Google Broadens Its College E-Mail Service
Google has expanded its efforts to provide student e-mail services to colleges, and while some campus officials are not yet ready to hand over such a critical function to an outside company, they are tempted by the price—it’s free.
Google’s expanded service, called Google Apps for Education, lets participating colleges outsource their student e-mail while still allowing campus users to have an address that originates from the college’s domain—meaning it will still end in .edu.
Arizona State University is the first to try Google Apps for Education, and it joined up in a dramatic fashion. University officials had the system completely up and running, to give e-mail to all 65,000 of its students, just two weeks after deciding to join the program. See The Chronicle’s full story.
