Prince of Wales College, Moratuwa has facilitated academic activity with Microsoft Office 365. Microsoft Office 365 runs on a ‘Cloud Platform’ and allows students and teachers to share documents and access them while at school or at home.

They can also access the documents through smart phones and through the internet. “Cloud Computing helps applications run fast with improved manageability and less maintenance.

The Office 365 solution implemented at the school brings together applications such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online providing an always-up-to-date teaching and learning platform that meets the needs of students and teachers.

This gives the students first hand experience on the use of creative tools and collaboration technologies that help to make academic work interesting” , a spokesman for the company said. The deployment of Microsoft Office 365 was initiated by Consulting Engineer of Microsoft Solutions, Susantha Silva, an old boy who is also an active member of the Microsoft IT Pro Community.
