Microsoft Teams (MS Teams)
Teams is a communication and collaboration tool that supports synchronous web meetings with video/audio, screen sharing and whiteboard; asynchronous discussion; file sharing and a wide range of external web apps and tools. The platform makes it possible for you to create a space for more robust collaboration between your students.
You can have a Team for each unit that you teach. Each Team can have multiple Channels, which can be used for discussion boards, chat tools, wikis, documents, polling and more.
Monash staff and students are able to use Teams for learning and teaching, group project work and study groups.

Log in with your standard Monash login from a web browser
Alternatively, download and log into the desktop app with your standard Monash login. For Monash devices, you can download the desktop app via My Software(PC) or Self Service(MAC). For non-Monash devices you can download the desktop app via https://products.office.com/en-au/microsoft-teams/download-app
We generally recommend using the desktop app because functionality varies between web browsers.
