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, screen sharing, and collaboration on files.

Microsoft Teams

  1. To access Microsoft Teams, go to my.jh.edu.
  2. Under Messaging select Teams.
