Synchronous Learning on Brightspace
Microsoft Teams (MS Teams) is an online conference platform used for online teaching at Niagara College.
Using MS Teams for Synchronous Learning
Instructors can create a virtual classroom to share presentation materials and communicate with you and your classmates through audio, video, and chat tools. This means that MS Teams is where you will have many of your synchronous (real-time) online lectures, live discussions, and presentations.
Your instructors might create an MS Teams directly connected to your Brightspace course or they might set up individual Teams meeting links and share them with you. Whatever method they choose, this should be communicated to you prior to your first online class. If you are unsure of your online classes and meeting platforms, be sure to email your instructor and ask for clarification.
