Azure Dev Tools For Teaching

About Azure Dev Tools for Teaching

The Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching program (formerly Microsoft Imagine and Microsoft DreamSpark) allows students in ITC courses to have access to a variety of Microsoft software tools including:

• Windows 10
• Windows Server
• System Center Configuration Manager
• Visual Studio
• Microsoft Access
• Microsoft SQL Server

...and many other Microsoft products. Note: Microsoft Office is specifically NOT part of Azure Dev Tools for Teaching but Inver Hills does provide another way for all students to get Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus.

Accessing Azure Dev Tools for Teaching

On February 13, 2019 Microsoft changed the method for accessing Azure Dev Tools for Teaching. We are still working with Microsoft on a way to automatically authenticate you without the need for you to create a separate account (like the old system). Until Microsoft is able to make changes to their system to allow for single-sign-on (SSO) you will need to follow a number of steps to gain access to the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching software library.

1. Make sure you have an inverhills.edu email address and are able to access it! These are NOT created for you automatically by the college. If you do NOT already have an inverhills.edu email address you can access follow these instructions to get one:
