Google Apps<\/a>\u00a0is a service from\u00a0Google<\/a>\u00a0providing independently customizable versions of several Google products under a custom\u00a0domain name<\/a>. UNC Charlotte has Google Apps for Education which \u00a0integrated with Active Directory.<\/p>\n

Web-based Productivity Suite<\/h3>\n

The primary innovation of Google Apps is that they provide web-based\u00a0applications for word-processing, spreadsheets and presentations that are similar to Microsoft Office’s Word, Excel and PowerPoint. \u00a0One of the distinguishing features of Google Apps is “real-time collaboration.” \u00a0This means that multiple users can edit the same document at the same time and each will see the other’s edits as they occur.<\/p>\n

Google Apps also has granular access control that allows users to specify who can view, comment on or edit any give document, spreadsheet or presentation.<\/p>\n

Case Studies<\/h3>\n

Google Drive is used widely at UNC Charlotte for a variety of purposes. \u00a0 Below are some examples.<\/p>\n
