To Zoom or not to Zoom - it is MS Teams now

I have done the first online classroom session now. And I have to realise that I have to reorganise my setup slightly: The following new layout applies to all of my classes:

  • MS Teams will be the classroom hub. I have organised one team/course. Please ensure that you have the application installed
  • Within the individual teams there will channels for permanent groups and notebooks for each student. We will utilise those to the extend we feel like
  • You will remain using your individual blog/journal as before
  • Moodle will have the same role as before
  • We will NOT be using Zoom for the classroom sessions.
  • Upcoming classroom sessions will be announced with an invitation in teams
  • The call function within MS Teams will be used for classroom session, presentations, individual discussion (tutor – student, student – student, etc.). group meetings - basically everything
  • Please ensure that you are avalible in your allocated groups (channels) during group session time
