Following the successful launch of MS Teams and Exchange Online for faculty and staff, Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online and OneDrive will be made available to students this spring.
Through offering these services, the project hopes to provide a more robust set of tools to UFV students, enhancing their remote learning experiences and creating more collaborative opportunities.
Details:
Exchange Online will replace the current student email platform, Zimbra. Exchange Online is the new email platform for faculty and staff, and is a more modern platform that is mobile-friendly and provides enhanced cyber security and information protection.
MS Teams will be available for use, alongside Blackboard, to provide additional collaborative opportunities between students as well as between faculty and students.
Students are currently using OneDrive for information sharing, however the information is housed in the US. OneDrive for students will be migrated to be housed in Canada, to ensure all our students’ information is stored appropriately.
