On 4 January 2021, the DVC: Teaching, Learning and Technology announced that students will continue with remote blended teaching and learning from 6 January 2021. In November 2020 TUT announced that the online communication tool, Collaborate Ultra used in myTUTor will no longer be available for Learning Management System users. Students have been using Microsoft Office 365 applications (APPs) for an extended time. As these APPs are free and available for both staff and students as part of TUT’s Premium license agreement, MS Teams will be the preferred platform starting from 4 January 2021.
