About Google Apps
Google Apps offers simple, powerful communication and collaboration tools for educational institutions of any size – all hosted by Google to minimize maintenance and reduce IT costs.
Google Apps is provided to educational institutions at no charge, and is hosted on the same enterprise-class infrastructure used by corporate and government customers.
Fast setup
Allow instructors and student groups to create and manage their own small groups and lists without burdening IT.
Easy, safe sharing
Users can share docs, calendars, sites, shared folders and videos with a group instead of individuals, while admins can keep control of group membership. Robust APIs even allow for integration with LMS, SIS, and course management systems, so access permissions stay up-to-date.
Less clutter and noise
Customizable subscription settings let users receive mailing list discussions as a digest, or by browsing the web.
Searchable archives
Group members can access and search archives of mail sent to their lists to efficiently find topics of interest.
Reply on behalf of a group
Groups can serve as a central point to receive and respond to communications, and members can reply on behalf of the group.
