| + | == '''MS Teams: Tips and Training ''' == |
| + | |
| + | By now, tools from the M365 suite are being deployed in departments and agencies across the GC and we are all getting accustomed to their benefits, especially MS Teams – one of the new solution’s most useful features. |
| + | For those who want to learn their way around MS Teams and for those who want to do a deeper dive into how Teams can support your work, we have put together some helpful resources. |
| + | |
| + | === Microsoft Support and Training === |
| + | |
| + | Microsoft offers extensive training on MS Teams, including a library of training videos on an array of topics found [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/microsoft-teams-video-training-4f108e54-240b-4351-8084-b1089f0d21d7 here] including: |
| + | |
| + | *Quick Start |
| + | *Collaborate in Teams and Channels |
| + | *Work With Posts and Messages |
| + | *How to Start Chats and Calls” |
| + | |
| + | If you prefer written support, Microsoft offers a series of [http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/9/F/D9FE8B9E-22F5-47BF-A1AB-09539C41FCD0/Teams%20QS.pdf Guides] that provide step by step support. You can bookmark them or print them for future reference as you use MS Teams. |
| | | |
− | [[FR:GC_Télétravail/Accueil/M365]] | + | They also have specific help on certain topics including a [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/tips-for-better-meetings-80640ac4-b009-42ea-abcb-660e729e63e5 Tips for Better Meetings] video along with companion step-by-step instructions. |
| + | |
| + | === GCcollaboration.ca Wiki === |
| + | |
| + | There is a GC-grown source for M365 and Teams support, which includes training resources of all kinds. The [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/M365/Home/Teams wiki] features an array of virtual training sessions, videos, quick guides, articles, webinars, podcasts and an interactive demo. There is also access to a Microsoft-based discussion board where you can gain insights from fellow Teams users from around the world. This content continues to evolve so check back often. |
| + | |
| + | === Departmental Support === |
| + | |
| + | Due to variations in features used by each department and agency, it is best to check with your own IT department or CIO to find out what training and resources are available for your M365 to you. |
| + | |
| + | The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has shared [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/M365/Home/Teams/Departmental_Resources some of their departmental resources] which you may find helpful. |

| + | == '''Moving Forward with M365''' == |
| | | |
− | '''My Department has rolled out M365, is this GCcollaboration?'''
| + | |
| + | By now, most across the GC are using new tools to work remotely. Microsoft 365 (M365) has been introduced across most of the GC, with each Department and Agency customizing its own deployment. |
| | | |
− | Not necessarily, some departments were already using M365 in their own departmental tenant, or were able to accelerate their plans to do so. Check with your CIO team to find out more about your organizations status with M365.
| + | The M365 roll out may look different from organization to organization at the user level. This is due to careful planning in CIO offices who weigh various factors to plan their department’s introduction to M365. Different features are enabled for use by some, with others choosing a different set of tools. |
| | | |
− | How long will this be in place and will I have access to M365 after the crisis has passed and I am able to return to work?
| + | Factors for these decisions include the size and location of the department or agency, security considerations, the nature of the work they do, their document and information management requirements and network capacity. |
− | The GC has special access through the temporary M365 tenant, GC Collaboration, for the duration of our need to telework. We expect this situation to be adjusted as we make the move back to our more regular work circumstances. Most Departments and Agencies will likely move to their own Departmental tenant and SSC will work closely with them on this transition. Watch this space for updates as the situation evolves.
| |
| | | |
| + | In addition, prior to the onset of Covid-19 and our changed work requirements, many departments and agencies were already proceeding with their M365 implementation, while others were planning their move to M365 further into the future. Plans obviously changed for all in the GC, with CIOs adjusting their schedules and decisions. |
| + | |
| + | But with M365, and Teams the most used new tools, there are several options for learning about Teams’ features and applications across the GC that are helpful to all; no matter how your organization chooses to use M365. |
| + | |
| + | To start, seek out the training, coaching available through your own Department or Agency. Most have an array of M365 training and support in place that best fits their own needs. |
| + | |
| + | Next, there is a training portal, [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/M365 here you] where you'll find a collection of various M365-related training products. You can click on a variety of tools to get started by application (Teams, Planner, OneNote) and by training material type (virtual training, guides, videos and infographics). |
| + | |
| + | There is also the “Clicks and Tips” grassroots community on GCcollab, with users from across the GC, with an increasing focus on M365 content. It has plenty of relevant and helpful discussions, posts and information. You can find [https://gccollab.ca/groups/profile/4590555 Clicks and Tips here]. |
| + | |
| + | Dive in and learn more about M365 soon. |
