Description
As the use of MS Teams for teaching has expanded rapidly in the last several months, additional features have appeared that extend the functionality of this platform. This session is about the best uses of MS Teams for synchronous delivery in teaching – as well as some cautionary tales about its limitations. The session facilitators will provide you with an overview of the good, the bad, and the just plain different (when contrasted to LEARN), prior to opening up the floor to questions and sharing.
To help you get the most out of this session, we would like to hear what key questions you have for our panelists. What aspect of using MS Teams for synchronous delivery are you hoping to hear about? Please send your questions to ctecoop1@uwaterloo.ca by Friday, February 26, 2021.

CTE’s online workshops are delivered through either WebEx, Microsoft Teams, or Bongo with the audio component available either as captioning or a transcript. CTE’s face-to-face workshops typically involve a mix of presentation and discussion-based activities, and we encourage a scent-free environment. We welcome accompanying assistants, interpreters, and note-takers.
