Brightspace users with a Microsoft Teams license will now be able to seamlessly transition between both tools with the Microsoft Teams – Course Connector. This integration combines the strength and versatility of Brightspace as a learning platform with the power of Microsoft Teams to bring people together as colleagues and co-learners.

For example, user enrolments will now be automatically synchronised between the two platforms. Also, Brightspace users will be able to create private channels for course sections and link back to their course homepage through a tab in Microsoft Teams.
