This presentation will demonstrate how Microsoft Teams can be used as an LMS (learning management system). Teams in not a full-fledged LMS, and the presenter will explain the reasoning for switching from Moodle to Teams. Workarounds for getting the functionality expected of an LMS out of Teams will be provided. This will include an explanation of how to make a dashboard using Microsoft OneNote pages; and how Bookwidgets, an external online content creation tool, can be integrated with Teams to make up for the limited types of learning activities available within Teams. The strengths of Teams, such as its notification system, feedback features, and grade transparency, will be discussed. Weaknesses, notably the lack of an attendance feature and its limited gradebook, will also be addressed, and a possible solution to these issues will be suggested. This presentation may be of most interest to educators whose students already have Microsoft 365 accounts and who are looking for a free LMS option.
