Microsoft Teams is a chat-based digital workspace that enables real-time collaboration between faculty and students and learning can extend beyond the classroom.
Class Teams help you easily manage class workflow while engaging every student's voice. You can move quickly and easily from conversations to content creation. You can communicate with students, share files and links, grade assignments and schedule online classes. Students can collaborate on group projects by co-authoring files and engaging in meetings and conversations, all in one place.
Class 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 courses:
- Lecture (L)
- Design Lecture (D)
- Packaged Lecture (P)
- Seminar-Style Course Class (E)
- Sectional Teaching (S)
The class teams for the new semesters will be synced with EduRec/CMIS roster daily starting 2 weeks before the semester starts until the end of semester (when exams are over).
- Cross-listed courses will be merged according to the respective class groups.
- It is optional for teaching staff to use Teams as an engagement tool in complement with Canvas, or standalone. Students will only be allowed into the team when teaching staff (i.e. team owners) activates it.
