Classroom will not replace Microsoft Teams for Education or Microsoft 365 LTI, and institutions can continue using those options separately or alongside it.

Microsoft plans to include Classroom in future A2 and higher subscriptions starting in January 2028.
