We are excited to announce that three new Office 365 services for staff and faculty are coming soon.
Office 365 Groups
Office 365 Groups allows you to create and manage a collection of people with access to the Office 365 tools you use already so you can collaborate with your teammates when writing documents, creating spreadsheets, working on project plans, scheduling meetings, or sending emails. You can create multiple Office 365 Groups to align with your different working groups or teams at Sheridan.
SharePoint Online
SharePoint Online is the latest version of SharePoint to be offered in the Office 365 suite and offers many improvements from Sheridan’s existing SharePoint 2010 offering. With the new modern SharePoint Online Team site, you’ll receive self-serve design and administration interfaces that make it easy for the most novice SharePoint user to design and manage their Team Site.
Microsoft Planner
Microsoft Planner is here to take you, your work group or your team’s task management workflows to the next level. Planner provides a hub for team members to create plans, organize and assign tasks to different users, and check updates on progress through dashboards. It also provides a centralized place where files can be shared and gives visibility to the whole team.
Stay Tuned for More Details
More details will be made available within the next few weeks, including an official launch date for these new services and details about user guides and other resources. The IT department has an ongoing commitment to ensuring that Sheridan employees can achieve more by leveraging the latest technologies provided with the launch and support of these new services.
