The ESOL Volunteers Online Community is a Microsoft Teams community built by fellow volunteers for ESOL Volunteers to share tips and tricks, as well as celebrate students' and tutors' wins alike.

Access

The community is on the mit.edu domain.  Should your DLC have its separate domain, using a web browser can allow for more than one Microsoft account to use Teams by navigating to https://teams.microsoft.com/ (be sure to use a browser you are not using for your main account so you don't have to log out).

Please contact the ESOL Coordinators if you do not have a Microsoft Teams account and we will help you create a Microsoft non-MIT Guest GMail Teams account.

Once logged in, you may join at https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/discover with the code you have received from the ESOL Coordinators.

To access the community after joining, navigate to the "Teams" button on the left navigation bar.
