At Canisius, students, faculty, and staff have Google Drive spaces on the web. This online cloud storage system houses files that are secure but easily shareable. This is much better than email attachments, since teams of people work with the same files, rather than copies.
This has lots of potential for coursework. Students can collaborate on group work. Professors and students can easily share big or specialized files, such as videos, with each other. An entire class could collaborate on a common document, spreadsheet, or slide deck in real-time, within the classroom.
COLI is continually adding Google Drive and Apps tutorials to our new YouTube Channel. And check out our wiki resources focused on Google Apps, for faculty, staff, and students!
