Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Central TAFE previously had no student email
services in place, and is now trialling Live@edu with 500 students, and
following completion of the pilot, up to 15,000 students will be issued
with Live@edu email addresses.
The Central TAFE collaborated with ten other TAFE Colleges in Western
Australia in a public tender process, issuing an expression of interest
to providers of hosted email services in September last year, before a
WA TAFE working committee decided on Microsoft’s Live@edu solution for
Central TAFE.
After the pilot phase concludes, each of the WA TAFEs that were part of
the initial tender will also consider deployment of Live@edu. If all
10 of the Western Australia TAFE colleges follow suit, around 120,000
students would have access to the Live@edu service across the State.
The Live@edu suite of online applications and services includes
Microsoft Outlook Live, Microsoft Office Live Workspace and SkyDrive
storage, and Central TAFE’s managing director, Neil Fernandes, says the
Live@edu platform was “exactly the solution Central TAFE was looking
for” to meet the growing needs of the college’s students.
“We will be introducing a robust student email offering, that enables
connectivity and collaboration right across our campuses.”
According to education director for Microsoft Australia, Neil Jackson,
there’s growing momentum behind the Live@edu student email system, with
the solution, which he maintains provides educational facilities with a
“cost effective and advanced email service without significantly
impacting their budgets.”
Jackson says the service provides a significant number of benefits and
opportunities including increased mailbox capacity (10GB) and 20MB
attachments as well as calendaring and contact management.
