I am using Teams, OneNote (Class Notebook) and Sharepoint discussion board to organize content for two classes at Metropolitan State University of Denver. The Class Notebook has essentially replaced Powerpoint (lecture slides) and random Word documents for class notes. I wish the document editor in OneNote was better, but it works.

 

Teams is pretty good with a couple main limitations:

- Right now I'm looking to use our institution's Blackboard for the gradebook only because I can't figure out how to get Teams to show students their grades correctly. There's no student view (so I can see what they see) and I've seen straight up discrepancies between what I can see for a student and what they see. This sucks because of the time constraint of needing two platforms.

- The other major limitation is I'm using SharePoint for my discussion board, but there's no way to link that discussion board to Teams. Seems like there should be a custom tab available at the top of the channel to allow a hyper link to any desired address.

 

A couple thoughts.

    Thanks for the response, Rich_Th . Does it not work if you add a website tab and enter the SharePoint hyperlink in that?
