Other new features in MS Teams include increasing the meeting limit to up to 1000 active participants, the ability to get feedback from students directly after class, or the addition of assignments and work directly to the calendar.
It is now possible to hold meetings for up to 1000 active participants. Their possibilities do not limit them, just as before, each participant can turn on the microphone and talk, use chat, respond or share content. However, you need to have an A3 license for these meetings, which you can quickly get by clicking in your INET. Take a look at the other individual limits in Teams.
In order to improve your teaching, it is important to get feedback from students. In a class team, you can use the new Reflect application, which collects students' opinions directly after the end of the lesson.
And how can you add it? Simply through the New Team Conversation, click on the three dots (Message Extension), and enter Reflect. Then select the desired question and send it.
Are you frightened when sharing a form or quiz URL with its length? It doesn't have to. This is because the Shorten URL check box is now available when sharing. More information can be found in the instruction here.
TIP
We have our universal shortener of long URL addresses at the university, which is available in the Portal and creates abbreviated links in the format https://muni.cz/go/_abbreviation_.
Do you use the Assignment feature when working with students? You will appreciate the novelty, thanks to which you can add this Assignment as an event to students' calendars. This can be either as an Assignment with everything or as a reminder that they have a job/task to submit.
As of 1 August 2024, the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop licence, which was previously available to all MU employees and students, will no longer be available at Masaryk University. As an alternative, we recommend switching to the more modern ArcGIS Pro, which offers a modern user interface, greater stability, more advanced features and better user support.
