Hello,
I am finding that the free email rush of Google and Microsoft Exchange is
hitting the higher education environment quickly. Both emails provide
productive functionality for a college student, I'm more concerned about the
accessibility view of things. While looking at the two applications, I do
not see much information on Google Accessibility. Where Microsoft Exchange
has a Light version of email but even then has some functionality taken away
that of what their "regular" Exchange offers. So my question is where do we
draw a line and say which is the more accessible version for our students
when neither are really very accessible? I would love to talk to
universities, colleges and users of either of these free email systems in
higher education in regard to accessibility pros and cons. I would like to
discuss further how different universities and colleges came to their
decision between the two or others based upon accessibility. Any
information is much appreciated.
Thank you,
