Online collaboration (SharePoint)
SharePoint is an industry leading suite of collaboration and communication tools that are designed to enhance information sharing and gathering by all groups and teams within UVic's dynamic community. SharePoint provides online portals for on-campus groups that can be customized to contain document libraries, meeting spaces, blogs, wikis, knowledge bases, test tracking, and more. Accounts are authorized using Active Directory, so users must login with their UVic credentials. Access to SharePoint sites are controlled by site administrators.
