Aside from 10 GB lifetime email account, Live@edu also provides amount of productivity and collaboration tools, which include 25GB of skydrive, great calendar including group calendaring functions, blogging tools, chatting, facilitates sharing to other sites (e.g. facebook, blogger, youtube) and work with Microsoft Office documents through the web browser.
The launching was facilitated by Mr. Junace J. Acera, an IT faculty and currently the CSU web administrator with the valuable support of Engr. Alexander T. Demitillo, ECE, CEIT Dean and Jaymer M. Jayoma, MSIT, IT Department Chairman.
During the discussion, students were instructed to log in to www.outlook.com using their firstname and middle name’s initial plus the family name as username and “password” as password.
