Dear All,
This is from a news on Tectonic, on the url:
http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=3736 with the title "Microsoft muscles in
on Unisa students ".
The excerpt of the news is as below:
Students at the correspondence-based University of South Africa
(Unisa) will be required to sign up for a Microsoft-provided email
address before they are able to receive correspondence from the
university.
The required email address is part of the first phase to build the
MyLife portal to foster a “sense of belonging” among students, the
university says.
Phase two of the project will see the university encouraging students
to use other “Microsoft live services such as social networking
facilities … online file storage, and Office Live workspace”.In my opinion this decision is forced and is unethical. I've casted my opinion on the news page that "either the institution should provide its own email service or provide the freedom to its students to use any email service of their choice." Please share your opinion along this. Thank You.
