So as we\u2019re learning about the value of a multimodal learning environment for students that blends synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences, we\u2019re looking to a video conferencing software with deeply embedded surveillance functionality as a solution. This isn\u2019t to say that individual instructors aren\u2019t doing incredible things with Teams \u2014 I know they are, I see it everyday. But I worry about a tool that has been designed first and foremost as a corporate solution by a company with a poor track record on data privacy, leaping into the learning management game in the middle of a crisis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Having spent a lot of time in the last couple of months in Teams this was interesting.
