Set up an MS Teams group for your Canvas course – and synchronise the student list via MS PowerAutomate
MS Teams has its advantages for teaching. If I have to teach online (rather than face-to-face), I prefer to do so via MS Teams. I also run my office hours online via MS Teams and use a ClassNotebook in OneNote via MS Teams. However, a big challenge typically is the synchronisation of your student membership. Typically, students enrolling in a course become members of my Canvas shell through which we publish our course content. Since there is no easy way to then synchronise that student list with MS Teams, I developed an automation in MS PowerAutomate years ago (during
Stepping down from the MelBIM committee
In 2015, we founded MelBIM, a not-for-profit group consisting of Building Information Modelling (BIM)-focused industry professionals and academics based in Melbourne, Australia. MelBIM sought to bring together the built environment community of Victoria, to share and exchange thoughts and knowledge relating to technology and innovation across the AEC+FM industry, with a particular focus on BIM. After 39 events with more than 150 industry presentations across approximately 9 years, I decided to step down from the MelBIM committee. Having helped start MelBIM as a founding committee member, it has been an interesting and rewarding journey where I was
