In a time of digital connections, FACET has created a space for members to connect, share, and collaborate. Microsoft Teams is a new program offered through Indiana University and boasts many features that will enhance the FACET member experience. Some of the potential benefits include:

• Threaded discussions that are easier to track than email; useful for sharing and commenting on resources from others without having to clog up email.
• Organized discussions around threads but also around channels, which further allows for organized collaboration.
• Integration with OneDrive, which is especially useful for those who migrated their Box files to the Microsoft ecosystem.
• Teams can reduce email because it allows for quick text and video based discussions that can help get quick, informal answers to questions/comments without the formality of an email.
• Soon (likely in the spring), there will be a Canvas integration for Teams, which will allow faculty to create teams for their classes to encourage more collaboration with and among students.
