Microsoft 365 Apps
Teams
Chat, meet, call, share files, and more with Microsoft Teams. Teams allows for your group to interact by discussion pages, share documents with one another, hold video conferencing meetings, and provides a OneDrive group file repository. Add on the apps you need like Office Online, forms, and many other applications.

OneDrive
OneDrive is an online file storage service that enables sharing and collaboration. It's free for students, faculty, and staff on campus. Think of it as a hard drive in the cloud, with features to “sync” your files to your computer, share files with others, and more.

Bookings
Microsoft Bookings lets your clients schedule time with you, without the back and forth of trying to coordinate a meeting time over email. You can set your available hours and link it to your Outlook calendar, and your clients will be able to select from only your available hours. Bookings allows for multiple meeting types and lengths, let’s you offer your colleague’s schedules too from the same page, works with zoom and other remote conferencing tools, and has automatic reminders for everyone.

Office Online
Most of us are used to using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as software installed on our desktop computers. Office Online lets you use these three tools through the browser, rather than having to install software on your computer. Collaborate in real-time with others to work on documents together!

Planner
Microsoft Planner is a project management application with Office 365. Users and their teams can use Planner to create and assign tasks, discuss them and track the progress of what has been completed. While Microsoft To Do is better for lists of individual tasks, Microsoft Planner is better for larger projects with multiple related subtasks leading to a common goal.

Project
Microsoft Project is an advanced project management application. Plan the tasks that make up a project, and then view the tasks as a Gantt Chart, Grid view, Timeline, or Board views. Collaborate with others on your project by sharing edit access and assigning tasks and deadlines.
