Group chat and collaboration in Team
Now that students have access to Microsoft 365, staff can share files with students for collaborative co-editing, regardless of whether a Teams site is used in the course.

Enhanced access to student headshots

Course Insights, UQ's course-level learning analytics dashboard, is available to all Course Coordinators via Learn.UQ (Blackboard). Identify disengaged students according to set criteria and contact them via email through the Students section.
Exam resources for students
To prepare your students for exams, Course Coordinators are encouraged to share exam resources, including AskUs, practice exams and instructional guides on Inspera assessment.
