What happened to the course email addresses based on subject and course number (i.e. ANTH-103-001@courses.drew.edu)? Prior to the implementation of Google at Drew, we provided course email aliases in the form of Subject-CourseNumber-Section@courses.drew.edu while a term was in session in addition to the permanent term-specific CRN-TermCode@courses.drew.edu address. With the move to Google, we are currently unable to offer the Subject-CourseNumber-Section@courses.drew.edu addresses. While it is possible for a Google Apps administrator to manually add an alias to a group, Google does not provide a mechanism for us to do this automatically for all course groups. We elected to move the course group service to Google in spite of this limitation in order to offer the enhanced collaboration capabilities of Google Groups and the ability to share Google Documents and Calendar invitations with course groups. When Google adds the ability to assign group aliases in a way that can be automated, we intend to reinstate the alias addresses you are familiar with. |
