title: Perceived usability evaluation of Microsoft Teams as an online learning platform during COVID 19 using system usability scale and technology acceptance model in India
abstract: The COVID 19 pandemic has resulted in a physical shutdown of all types of educational institutes worldwide due to which the education delivery has now shifted to an "online only" exclusivity model. In this perspective, perceived usability of the online learning platforms that are currently being used is an important aspect, especially due to the absence of any physical classes. In this work Microsoft Teams is used as the reference platform for which the perceived usability is evaluated. For the evaluation purpose a dual strategy is followed by using the System Usability Scale (SUS) which is a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) based approach, and a modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which is an Information Systems (IS) based approach. Although both these instruments are popular in their respective domains, yet they have not been considered simultaneously in one work for the purpose of usability evaluation. By doing so, this work attempts to streamline and unify the process of usability evaluation. Results that are obtained from a large scale survey of university students show the similarity and equivalency between the two methodologies, with the Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) construct of TAM having greater similarity with SUS. Moreover, this work also considers the digital divide aspect (mobile vs. web environment) that is prevalent particularly in developing countries like India, and whether it has any effect on the perceived usability. Results show that the consumption platform does not have any effect on the usability aspect.

title: Keep calm and carry on learning: using Microsoft Teams to deliver a medical education programme during the COVID 19 pandemic
abstract: The outbreak of COVID 19 in the UK in March 2020 required a radical remodelling of the medical workforce at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust to prepare for the anticipated surge of hospital admissions. The provision of relevant teaching and training was immediately identified as a priority, particularly for staff due to work outside their regular medical specialty. Rather than deliver face to face teaching, doctors at the Trust utilised Microsoft Teams, an online communications and collaboration platform, to deliver a multi disciplinary Trust wide education programme responsive to the needs of surveyed medical staff. To date members of 18 departments across the Trust have delivered 51 virtual teaching sessions which have been viewed 3,814 times. During this pandemic the virtual education programme has facilitated rapid dissemination of new information and provided a platform for discussion and unity amongst colleagues with overwhelmingly positive feedback from both learners and teachers.

title: Exploring EFL Students' Perception of Online Learning via Microsoft Teams: University Level in Indonesia
abstract: An internet connection has been crucial in the era of globalization to enhance human activities in various activities of economic, culture, defense, and many others, especially in the EFL classroom setting. Microsoft Teams as an innovative online learning platform provides unique features to enhance its potential to help EFL teachers to conduct better interaction as well learning environment in online learning. This research aimed at exploring students' perceptions of online learning via Microsoft Teams. The study was conducted with twenty eight sixth semester students at Open University (Universitas Terbuka UPBJJ Jember) Data were collected by using questionnaires to gain information about the EFL students' perception of online learning via Microsoft Teams. The questionnaire was distributed to the students through Google forms after all materials in online learning had been conducted. The questionnaires data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The finding of the research revealed that online learning via Microsoft Teams is categorized as something new for the students but this interaction and learning environment motivated students in participating online learning, as a result, they can easier to comprehend the learning materials.

title: Microsoft Teams Overview
abstract: These days, communication needs are frequently changing because of the modern workforce, which has evolved to be more focused on team contributions than those of an individual. As technology creates remote and global teams, all users must be able to connect. Microsoft Teams provides all that the modern workforce requires, such as a unified conversation platform where team members can have an open chat, voice, and video calls with optimal call quality and collaboration through content sharing. Teams is a single product that also offers a complete meeting solution, supporting sharing, voice, and video conferencing, allowing users to meet from anywhere. Users can use Teams for all types of meetings spontaneous or scheduled, formal or informal with internal and external participants.

title: Rapid implementation of Microsoft Teams in response to COVID 19: one acute healthcare organisation's experience
abstract: COVID 19 presented significant challenges to healthcare organisations, which needed to rapidly remodel their services but were unable to allow staff to meet face to face to minimise infection risk. During this communication predicament, National Health Service (NHS) Digital announced the provision of Microsoft Teams, a digital communication and collaboration tool, which was implemented at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust within 2 weeks.  Given the need to deploy at scale, rapidly and with minimal resource, an agile decentralised innovation management approach was used, empowering staff to be local implementors.  Resulting use cases were highly original and varied, ranging from a COVID 19 Education Programme to coordination of oxygen demand. Analytics showed rapid and persistent adoption, surpassing 500 daily active users within 11 days. Usage continues to increase, consistent with a direct network effect.  These findings suggest a high demand for this format of communication and high willingness to adopt it. Further qualitative research into staff perceptions would be valuable to confirm this, and to assess the user experience. Overall, this has been a radical approach to digital implementation in healthcare, and has so far proved effective in delivering a cost minimal, rapid communication tool at scale in the midst of a global pandemic.

title: An Evaluation of Zoom and Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing Software with Network Packet Loss and Latency
abstract: Video conferencing is an increasingly important form of communication, but there are few studies on how network quality affects new conferencing services. We studied Zoom and Microsoft Teams, video conferencing tools targeted towards businesses. Our user study had users rate their experiences during simulated normal conversation with network latencies and packet drop. Our study found that the network conditions did not significantly change user ratings, but Zoom had higher ratings than Microsoft Teams overall. Analysis of our benchmarking results showed that although network traffic for both services varied with network conditions, Zoom had a more constant bitrate than Teams which aligned with the responses received in the user study.
