Messaging & Collaboration

Today’s students are demanding new technologies for learning, The education community would like to keep connected in real time. To meet these demands, educational institutions are adopting new technology and adapting to new ways of working together.

With help from HP and our partners, schools, colleges and universities can put the best of messaging and collaboration technologies to work to interact effectively, streamline administrative processes and enhance the educational experience. E-mail, personal calendars, team teaching, group scheduling, rules-based message management, instant messaging, electronic discussions, and access to a web portal enable schools and universities to keep in touch and share knowledge efficiently and quickly.

K-12 schools that want to leverage technology fully can start small and choose to grow into an environment that can:

• Enable teachers to work together and collaborate more closely for team teaching
• Notify parents of their children’s absences, missed or skipped classes, and when grades are available
• Provide 24/7 access for every student, teacher, administrator and parent to any appropriate material – whether homework, records of progress or a child’s grades – any time, securely, from any location, through any device via a personalized Web portal

If parents can have ready access their children’s progress in school, engaging in collaboration, intervention and remediation as appropriate, the entire education process becomes more focused, more productive and ultimately more beneficial to every student.
