Module 1: An Introduction to Teams
Office 365 is a selection of productivity applications hosted by Microsoft in the cloud. For years, users would jump between these different applications to achieve their working objectives whether it be file creation, conferencing, reporting or other intent. To act as a hub for these services, Microsoft Teams brilliantly weaves these services together creating a seamless experience.
In this module we will break down Microsoft Teams into its core components and explain what each is used for and when to use them. You will also be taught about the different types of Team that can be created to ensure your experience in Teams gets off to the best start.

You can chat with individuals or groups of individuals. Chat can be quickly turned into a voice or video call. You also have the ability to send attachments including Giphy’s and Stickers for a more social experience.

Module 3: Creating and Managing Web Pages
In this module we will discuss how we use the Teams area of Teams to collaborate with our colleagues. As discussed in Module 1, a Team can be a department or a project in a small or large group. It gives you one area to store and share all your conversations, files, meetings and links to other apps and systems that the team use regularly. This is likely to be the area of Teams that you will spend the most time in, so it is essential to know as much about managing individual Teams as possible to ensure successful adoption and ongoing use of Microsoft Teams.

Components of a Team | Channel announcements |
Team permissions | Format a post |

Module 5: Working with files
In this module we will discuss how to collaborate on the files that we need as a Team. We will look at the options provided, to chat about files and co-author files from within the Teams environment. Files are stored in a SharePoint document library with a link to them from Teams. This means that you can take advantage of some of SharePoint’s advanced features to add business processes to your files. But for this course we will focus on the functionality available to us directly within Teams.

We will look at how we can decide in what way and when we are notified about activity in the Team. We will discuss what we can do as an owner of a Team to determine what the rest of your colleagues have access to do. We will look at the search functionality in Teams and then discuss the connectors and bots that could assist us. This is the module that brings everything together from the previous modules and allows you to ensure you get the best out of the whole Teams app.
