How do I set SAM Learning Tasks on Microsoft Teams?

If your school uses Microsoft Teams, this is how you can link your SAM Learning Task in.

(If you're not sure how to create a class on MS Teams, click here.)

Firstly, save this text on your desktop (insert your school's Centre ID, in place of the XXXXX) ready to copy (ctrl-c) when you log a homework online:

I have set you some work to do on SAM Learning. Click here:

https://platform.samlearning.com/learner/learner-home/homework

Our Centre ID is: XXXXX

Your username is DoB & Initials: DDMMYYII

Ask your teacher if you need your password reset.

Secondly - set your SAM Learning Task as usual, from the Set Tasks Tab.

Finally, log into your Microsoft Teams account and paste the above text for your class as a message (or you can just email it to your learners).

It's as easy as that - now you can get on with your other work until SAM Learning does your marking for you and emails you the results!

Alternatively...

If you want to link to a specific activity, without setting it as a task, each activity has its own URL - the link icon found in the top right when viewing an activity:

N.B. This is the same link you can get from out topic lists, found using the link on the home page.

You can copy this link and paste it into an MS Teams message - but you won't get a task report back for this.  You might want to use it when suggesting a bundle of activities learners could do when revising.
