Exploring the MAG Learning Center

Thank you

The MAG recently launched an immersive learning platform that has reimagined how payments educational content will be consumed. From Best Practices to Webinars, SIG notes to eLearning, the MAG Learning Center (or as we call it - the MLC for short) has something for all skill levels and organizes all content into a consolidated, user-friendly interface. In this first-of-its-kind demo webinar (a deminar, if you will), come meet with MAG's Education team in this interactive session where you'll learn how to best utilize the platform to stay up to date on relevant and ever-changing payments education content.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explore the Events hub to learn how to register for future webinars and re-watch the recordings of timeless past webinars.
  2. Identify how to stay updated on everything going on in MAG's Committees and Communities of Practice in their dedicated hubs or circle back on past SIG discussion notes in SIG Central.
  3. Recognize the different areas of the Learning Catalog and where to find important merchant-only resources.
