Microsoft Teams
The Data Mine uses Microsoft Team for team communication and collaboration. The Microsoft suite of applications is free for all students. The Data Mine will use MS Teams as mode of chatting as well as video calls for online meetings with mentors.

Accessing your Teams Group
When you register for a Corporate Partners Project, you will automatically be added to a MS Teams channel for that project. It may take about a day to register on the back end so please be patient. If you do not get added after 36 hours, please submit a ticket to [email protected].
Once you are in the MS Team channel, you will also be included in an Outlook email group. This email group keeps the history of all emails exchanged from the associated email group.
|
Sending or replying to any message in this group will send it to the entire team. |
It is within your group that you will find calendar invitations and other team related information. Please read through all emails when first joining the team.
