Microsoft Teams is a powerful communication app for institutions that enhances collaboration and learning. Video collaboration, chat, assignments, class materials, and notes are all built into the app, and it’s free with a valid, active institution email address.
As a student of NIC, you can access Microsoft Teams to join your virtual classroom hosted by your NIC instructors.
