Teams have been created for all modules that need them, and you will have been added to any Teams where you are a course tutor. If you cannot see a Team that you are expecting to be in, please check that the Team has not been hidden by following these instructions. You should also check the course in Moodle. Unless you are listed as a course author or tutor, you may not have been added to the relevant team correctly. If you think that you are missing a team please email the IT Service Desk with "Learning and Teaching: Missing Team" in the subject line.

Breakout rooms were added as a feature in Microsoft Teams at the end of last term. The E-Learning team has created these guides on how to use them:

An introduction to breakout rooms

A quick guide to using breakout rooms

E-Learning have produced a guide to starting recordings from home and from your own computer.

There are instructions on Moodle that guide you through steps to make recordings available to students, as they are hidden by default.

If you need help, you should go to the AV Online Support 'Team', post details of your issue, and then someone from the team will then contact you on Teams to resolve the problem.
