He said one of the nice features Outlook provides is that you can use Office \u2013 Word, Powerpoint, Excel and Onenote. Students can send links to instructors who can pull it down. There is 25GB space for every account and a 50MB upload limit. Adrian said students should be encouraged to park their data on skydrive instead of flash drives. Dave asked if anyone can access this. Adrian said everyone with the taftcollege.edu email can. Dave then asked if it can be set up to be public. Chad explained that it can be set up that way.<\/p>\n Rob asked if students can see everyone\u2019s email address on the system.<\/p>\n Adrian said they cannot. Linda asked what students have to do to get the email account. Mark explained that he creates email accounts from lists he gets from Admissions. Students can<\/p>\n call and IT will set them up with an email account if they don\u2019t have one yet.<\/p>\n Tiffany asked if the Counseling center lets students know about the email accounts. Mark said that Admissions is supposed to do that. Adrian added that he would like to do a mini-campaign to let students know. He pointed out that the cloud version of Word and Powerpoint is a little different \u2013 it is a little slower and doesn\u2019t offer quite as many features.<\/p>\n practice on offices. It is free of cost to the college for 5 years as it is rebate-eligible through PG&E. Tiffany asked what kind of cost would be involved after 5 years. Adrian said there would be maintenance cost only. He didn\u2019t feel it was necessary to use it for laptops.<\/p>\n Mark addressed the issue of email size which was brought up by Brian at the last meeting. Mark checked into the issue and even with Gmail the size is the same (15MB) and cannot be increased. Adrian commented that Skydrive is a good solution to address this issue. Clarissa asked when the email addresses will be updated to taftcollege.edu. Tiffany said they will be updated in January after in-service; she will roll out a message for everyone to log into Cougar Tracks and update their info along with updating the email address. Adrian said IT will pull all instructors. Dave pointed out that most students use their personal email addresses. Tiffany said that students are told by Counseling that notices will be sent through the TC email system.<\/p>\n The meeting was adjourned at 10:20.<\/p>\n\n
