titleClass Teams Provisioned in NUS

To save you the hassle of adding students individually, NUS IT and CIT has provisioned 1 class team per group for NUS academic modules:

  • Lecture (L)
  • Design Lecture (D)
  • Packaged Lecture (P)
  • Seminar-Style Module Class (E)
  • Sectional Teaching (S)

It is optional for teaching staff to use Teams as an engagement tool in complement with LumiNUS, or standalone. Students will only be allowed into the team when teaching staff (i.e. team owners) activates it. The plan is to automate this process and provision class teams every semester.

titleService Health Advisory from Microsoft

Update as of Friday, August 7, 2020

"We request that users refrain from using duplicate teams while we are in the process of deleting those duplicate teams. We also request that users not attempt to manually delete any duplicate teams, as it may unintentionally delete the underlying unified group and the original team associated with that group as well.

Current status: We're continuing to develop a code fix which is expected to resolve the issue. In parallel, we're requesting the affected users to not use either of the duplicate Teams while we further develop our plan of safely deleting the duplicate, while saving all necessary content.

Root cause: A code issue was introduced to a component of the Microsoft Teams service in a recent update that's causing users to see duplicate teams created via School Data Sync (SDS).Next update by: Friday, August 7, 2020, 9:00 AM"
