Hi all, I have raised a Microsoft feedback request asking for the Teams Assignments button in Teams to be renamable at tenant level. Who knows whether Microsoft will listen or not, although I did have some success with a Sway-related request I submitted a couple of years ago, so it is worth a try. For me, this is mainly a UK education terminology issue. I think Google got this right with Google Classroom. The name immediately makes sense to staff, pupils and parents. In our schools, Assignments is much bigger than the name suggests. It is not just homework or a one-off task area. It can effectively become the digital classroom space where staff share work, collect evidence, give feedback and manage learning activity. In the UK, I think many schools would more naturally call this Classroom, Classwork or Learning Activities. “Assignments” feels quite US-focused and can make the feature sound narrower than it really is, which can affect staff understanding and adoption. For MATs especially, being able to set this wording centrally would help keep language consistent across schools and make Teams easier to explain to staff, pupils and parents. I would be interested to know what others think. Do you find the term Assignments works well in your schools, or does it create confusion with staff, pupils or parents? If you could rename it, what would you call it? Please vote or comment on the Microsoft feedback item if you agree: Allow renaming of Assignments at a tenant level. · Community
