Microsoft Teams is a program that your instructor might use to teach a live, online class. With Microsoft Teams, you are able to see and hear your instructor, as well as any PowerPoints or resources that they are using. You are also able to ask questions and communicate with your classmates - just like a regular, face-to-face class.
*Please note that your classes on Microsoft Teams will not appear until the first day of class.
If you have never used Microsoft Teams before, the following video and resources will explain how to use it and what the most commonly used features are.
Workshops
D2L Brightspace & Microsoft Teams workshops are held at the beginning of each semester. The workshops help to explain what the software is, why it is used, and cover the most commonly used features and expectations for online etiquette.
