Het aankomende jaar staat er weer veel te veranderen voor Live@EDU. Op de amerikaanse blog staat een artikel over een aantal veranderingen voor het programma. Een van de belangrijkste is dat SharePoint Online!!! onderdeel gaat worden van het programma. Daarnaast wordt de Office Web Apps (Excel, Word, PowerPoint en Onenote online) ook beschikbaar!
New collaboration opportunities
We are also announcing new SharePoint Online-based collaboration and productivity services will be available for students as part of the Live@edu next year. These new SharePoint-based services will offer IT departments more flexibility and control to set up and manage their school’s collaboration and productivity tools in a security-enhanced environment…as well as the ability to access and manage permissions to sites, documents and content (pictures, videos) with enterprise-class control.
For students, these new services give them access to similar types of functionality that has made SharePoint the fastest growing server product in Microsoft history. It will enable them to create, edit and securely access content from their school’s site anywhere, whether at home, at the school library or even while on the road for holiday. It will allow them to organize, track and easily share classroom information, interests, expertise and easily find colleagues. By leveraging Office Web Apps that are currently in technical preview, students will have a new online space where they can securely upload, easily share, and collaborate on documents, including in-place editing. We believe this will better prepare them for the workforce through use of functionality and technology used every day in the workplace.
