30-Minute Mastery - From Inbox Chaos to Clarity: Enhancing Student Communication with Microsoft Tools

We've all been there: a student's email gets lost in the chaos of your inbox. Whether it's an absence notification that you can't accommodate at the end of the semester or a regrade request that leaves the student feeling unsupported, our busy inboxes can lead to communication breakdowns.

In this workshop, we'll explore how Baylor's Microsoft platform can enhance communication with students. Through the use of Microsoft Forms, Power Automate, and SharePoint, you can create a seamless management system that ensures no student request goes unnoticed. Students will benefit from quicker replies to their queries and requests, and feeling supported as their concerns are addressed promptly. Faculty will benefit by automating routine tasks, freeing up time for teaching and research, keeping communications organized and easily accessible, and maintaining FERPA compliance.
