Remote learning made easier with Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams update adds new Class Insights tab for remote learning.

Microsoft recently announced a new update they're introducing to Teams that will make remote learning a much easier process for educators using the collaboration software.

The Class Insights tab in Teams will allow teachers to gain insight into how their students are performing in class. Teachers can add the Class Insights tab into their classes which will show information on average grades, on-time assignments, average return time and conversation activity.

This new update allows educators to have a view of both individual student's performance and the overall class performance. Using the information Class Insights provides, teachers can make informed decisions about the curriculum, lesson pacing and student engagement.

Microsoft has also recently introduced breakout rooms to Teams, giving teachers the freedom to easily divide their class into groups for group discussions, encourage participation and collaboration.

Transitioning to remote learning has been a huge challenge for schools and educators across the UK due to Covid-19, but Microsoft has created a learning path for educators who need support getting started with remote learning on Teams. The Master Microsoft Teams for Remote Learning includes 5 one-hour training courses to prepare teachers for the remote learning experience.

Key benefits of Microsoft Teams:

• One centralised hub
• Integration with Microsoft 365
• Customise Teams through APIs and Bot Frameworks
• Enterprise security & compliance
• Active directory integration with Azure
• No extra cost to Microsoft 365 users
