Benefits
Enable easy collaboration with a secure digital hub
Build bridges within and across departments: Bring educators together outside the staff room or faculty lounge. Post news items, blogs, people updates and more in a centralized, easy-to-search area.
Collaborate, on-campus or off: Educators, administrators and support staff can upload and access files from any location using file-sharing integrations like Office 365, Box, or Google Drive.
Share knowledge and complete tasks: With a central knowledge base, everyone wins. Streamline everything: from lesson planning and policies to everyday tasks like booking leave or completing an expense claim.
Encourage campus-wide engagement: Create an interactive space where faculty, staff, and students can share information, get involved, and post photos from events and extra-curricular activities.
