Due Dates for Assignments (school's edition)
I'm not sure if I landed in the right place, but I have a suggestion to make. As a user of Teams in a school, I experienced lots of people forgetting to hand in assignments because they disappear in the deep of the assignments tool and absolutely no one thinks about it. I had the idea that there should be an option to enable notification for Assignments to be handed in by the time teachers ask and request the students to hand them in. Also calendar integration (in the Teams and Outlook-calendar, as a reminder). Example: French-teacher assigns a reading-task via the assignments tool and sets the due date for Wednesday, July 1st at 6pm. The assignment arrives to the students and it automatically goes into the calendar of the students. It automatically creates an appointment on that day at 6pm (due date) and sets the reminder one day before. So, on June 29, the student gets a notification like this: "Hey /Brian/, you have an assignment "Reading" for French class due tomorrow. Don't forget!" Would that be possible?
Suggestion for improved Planner Integration
Using Planner Tasks has become an essential part of how our team organizes our work and having it inside teams is great. However, there is one annoyance I would love to be improved. Every time I move away from the Tasks tab, whether within a channel or to a different channel, my filters and view get reset. So even if I'm jumping between Posts and Tasks related to a single piece of work, I have to filter my tasks every time return to the Planner Tasks tab. Please add the ability (maybe as a setting) to return to the last filter or view when opening Planner Tasks. Maybe this is simply a Planner issue. I did notice that Planner doesn't do this when closing and reopening it on the web. So maybe pass this on to them. It's the most frustrating part of working with Teams and Planner for me.
