Use teams in your course

The Teams feature lets learners form small groups (or be assigned to them) with private discussion topics and a shared identity. For most self-paced Liverpool Dental CPD modules this is overkill — but worth knowing about for cohort programmes.

Not enabled here

The Teams feature is not enabled on the Liverpool Dental Learning Hub. This page is reference for the day it is — raise a request via support@learning.endo360.co.uk if you need it for a cohort programme.

When teams help

• Multi-week cohort programmes (e.g. a postgraduate certificate run).
• Case-based learning where learners discuss a case in a small group.
• Peer-review workflows where you want the same group reviewing each other.

When they hurt

• Self-paced courses where learners arrive at the team-formation page at very different times — teams stay empty.
• Single-author CPD modules with no facilitation.

Setting teams up

1. Studio → Settings → Advanced Settings.
2. Set Teams Configuration to enable, defining team sizes and topics.
3. The Teams tab appears in the LMS course navigation.
4. Learners self-organise into teams (or you assign).

Per-topic discussion

Each team gets a private discussion topic visible only to team members. This is the main day-to-day value of the feature.

Pre-flight check

If you’re not committing to facilitating teams for the duration of the course, leave the feature off. An empty Teams page is a worse user experience than no Teams page.
