Why do we need a separate MS Teams account for teaching?
Recommended by Microsoft, we create a teaching account, i.e. t-<CNA>@stu.vtc.edu.hk, for you to communicate/interact with students. On the Teams platform, students can use built-in functions for different class activities.
For security reason, your normal staff account can only be used to communicate with colleagues.
