We are testing office 365 (2013) with some lecturers and so far we are finding it very useful.
We are already using it.
I moved all the students across last year and this year we moved all college staff.
There are issues with sensitive data being placed in the cloud but I have adjusted our policies and trained all users on what they can and cannot store on their Google Drive.
Just in the process of decommissioning our old Exchange Server and I have to say I am not sorry to see it go.
I could see us dropping Moodle and using Google Apps I'm looking very closely at this.
If we could get assurances that the data didn't leave the UK I would go for Google Drive in a much bigger way.
Did I hear that Janet were in talks with Google on this matter?
We are already using google apps..
We currently use Google apps (basic email) and live@edu (migration under way to Office365) both complement curriculum enabling students to use what they feel comfortable with.
