What’s the difference between a team and a channel?

Teams are made up of channels, which are the conversations you have with your classmates or lecturers. For every module you are attending, you will be a member of that Team.

Channels are where text, audio, and video conversations open to the whole team happen, and where files are shared.

While channel conversations are public, chats are just between you and someone else (or a group of people).

What does it mean to be @mentioned?

A @mention is a way to get your attention in a channel conversation or chat. When your lecturer or classmate @mentions you, you get a notification in your Activity feed, and you also see a number next to the channel or chat you were @mentioned in. Click the notification to go directly to the point in the conversation where they mentioned you.
