While more and more teaching is happening digitally – whether as hybrid learning, remote teaching, or a natural extension of the classroom – schools’ IT solutions are often scattered across multiple systems, platforms, and logins.
And right in the middle of it all is Microsoft Teams. Many schools already use it for assignments, files, and communication – but Teams is not, in itself, a school intranet. There’s no homepage. There’s no structure. And there are no specialized features like attendance registration.
That’s exactly the challenge Attender and nGage have teamed up to solve.
In collaboration with nGage and Attender have created a unified solution that transforms Microsoft Teams into a true digital learning environment. This allows schools to bring their existing administrative tools into Teams, centralising all key features in one place for students, teachers, and school staff alike.
In other words, Teams is no longer just a supplement, it becomes your school’s digital classroom, where learning, wellbeing, and structure go hand in hand.
When students and teachers open Teams, they’re welcomed by a visual and user-friendly homepage.
Everything important is right there: schedules, news, attendance, events, and links to other platforms.
The design can be tailored to match your school’s identity with logos, colours, and images so it feels recognisable and professional. You choose what to show and how to prioritise content, so it fits your school’s daily life.
This makes Teams more than just a learning tool – it becomes the digital gateway for the entire school.
Attendance is something every teacher has to manage and with Attender, it’s easier and more accurate.
At the start of each lesson (in-person or online), the teacher opens Attender directly in Teams. A list of students appears, and with just a few clicks, the teacher marks who’s present, sick, or absent for other reasons. Notes and absence reasons can be added as needed.
For online lessons, Attender can automatically log attendance from Teams meetings – fully hands-off!
After class, the teacher receives a report showing who was present or missing.
Students can also view their own attendance history. All data is stored securely and accessible for school administrators.
On a busy school day, it’s hard to keep track of schedules, tasks, messages, and events – especially across multiple platforms.
TeamsCampus brings it all together. Students and teachers no longer need to jump between their LMS, emails, and scattered links. Instead, they get one unified hub inside Teams, where they can view:
-
Daily schedule and class times
-
Assignment deadlines and task lists
-
Important announcements from the school
-
Latest news and upcoming events
This saves time and reduces stress by giving everyone a clearer picture of what’s happening.
School communication often gets lost, either buried in emails or old notice boards.
With TeamsCampus, school news and announcements appear right on the Teams homepage – exactly where students and teachers already are.
-
Information regarding new school policies
-
Invitations to events
-
Updates from the administration, student council etc.
-
Links to signup or schedule changes
Posts can be targeted to specific grades, classes, or groups, and you control how they’re displayed.
The result is clearer and more visible communication that actually gets noticed and acted upon.
And the best part? It all happens in the same system – no extra logins required.
Students see their schedule directly in TeamsCampus which is clearly shown on the homepage and synced with their calendar. That way, they always know what to expect and when.
TeamsCampus also uses Microsoft’s built-in assignment system but presents the tasks in a more student-friendly way. Deadlines, priorities, and outstanding tasks are easy to view and manage.
For teachers, this makes planning and tracking assignments easier without needing additional tools.
The result is better structure for students and a more connected learning experience.
Microsoft Teams is a flexible platform – and TeamsCampus makes it easy to plug in the tools your school needs, such as:
-
Quiz apps like Kahoot or Forms
-
Wellbeing tools like Microsoft Reflect
-
AI-based support for writing and language
-
Links to learning portals, books, and teaching materials
This means you’re not locked into one solution – you choose what adds value to your school’s learning environment.
TeamsCampus pulls it all together, so even if you use many other tools, it feels like one single, coherent system.
The student starts their school day by opening Microsoft Teams – and instead of a blank screen, they land on the school’s new digital hub: a clear and intuitive homepage, designed by Ngage.
Here they’ll find today’s lessons, assignments, and key announcements.
With just a few clicks, students can check their attendance stats in Attender and get a motivating overview of their attendance.
Meanwhile, teachers can register attendance directly in Teams – whether the class is in person or online.
For video lessons, Attender automatically logs who’s present.
For physical classes, the teacher can easily register attendance manually with everything all synced in one place. Read more about Attender in Teams here!
School administrators also gain access to reports and insights – without switching between systems.
Why does it make a difference?

- Intuitive experience for students and teachers

- Less admin work and fewer manual tasks
- Supports hybrid learning and modern school operations
