Microsoft Office includes Copilot – a generativ AI-tool. All students at Lund University can log in to Copilot using their student account. Remember that your teachers may not allow you to use a generative AI tool in relation to your assignment.

Teams is a tool that is integrated in Canvas and which can be used for chatting and to hold digital meetings. It can also be integrated with other Office 365 tools in order to create a collaboration space for group works, that is to say a place where you can keep files and store notes that everyone in the group has access to.
You can continue reading Canvas’ student guide to find out how to proceed if you’re invited to a Teams meeting or if you want to create a meeting yourself using Canvas' text editing tool.
