Students Use Online Collaboration to Improve Study Habits and Learning Outcomes

Overview

In Joplin, Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) offers students a high-quality education while striving to keep costs down. To reduce spending, the IT department decided to replace its aging, expensive, in-house student e-mail solution with a hosted solution. To provide e-mail and related services for students and alumni, MSSU chose Microsoft Live@edu, a set of Web-based communication and collaboration services. Students are excited about the new solution's reliability, as well as the ability to keep their important class materials and communications in one place - the solution offers 100 times more storage space per e-mail account and access to online storage with Windows Live SkyDrive.
