Attention Instructors: Microsoft Teams Integration with Avenue to Learn
-
It has come to our attention that there is an issue with Microsoft Teams Course Connector, which creates Teams from the enrolment of Avenue courses.
This issue impacts ONLY people who wish to have the sectioning in Avenue to Learn applied to their Microsoft Teams. We discovered this bug on August 25, and reported it the same day to the developer of the Microsoft Teams Course Connector, Shuffle Labs. Since then,we have been in daily contact with our representative to urge them to develop a solution for this issue. Unfortunately, we do not have a firm date to fix the issue. At this point we have escalated this issue to our account management.
As soon as we have a date when the fix will be applied, we will share this with you. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions please submit a support request.
