G-Suite and Google Workspace are no longer supported by LTSI starting Fall 2023.
LTSI will continue to offer support with the use of all of UVic’s centrally supported tools such as Brightspace. If you require assistance with design guidance or setup of your Brightspace site please contact us.
G-Suite is a collection of cloud computing, productivity and collaboration tools, software and products developed and marketed by Google.
Who is GSuite available for?
- G-Suite was available for the purposes of training pre-service teachers for its use in K-12 in the Faculty of Education.
