Description
There is a growing trend among educators and students to use various online tools and learning management systems (LMS) such as Google Workspace, Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard. While many of them are popular and in use today, an LMS designed by Microsoft should not be overlooked. This presentation suggests that Microsoft Teams is helpful and simple for instructors to sign up for and deploy in the classroom without the need for additional assistance. Unlike other LMS platforms, Microsoft Teams will work "out-of-the-box", no additional plug-ins or modifications are required. Moreover, some of the popular software applications used include the Microsoft Office suite, which most companies use today; students can obtain real-time experience both in and outside the classroom. This presentation not only assists in understanding the digital learning platforms used in higher education that use Microsoft Teams as an LMS, but it also leads to necessary recommendations and suggestions for enhancing the usage of Microsoft Teams for Education for a better learning experience for both classroom and in the workplace.
