[aisle] What are colleges using

[Sarah Hill]

Lake Land College still uses Office 2016.  Most of our faculty don't know
much about the Google suite of products, but our students come from high
schools with Google Chromebooks.   Students have a big learning curve when
they come here because teachers assume they know how to use Office
products, but they have no idea and aren't very good at adjusting.

Just this week I had to show a student how to save a Google doc as a .doc
so they could upload it into Canvas.  There is the same learning curve with
area high schoolers who are from Mac schools--they sometimes don't know how
to export their Pages documents.  Most of our faculty only want Office docs
or PDFs submitted to their online course.

I've also found that simple universal "tricks" like Control-F and Control-2
are new to my students.
