TeamBuilder is a tool for matching students into teams efficiently allowing you to stage students into teams before clicking Finalize Teams. Staging a student does not send an email to that student. Only clicking Finalize Teams adds the student to the project and sends an email notification Students can be added from bidding results or directly from your student roster. Watch the video below or read on for step by step instructions on how to use it! For instructions on how to use Bidding in EduSourced, click here.

TeamBuilder Table Color Coding
Staged students: have a yellow background. They will not have access to the project or receive an email notification until Finalize Teams button is clicked.
Any students already placed on a project appear with a white background.
You can remove students from their staging by the X. Removed students are staged for removal, have a red background but are only removed from the project when Finalize Teams is clicked.
When you are ready to add your staged students to their projects, click “Finalize Teams”. Students will receive the standard added to team email notification (and welcome email if they haven’t already received it) and gain access to the project.
