Homepage channel in course team
The Homepage channel in a course team is the course team's SharePoint page. It is equivalent to a dashboard LMS. However, we do not use the Homepage in Teams at UQ because we have Learn.UQ (Blackboard) as our LMS for course materials, assessment, etc.
Due to a bug on the Homepage, the course team's SharePoint is not connected automatically. This guide provides instructions on activating the Homepage channel and SharePoint in a course team.
- Access your MS Teams app.
- Access your course team.
- Click on the Homepage channel.
- An error message will be displayed.
- Click on the General channel.
- Click on the Files tab (to enable the class team's SharePoint). It looks like nothing is happening.
- If you wait a bit longer, an error message will be displayed. But you do not need to wait until you see the message.
- Click on the Homepage channel.
- A Setting things up message is displayed.
- The Homepage channel will be ready.
- Click on the General channel.
- Click on the Files tab.
- The folder Class Materials will be available.
Note: This is a read-only folder for teaching staff to upload files that students can download for their assessment but not edit to the original file.
- Click on the Class Materials folder.
- Files uploaded to this folder will be read-only.
Please refer to the guide General channel in course team to change the settings of the General channel.
