Learning Resources

Throughout the duration of your course you may be required to use Microsoft Teams to access online lessons, share work and communicate with your tutor.

To help you with Microsoft Teams we've produced some quick and useful guides to get you started:

Watch 'Overview of MS Teams'

Watch 'Accessing Office 365 and MS Teams via Student Hub'
