The main application that you will most likely use will be Microsoft Outlook, as this is where you will find all of your emails from college. In the main induction page, there is a video which takes you through how to find your emails and how Outlook works, but this page will provide more information on how to use Outlook efficiently.

What are the Features?
In Outlook, you have access to your emails which you will receive whilst working. You have a full address book to contact anyone in the college such as your Curriculum Manager or Line Manager. You can send, delete, favourite and reply to any email which is sent to you and you can organise your Outlook space to by creating new folders or rules to clear your work space.
When you first open Outlook, you will be greeted to your email inbox. Your inbox gives you all of your incoming emails which have been sent to you. These could be from your Tutor or other students.
Drafts will be any email which you have not sent but are currently writing. This gives you the chance to go over any email before sending so you know you have all the information needed. Un-sent emails are automatically saved to your drafts so they will not be lost.
Sent Items will be any emails that you have sent to any one else in the college with your email address.
Deleted Items will be any deleted emails that you have removed from your Inbox. These items will stay in this folder until your empty it and you then have 30 days to restore any email until they are permanently deleted.
The Junk Email Folder will filter any incoming emails from untrusted or unrecognised emails you are sent. Be careful when answering and opening any links from junk emails as these could be phishing emails looking for data which could harm you and the college.
