Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a service that offers video conferencing, chat, collaboration and the integration of many educational apps and services, including Canvas, the new College VLE. Teams is now available for staff and students at the College. Educators can use Microsoft Teams to create collaborative classrooms, connect with learners, and communicate in staff teams - all from a single experience in Office 365.
We recommend downloading the Teams app (desktop or mobile) for the best user experience.

Instructional videos and guides
Every class will have a Team set up automatically by IT and the relevant Curriculum Head will be able to make the class lecturer a team owner. Staff Teams are also created by IT on request.
To request a new staff Team, or for additional support, contact IT via the 4me service desk.
The Learning Technologies team can take you through the basics of using Staff and Class Teams. When you have mastered the basics and want to explore more of the opportunities, we can provide additional training.
