A team is a group of students in a classroom that can share messages, documents and calendar items.
Contents
Features
We provide an easy team builder tool for classes. Faculty can build unlimited number of teams and include students in as many teams as needed. Each team comes with its own:
- Team message board/forum
- Team calendar
- Team document center
From the teams page, faculty can send messages, grade assignments and manage student profile using the shortcut (
) icon.
Building teams
There are two ways to go to the team builder page to build teams:
- Method 1
- From top menu select classroom, classes
- Go to the class in question
- Click on teams from the side menu of the class website
- Method 2
- From top menu select classroom, classes, teams
- Select a class
Working with Team Builder
Create a team
- Enter the Team name in one of the empty input boxes on top.
- Repeat this for all teams. If you run out of empty boxes, press save and more empty boxes will be added.
- Press save when done.
Assign students to teams
- Check the box for each student in a team
- Press save.
Once you have assigned students to teams, they will have access to their own team areas accordingly. It is not necessary to notify each student which team she is assigned to because the student will have access only to the team she was assigned.
Note: A student can be assigned to multiple teams.
Rename a team
- Enter a different team name in the input box.
- Press save.
Delete a team
- Enter the word DELETE in the team name box .
- Press save.
What happens after teams are created
- Students will see a list of teams that they belong to under Class Discussions, Documents, and Calendar. That will allow them to post messages to each other (you will also get a copy of their postings), share documents, and share a calendar for their project timelines.
- The faculty will see a list of all teams as well as have access to all teams.

- Team messaging
- Course management
- Study groups: An alternative to teams outside of a classroom or among multiple classes.
