Is anyone Using Gmail for Student Email?

Submitted by mperna on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 8:10am.

Does anyone use Gmail’s educational offer for free
email and Google apps to students?

 

If so:

 

  1. What type of email system did
    you run prior? And are you still running it for staff and faculty?
  2. How long have you had Gmail
    incorporated into your Email production environment?
  3. Do you find support helpful?
  4. How was the migration to Gmail?
  5. What has been the
    student’s reaction to Gmail?

 

If anyone has any horror stories or fantastic experiences
that would be great to hear about as well.

 

Thank you in advance for all your answers and help,

For all (and especially my colleague) Matt:

Inside Higher Ed had a recent article discussing some of the FERPA and other
privacy concerns related to outsourcing e-mail:

Worth reading, whatever the conclusions one draws. {Jonathan}
