Zoom will be replaced in the blue Navbar in Brightspace by Teams. Zoom will continue to be available in Brightspace under More Course Tools on the Navbar until the end of its contract on July 20.
If you wish to continue using Zoom in Brightspace after July 2, you and your students will need to use the More Course Tools drop-down menu to find Zoom.
If you wish to switch to Teams, you can use the new link in the Navbar and create a new meeting there. A new resource module has been created with information about Teams for Instructors and Students. This new module will be automatically added to all courses created after June 19. For any courses created before June 19 that wish to start using Teams, the resource module can be added by the instructor using the Learning Object Repository in Brightspace.
To add the module:
- Log in to your course
- Go to Content in the Blue Navbar
- Navigate to where you want the Teams content to display in your course
- Click on Upload/Create
- In the Upload/Create menu, click on Add Object from LOR
- In the Search For box, type Microsoft Teams
- Choose the first option that appears called Microsoft Teams by clicking the bubble to the left of its name.
- Click Next
- In the Retrieve Object window, leave the option on Dynamic Link and click Next
- Click on Create Topic
Once the module is added, it will be available to you and your students.
Optionally, the module can be moved to the left-hand navigation by dragging and dropping the module into place.
