​Teach from virtually anywhere, and reach more students

• Conduct and attend online classes: share high-resolution videos, applications, and desktops, so you can be fully present without physically being there.
• Minimize the learning curve and be productive right away with Microsoft Office tools you already know.
• Create class and group sites to share documents and information using Microsoft SharePoint. You can work together on projects in real time, because everyone has access to the documents and information they need from virtually anywhere.
• Hold office hours without being in the office. With Microsoft Lync Online, students and faculty can check presence and exchange instant messages (IMs), start or join a conference, make an online call or have a video chat.
• Work online or offline via Microsoft Office desktop applications on PCs and Macs. When you’re not on campus, you can access your Inbox with Outlook Web App, view and edit assignments with Word Web App, or join an online classroom with Lync Web App.
