Students: Accessing Microsoft Teams in Blackboard

Microsoft Teams and Zoom are readily available in Blackboard for use. Your instructor decides the mode of instruction for your course, and your instructor will communicate the collaboration tool that will be used for each course. Depending on which collaboration tool the instructor decides to use, we have provided applicable guidelines. This guideline applies if your instructor has decided to use Microsoft Teams as a means of instruction and collaboration.
