Some sessions, like seminars or small group work, might take place online. You’ll join these live sessions using Microsoft Teams. Your lecturer will tell you where to find the links in Blackboard.
What do I need to do before joining my first live online session?
Software
- Microsoft Teams session can be accessed via apps available for Windows, Mac and mobile devices. Visit the Download Microsoft Teams page to download the right app for you.
Hardware
- You will have a better audio and visual experience in a live online session by joining on a PC or laptop. To improve your experience, you should use headphones with a microphone, such as those you get with a mobile phone or a headset mic. If you do not have these, then a simple pair of headphones will help to reduce audio feedback.
- Set yourself up in a quiet and comfortable environment with a good internet connection.
