Student Meeting and Collaboration Tools

Johns Hopkins Engineering provides course collaboration tools for students. We recommend using Zoom (web conferencing platform) or Microsoft Teams (chat and meeting app similar to Slack).

All students have access to these tools.

Microsoft Teams is more flexible for collaboration than Zoom but both enable students to connect remotely with features for messaging, video meetings, screensharing, and collaboration on files.

Microsoft Teams

1. To access Microsoft Teams, go to my.jh.edu
2. Under Technology select Office 365 Portal
   
   
3. Click on Teams
   
   
4. There are two places to collaborate and connect: Chat and Teams
   • Chat: Click on the pencil and paper icon and enter the name(s) of people at JHU with which you would like to connect. Their name and email will autofill.
     
   • Teams: If you are a member of an existing Team you can click on one of the channels in the Team and connect.
