Add a Microsoft Teams meeting to a virtual classroom slot

Once the Microsoft Teams integration is activated on a group you belong to, and you have authorized 360Learning, you can add Microsoft Teams meetings in one click.

2. Scroll down to the Classroom slot

Automated attendance tracking with Microsoft Teams

Once the Microsoft Teams integration is activated on a group, you will have access to automated attendance tracking within that group. Automated attendance tracking gives you access to unique attendance tracking functionalities, click here for more information.

For the automated attendance to work, you will need to use meeting links generated from the 360Learning integration - links that are manually copied into the text box will not work. Also, users must use the same professional email address in 360Learning and Zoom/Microsoft Teams, and be logged in with that email to both platforms. Email aliases (ada.lovelace@computer.org and ada.lovelace#genius@computer.org) are considered different email addresses.

Change the attendance threshold

This includes the ability to assign an attendance threshold. Attendance threshold is used to determine the attendance of a learner based on the duration of their attendance and the actual slot duration.

By default, the attendance threshold is 50%. This means that a meeting that is scheduled for 2 hours will require a learner to be present for at least 1 hour to have "attended" the meeting. Learners that did not attend at least 1 hour of the meeting, in this example, are marked as "absent".

Administrators can set a new default value in the Microsoft Teams integration screen. Admins, path instructors, and trainers on the classroom slot can also set the attendance threshold within each classroom slot.
