One of WA’s largest educational institutions has moved its students into the digital age.
East Perth-based Central TAFE is about to roll out its first student e-mail service, after signing a deal with Microsoft.
The TAFE will offer its 15,000 students the software giant’s Live@Edu application, after trialling it with about 500 of them.
It follows a nine-month process which began when WA TAFE’s issued a tender for the supply of student e-mail services. Microsoft was awarded the tender last month.
Central TAFE managing director Neil Fernandes said Live@Edu would offer “connectivity and collaboration right across our campuses”.
Other WA TAFE’s – who have about 120,000 students between them – are watching Central’s pilot program. Live@Edu offers 10GB-capacity mailboxes and the potential to send and receive 20MB attachments.
