Meeting with Team Members
Can I reserve a room to meet with my team?
There are
several Group Study rooms available for students. Rooms are
equipped with either a permanent computer or a Ethernet network
connection for laptops, in addition to wireless coverage. Students
can
reserve Group Study rooms on-line (iMpact login required) for
periods of 3 hours up to two weeks in advance.
TeamSpot Collaboration Rooms
are
available in Kresge. TeamSpot is a new collaborative technology from Tidebreak
allowing team members to instantly work together on documents by
actually linking their computers. These rooms can be reserved from
the
Student Room Reservation system - a new room type, “TeamSpot Collaboration Room,” has been added to
the dropdown list.
Where are the best locations to use wireless at Ross?

Signal strength will
vary and may be blocked by concrete pillars, elevator
shafts, doors, etc. Visit the
Wireless Status page to check
signal strength in various areas of the Business School.
Are there maps to help me find my way around the Business School?
Maps of the Ross School of Business
complex can be found in stairwells and near exterior doors in each
building. Kiosks are stationed near main entrances with maps,
daily events and contact information for faculty and staff.
Online maps are also available in
My iMpact.
What is TeamSpot and how can I use it?
Team Spot is a new collaborative technology from Tidebreak
allowing team members will be able to instantly work together on documents by
using Team Spot to link computers wirelessly. Team Members use
their own laptops and share documents and applications on one screen.
Team Spot Collaboration Rooms are available in Kresge and can be reserved from
the
Student Room Reservation system - a new room type, “TeamSpot Collaboration Room,” has been added to

How can I collaborate with my team if we cannot meet in person?
Can my team use CTools to help manage our project?
CTools is not just for course
management. A member of your team can create a project site
and give rights to all members of the team. You can post
announcements to each other, include a chat room to the site, post
documents, etc. Visit
CTools and review the Help link for
details on how to create your own Team Project site.
Can my team conduct an online meeting?
How can I share files with my teammates?
There are a number of ways you can
share files with your team:
|
 |
You and your team members could email
the files to each other, so be sure your uniqname@umich.edu
email address is forwarding to an account you check regularly.
Also be certain you are using your uniqname@umich.edu email address in
My iMpact.
Please note that you cannot send attachments through the Student
Directory in iMpact. |
|
 |
If you use your ITCS email account, you
cannot send attachments that are over 2MB. To share large
files, store them in the Shared or Public folders in your IFS space (or
set permissions to a newly created folder) and your team
members can use
mFile to access that folder and its files. |
|
 |
USB drives (popularly called Flash
drives or thumb drives) are an affordable and convenient way to
transport and share files. Students can purchase USB drives
through the
UM
Computer Showcase. |
|
 |
Use our
Office Communications Server (OCS) with Live
Meeting to chat, share files
and conduct audio/video conferences. |
|
 |
You can create a Project Worksite in
CTools. Visit the Help topics
for instructions. |
