Solution: Microsoft Teams for Education Solution
Summary
Communication Square is driven by its need to bridge technological gaps and help companies adopt the Microsoft cloud without hassle. With COVID having forced schools to close their doors across the globe, the prospect of academic disruption in Pakistan motivated us to make a difference at this tough time. The overnight dive into digital learning was an uphill task considering the traditional education mechanism being used in Pakistan. FAST NUCES, a prestigious university with five campuses across Pakistan, needed to establish digital learning solution urgently to reduce the impact of COVID-19 interruption. Due to the partial lockdowns, we resorted to remote demo of Microsoft Teams for over forty-five participants of faculty and department heads of prospective clients. We submitted Scope of Work documenting the support services, core, and advanced features of the proposed Microsoft Teams for Education solution.
