ACHS Student Apps
Beginning in 2011, the American College of Healthcare Sciences is proud to announce it's partnership with Google Apps to provide free, unrivaled web apps to our students. If you haven't yet accessed your account, start here at: students.achs.edu.
The Advantages of using your students.ACHS.edu account:
Never delete an email again.
With nearly unlimited email storage and an ability to instantly search your archive, you’ll never need to delete another email again. Your student email account is powered by gmail, and offers all the latest features you’d expect from the world’s largest and most innovative email provider. Never lose touch.
No more expensive packages.
With the ability to create, share, and collaborate on word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, and even drawings – you may never need to spend hundreds on expensive application suites again.
Never lose a document again.
Whenever you start working on a document (or email), a draft will automatically be saved every few moments. No more losing work to a power-outage or a computer crash. And, in case you accidentally save over something important you can easily recover changes from an older version. Work with confidence.
Wherever you are, there we are.
There’s no longer any need to carry your files with you on a storage device. If you can access the internet, you can access your documents. Never forget another document.
Collaborate, naturally.
Working on a group project? Want editorial advice from a friend? Invite them to collaborate on your document in real-time. You can easily track who has contributed which changes.
Multiple formats.
Ever try to send a Word document to someone who only uses Wordperfect? Or a Keynote presentation to someone who only uses Powerpoint? With Google Documents you can import and export in multiple open formats. Ensure that classmates, instructors, and clients have perfect access.
Student discounts.
With your new .edu email address, you’ll be eligible for countless academic discounts. Students typically receive huge savings on software products from companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe.
Mobile editing.
On the run? You can now access and edit any of your documents from most leading smartphones. All you need is a live internet connection.
Connect.
With this new platform you can easily chat (text, audio, or video) with your classmates and instructors.
Customization.
Control the look and feel. In gmail and igoogle you’re free to customize the look and feel to match your inner style. Seen below, the Night Shade theme.
More. Much more.
These are just some of the advantages and features of using ACHS.edu Apps powered by Google. We’re just getting started, and will continue to release new features and find new ways of incorporating these tools meaningfully into your courses. Enjoy!
