1. Take control of
communication.
Do you ever feel like e-mail is
something you have to fend
off rather than respond to? The
Outlook Web App, included
with Microsoft’s e-mail and
collaboration tools for education,
can help sort barrages of
messages into more manageable
folders. Keep your e-mails
organized and separated from
each other in a way that makes
the most sense to you.
2. End schedule snafus.
Your Outlook Web App Calendar
can show your lectures, labs, exam
dates, and office hours at a glance.
By sharing up-to-date information
with students, you can spend more
time teaching and less time
administrating. You’ll also put an
end to controversies over missed
tests and deadlines.

access to versatile Microsoft
Office Web Apps. From virtually

A bright outlook for educators.
Free access to the Office Outlook Web App helps you and your students cut through communication barriers.
Powerful e-mail and scheduling features help keep your academic life in sight and organized.

subject, only to get more confused
about the outcome? The conversation
View feature gives you a quick,
condensed view of all the messages
exchanged on one topic, making it
much easier to keep track of
everyone’s input.
4. Prepare students for the
workplace.
Using the Outlook Web App gives
students practice with the essential
communication skills they’ll need after
graduation. But because it’s easy to

support” to your growing list of
responsibilities.

1. Easy to learn.
Microsoft Outlook is the world’s
most popular e-mail application in
part because it’s so intuitive. In fact,
most students and faculty hit the
ground running. The time you’ll save
interacting with your students,
colleagues, and administrators

becomes extra hours you can apply
to teaching, researching, or pondering your next sabbatical.
2. Cut through inbox clutter.
Still dreaming of that perfect day
when you receive only a handful of
easily sorted e-mails? Until that day
arrives, you can set the Outlook Web
App to automatically filter e-mail
messages from certain individuals,
administration members, or designated groups. It’s instant relief for
the e-mail weary.
5. Stay in touch wherever you go.
You’re never out of the loop (unless
you want to be). The Outlook Web
App is free to access from any supported Web browser, including
Internet Explorer®, Safari, and Firefox.
That means you can send and receive
e-mail from virtually anywhere with an
Internet connection. You can even
consolidate and view any other e-mail
The end to student excuses.
What happens when your
students have one-stop
access to project deadlines,
test dates, lab hours, and
schedule changes? For one
thing, their creativity gets
poured into their work
rather than their excuses.
And you get a much-needed
rest from broken bike stories
and fictitious family
bereavements.
A simple tool for complex
schedules.
The Outlook Web App’s Shared
Calendar feature makes it easy
to keep track of all your classes
and commitments. You can
choose to share your calendar
with colleagues or your teacher’s
aide to keep them informed of
your schedule. Students can
create their own calendars,
encouraging them to take
responsibility for their evershifting schedules.
Coordination and control.
You can create calendars for all
kinds of purposes, from personal
to public. You control who sees
what. Need a colleague to cover
a lecture? Check your peers’
availability and let them know
when you can reciprocate.
End the paper chase.
Save time and paper by attaching
downloadable worksheets,
student handouts, homework
assignments, and even lecture
notes directly to a student
assignment calendar. Students can
print them out so you don’t have
to.

Work and share from virtually anywhere.
With Microsoft e-mail and collaboration tools for education, students have free access to Office Web Apps, the online companions of Microsoft Office. The key functions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote are always at your
fingertips, whether you’re at a symposium across the country, or at a café across from campus.
Save
your
stuff
Free but powerful tools.
Office Web Apps all share the
familiar Ribbon interface of
Microsoft Office. While students
are learning from you, they’re
also mastering the software skills
they’re most likely to need after
graduation.

Common ground.
When all your students have
free access to the same software,
you eliminate compatibility
excuses and hassles. Students can
collaborate easily from anywhere
with an Internet connection (even
a toga party, unfortunately).
You control access.
You control who has permission
to view or edit documents. You
can see who has contributed to
and edited group assignments
so you can give credit where it’s
due. Time stamps on submitted
documents put an end to
deadline disputes.
Free online storage.
Don’t trust dissertations to a
USB keychain. Windows Live®
SkyDrive® gives you plenty of
online storage space to organize
your own photos and documents
(25GB to be precise) as well
as papers, presentations, and
spreadsheets from students and
peers.
Help students attain the skills they
need to succeed.
