Google Apps
ACU uses Google apps behind a Single Sign-on, which allows you to sign on only once and be authenticated to multiple applications used at ACU, including the following ones that are frequently used:
Gmail:
Your ACU email works similarly as any private Gmail accounts you might have. You should be able to send, receive, organize your mails using your ACU email.
Calendar:
You can send or receive invitations to events using your Google Calendar.
Drive:
You can store your files using Google Drive, and share files or folders of files with your colleagues with great ease.
Docs:
Google Doc allows you to create a document, presentation, form, or spreadsheet online, and share it with others.
Groups:
You can create groups for your class (which you can also do in your learning management system, which is probably easier) or other ACU-related organization. It is easy to communicate and collaborate as a group using the group tool.
