Overview
Within Microsoft Teams, instructors can use a list of pre-populated course groups to create a Class Team for the course(s). When a course is chosen for creation, the Class Team is created in an inactive state. When the instructor is ready for students to view the Class Team, the instructor activates the team. When active, students enrolled in the course will be able to see the Team and participate in conversations and assignments. Student adds and drops will be updated each night automatically, keeping the team membership in sync with ISRS.
Creating your Class Team
Course sections will not have a team created automatically. Instructors need to create the class team from an existing list of courses groups.
- Within Microsoft Teams, look for the Join or create a team link or button. In List view, this appears in the lower left of Teams. In Grid view, it appears in the upper right.
- Choose From Group
- Search for the course group and choose Add Team.
Activating your Class Team
When you have set up your class team and are ready for students to start participating, you will need to ‘Activate’ the team.
- Click Activate in the banner at the top of the team.
