Outlook
Many faculty and staff use MS Outlook to access their email. MS Outlook is a desktop email application that provides all faculty and staff an integrated solution for managing and organizing e-mail messages, schedules, tasks, notes, and contacts. Outlook can be used alone or in conjunction with Pipeline both on and off campus. You do not have to be directly connected to the Pipeline to access your e-mail messages in Outlook. For example, if you are at work or traveling with a laptop computer, you do not need to first log in to Pipeline However, Pipeline requires authentication, meaning that you must provide your user name and password — the same as your Pipeline login name and password — before you send your e-mail message. You can save the user name and password in Outlook so that you enter the information just one time.
Communicate with students in a course
Pipeline provides a convenient vehicle to communicate with students in a course, either by email, discussion forum, or virtual chat. Students are automatically removed or allowed to use these course resources as they drop/add within the Student Information System (SIS) and no additional intervention is required by the faculty. Faculty are allowed access to their course tools as soon as they are assigned to the course within SIS.
