Microsoft Teams

At NIC, Microsoft Teams can be used to sup­port online teach­ing and vir­tu­al office hours. It enables instruc­tors to con­nect with stu­dents in real time through video, audio, and chat, while also sup­port­ing screen shar­ing, file shar­ing, and ongo­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion out­side of sched­uled ses­sions. This makes it a flex­i­ble option for both course deliv­ery and stu­dent sup­port.
