“From my experience, I actually like Teams way more than any other platform. In my mind, I see it as a way to eliminate all the other apps used by student groups, such as Slack, GroupMe, Facebook Messenger, and to just have one place, a central hub.”
“Everything sounded suited to business. ... My teaching colleagues get anxious about that, but you sold me on Teams because of the academic possibilities.”
Vision for the Jayhawk Cloud
The Jayhawk Cloud is an engaging informational and accessible networking hub where are Jayhawks can create, discover, and share knowledge and nurture relationships, building a diverse and inclusive community.
“Certainly for fostering class discussions and class engagement, I think that it has a huge advantage compared to Zoom. I love all the versatility that Teams offers, especially with the chat features.”
