Due to the pandemic, MFUA had to reorganize its entire educational process as soon as possible and move it online. The university decided to use Microsoft Teams as an educational platform. Teams features many tools for productive and easy interaction - chat, video conferencing, notes, and collaboration on documents. It was important for teachers and students to use a service optimized for mobile devices and enabling swift information exchange to improve learning efficiency.

With Teams, teachers can create tasks for practical and laboratory works, attaching the necessary methodological content for their completion and forming detailed and transparent evaluation criteria. When a student completes the work, the instructor receives a notification. They can evaluate the assignment online, and the comments will be forwarded to the student.
In addition, the platform was used by the university during state exams. Students uploaded their works to their personal accounts and then submitted them for review by the state committee, which joined a dedicated team in Teams. The state exam fully imitated the on-site format. Two rooms were created: one for the students to talk to each other while waiting, and another for the committee, where students were invited in turn to take the exam and defend their thesis. All records from the exam were saved to OneDrive automatically.
"Today, ensuring the educational process continuity is a priority for both of us. That is why Microsoft actively supports various modes of institution operation and, in particular, of their learning processes. We offer solutions for traditional full-time, distance, or hybrid formats. We hope that new tools will allow MFUA to expand the variety of its approaches to educational activities and unlock new opportunities," said Elena Slivko-Kolchik, Head of Science and Education Relations Division at Microsoft Russia.
"The provider's team managed to solve the customer's problems as quickly as possible. They successfully integrated the Microsoft Teams cloud platform with local email servers. To do this, the team analyzed, upgraded, and connected the local email system to the cloud. As a result, they created a solution that allowed us to integrate the calendar with Teams through a hybrid configuration of local email servers. Thus they achieved the goal set by the university - organizing and managing the online education process in a single information environment," says Lyudmila Prudchenko, Softline Key Account Manager for Academic Institutions.
