  • From what we've seen of the Office 365 beta, it still has a long way to go before it can be considered a true turnkey solution for business.
  • The most attractive tiers bundle a full license to Office Professional Plus 2010 for each user, which is arguably Microsoft's greatest advantage over online-only competitors such as Google Docs.

  • it is also important that students be critical consumers of online content, are able to assess the value of content, and are able to put it to good use in their academic endeavors
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The research reviewed reported that 18-24 year olds do not transfer their expertise with technologies to academic contexts
  • students in this group use Instant Messenger when completing assignments, and Google Docs for archiving and group work, even if their professors are unfamiliar with Google Docs
  • The findings of this pilot survey, along with the research reviewed, indicate that undergraduates’ application of new technologies for academic purposes can be likened to the five stages of technology adoption – Awareness, Adoption, Adaption, Appropriation, and Invention - reported in the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow research
  • undergraduates’ creation of online content for educational purposes was low in both this and prior research
