We are so excited to share about the availability of Microsoft Teams LTI apps in Blackboard. With learners and instructors using Microsoft Teams we are committed to providing a platform that is always evolving with the needs of both students and teachers. This Anthology Blackboard integration will enable instructors to assign teams for their courses, engage their students through threaded conversations, provide feedback on assignments, as well as chat and meetings.
Now you can make the most of your hybrid learning setup with your organization’s existing Blackboard Learning Management System and Microsoft Teams. Teams LTI apps are now integrated with Blackboard, meaning that any instructor or student in a course will be able to access, schedule and manage Meetings from their LMS app itself. It combines Microsoft’s collaboration and productivity tools with the power of your LMS capabilities, to deliver an unparalleled classroom experience.
