The Teams Course Connector allows Brock instructors to quickly create Teams sites using a widget in Brightspace. The Teams Connector will create a new Teams site that includes all students, TAs, instructors, and other course staff listed in the Brightspace Classlist area.

Step 1: Change to a Teams-Course-Connector-enabled Homepage
After opening a Brightspace site in which you have an Instructor role, open Course Tools from the Navbar and then select Course Admin.
Click Homepages.
Open the Active Homepage dropdown and then select a Homepage that includes Teams Course Connector.
Click Apply.
Step 2: Use the Teams Course Connector to create a site
Allow at least 30 minutes for the new Teams site to be fully created, as not all features become available immediately. For larger courses, this time may increase.
After switching to a Teams-Course-Connector-enabled Homepage, the Teams Course Connector widget will become available to the instructor at the bottom of the Brightspace site’s Homepage.
Click Create Course Team to begin.
Optionally create separate Teams sites for separate course sections
Activate Create a team for each section to create a Teams site which includes the enrollment of each Section that’s listed within the Brightspace site. See the Sections area of the Brightspace site for information about available Sections.
This option will always create a principal Teams site as well as additional Teams sites for each Section that’s present within the site, even if only one Section is present in Brightspace.
