Below is a list of our Teams channels that we use for communication. Please be sure you understand what the purpose of the channels are that you have been added to.
Please ensure you understand the guidelines for communication per this page https://cloud.wikis.utexas.edu/wiki/spaces/MADRWiki/pages/97813321/How+to+Work+Independently+and+Problem+Solve+in+a+Research+Lab?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiM2IyNTIwOGIwY2I1NGNmNjlhM2NjNGRlYTFiZjIwMWIiLCJwIjoiYyJ9
In addition to the guidelines above, ensure that messages are not
“stream of consciousness”
avoid sending several messages when you could prepare one comprehensive clear message
as a general rule of thumb, use the channels and not chats for communication to avoid the need to repeat things across channels/groups
when possible/applicable, create a thread with a clear header in order to easily track conversations
always specifically tag the relevant parties to ensure they have been notified
Because we get a high volume of messages, this approach facilitates streamlined communication
It’s essential that you ensure your notifications for each channel that you are an active member of are on so that you are aware of the communication happening and also for when you have been tagged https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/customize-channel-notifications-in-microsoft-teams-c72b8c07-37e1-4a0b-82c9-fdfda04f15b2
