How to Use the Teams Portal

Get Started with 5 Simple Steps

1. Create a team and enter basic information like team name.
2. Invite people to become members by entering individual emails or a bulk list.
3. Browse online learning options from nearly 10 websites.
4. Select the resources you want team members to complete and click on team member names to assign them.
5. Add a target date for completion, if needed.

Other features include the ability to:

• Monitor the progress of your team members.
• Generate an excel spreadsheet that lists all team members and provides start and completion dates of the assigned resources.
• Email updates or reminders to your team members directly from the portal.
• Change target dates whenever needed.
• Add other people with Teams Portal Administrator access to help you manage the team invitations, assignments, and tracking.
• Create multiple teams if working with different districts, buildings, or teams.

How Do District, Building, and Team Staff Members Access the Training

1. Instruct the staff members who will participate in the training to set up an account on OCALI.org using their work email.
2. Once you have set up a team and invited them, they will receive the email invitation from support@ocali.org.

3. Team members will also receive an email notification when you have assigned online learning to them. It will show up in the My Learning Plan when they log into the site.

   Note: Organizational firewalls sometimes block automated emails coming from different servers. If staff members do not receive emails from support@ocali.org, instruct them to go directly to their My Learning Plan on OCALI.org and view all notifications there.
