Microsoft Teams for Teaching: Staff Guides

Microsoft Teams is the institutional collaboration platform at The University of Leeds. You can use Microsoft Teams for live sessions and collaboration in your teaching.

You can create teams via Minerva. Minerva Class Teams allow for the delivery of live sessions along with a collaboration space. This suite of staff guides shows how to setup and use a Class Team via Minerva as part of your teaching.

 

Minerva Class Team

A Minerva Class Team is created directly from within a Minerva module, merged module or organisation by Instructors/Leaders, it is then linked and inherits the enrolment data so your students are added, and removed automatically.
