Microsoft Education Integration
ID&D KB How-to Guide
Working together to enhance teaching & learning. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to the ID&D team.
The Microsoft Integration in MyClasses adds functionality for Teams Meetings, Assignments, Collaborations, Modules, and other areas within a course. The integration allows students and instructors to use, create, share and collaborate on Microsoft files within MyClasses as well as use additional Teams features, such as class a class Team site and the creation of Class Notebooks.
Once enabled, faculty can:
create course Teams and Teams Meetings, allowing all users to access the meetings directly from the course
Teams meetings also provide a dynamic roster, showing not only who attended a meeting and for how long, but also the interactions/engagement of each participant
If you record classes or meetings, recordings will live in one place with the Recordings and Files tab
integrate with your OneDrive to share files in your course via a hyperlink or by adding the document as a Module item
create Assignments from document templates in your OneDrive. Students will also be able to submit these assignments directly from their OneDrive.
use the Collaborations tool to create new or upload existing collaborative Word, PowerPoint, or Excel documents that you can assign to specific students or course groups

To enable Microsoft Education in your course:
From within your course:
Go to Settings and click on the Navigation Tab.
Enable Microsoft Education in your course menu by (1) clicking the three vertical dots by the tool name, (2) clicking Enable, and (3) Saving your navigation change.
Click on Microsoft Education for your course menu and log in using your SU credentials if prompted (you may also be prompted to authorize the Microsoft tool the first time you use it on a new browser).
Your first time enabling Microsoft Education in a course, you will see a Welcome window and be prompted to Continue Setup. Click Continue Setup.
From the Microsoft Education Course Settings screen, select which Microsoft tools you want enabled in this course. Note: If you are not sure which tools you want to use, you can select one or two tools you are sure about and return to this screen to enable additional tools later (see step 7). ID&D does not recommend disabling a tool once it has been used in the course (e.g. do not disable the Assignments tool if students have submitted to a OneDrive Assignment in the course).
The Microsoft Education dashboard will display the tools you have chosen to show for use in this course, aside from Assignments, which is integrated into Assignment settings. See our additional guides, linked below, for how to use each of these tools.
If you want to change the tools on your Microsoft Education dashboard, you can click on your User icon at the top right of the window and select Course Settings from the user dropdown menu. This will return you to the Setup screen to adjust your changes (step 5).
TIP: There is a difference between using Collaborations and Once Drive assignments. In Collaborations, everyone assigned to a collaboration can co-edit/author a document in real time. Creating a OneDrive assignment allows each student to have a unique copy of the file created for them in their own OneDrive where they can complete and submit the document as an individual assignment.
