Microsoft Teams for Instructors: Start Here!
Hello McMaster Instructors!
We are excited to present an interactive sessions exploring how to leverage Microsoft Teams as a teaching tool. The series of events, called Class Teams will be jointly led by Microsoft and Christa Morrison (Business Systems Specialist, University Technology Services).
Thursday, June 11: Introduction to Class Teams
The first event in the series Class Teams: Start Here explored how to leverage Microsoft Teams — a tool for communication, collaboration and instruction — to achieve key learning outcomes.
Wednesday, June 17: OneNote for Education and Forms
In our next session, we’ll review OneNote for Education and Forms. Within Teams, instructors can quickly converse with students, share files and websites, create a OneNote Class Notebook, and distribute and grade assignments. Built-in OneNote Class Notebooks and end-to-end assignment management allow them to organize interactive lessons and provide effective and timely feedback.
More sessions to be scheduled and added here!
