Teams

A team is a group of students in a classroom that can share messages, documents and calendar items.

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.
