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 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.
Announcement for AY2020/2021 Semester 1

Service 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)."
