Collaboration and video meetings

Microsoft Teams is a digital platform that supports collaboration and communication between educators and students. Teams enables the creation of virtual learning spaces where participants can share materials, communicate via chat and video, and conduct online teaching sessions. Educators can structure content in channels, integrate assignments, and use file sharing to support the learning process.

Teams can be used to conduct live teaching sessions with screen sharing, recording, and active participation through, for example, polls and hand raising. The platform also supports group-based work, allowing students to collaborate in dedicated group rooms and use collaborative tools such as shared documents and whiteboards.

Use the tool for:

  • Offering bookable times for supervision, feedback, or meetings.

  • Allowing students to book time with automatic confirmation and reminders.

  • Keeping an overview of appointments directly in Outlook.

  • Streamlining scheduling and reducing coordination efforts.
