This allows users to invite off-platform friends via a link to join an edX course and be auto-joined to a specific team. Within the homepage of a team, any member of that team can generate an invite link to send to friends via other communication platforms. When opened, the user is led through the sign-up process, auto-added to the course, and then auto-added to the team. This way, new users can begin with instant community (of their real friends). Metrics: proportion of invited users, retention of invited users
Milestone 2b: Language & Location TeamsThis action would allow all cohort users learners to automatically be placed into teams based around preferred language or global location (based on user settings). To ensure appropriately-sized teams, team formation could happen near the course start date, and then new students could be automatically added to the relevant teams. This gets all users initiated in their first team(s) so they can default to having community. Metrics: usage of teams, course engagement
Milestone 2c: Discussions: Introduction Post-TypeA feature-enriched type of discussion post that makes it easier for professors to add an introduction experience to courses and easier for students to connect with peers. The post gets pinned to the top of the discussion posts, each student gets exactly one reply response (and the professor can visualize who has/has not replied), and anyone can comment on the student replies to say a short welcome. Professors can embed the intro post within the context of the course as a block so students know that it exists and is graded (participation). Student retention rates (early in the course and throughout)
Milestone 2d: Intro Post - Teams IntegrationWhen viewing each student reply in an introduction post, the viewing student can also see a list of the posting student's teams. The list allows the viewer to request to join any of the open/semi-private groups. This way, students who share mutual interests can find each other’s teams in the course and connect with each other, via teams, for future communication. Student retention rates (early in the course and throughout), use of teams chat in courses with/without intros and this integration

This initiative is meant to explore the value of augmenting the Teams + Discussions applications (given their interdependence) to function as platform level applications to support community discussions at the platform / site level.
Metrics: Platform learner retention
