Frequently Asked Questions (email us more)
What can students do?
Any student has the ability to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, even entire websites. Students can control who can see or collaboratively edit the sites and documents. You can upload videos (we need to give you permission to upload video, email us to request it.) Students can also send us feedback. What works? What doesnt? Tell us success stories or good ideas on how to use this to help you study.

I want to share a document/site with just a few people, how do I add them?
Sharing a document with a few friends for viewing and/or editing is easy. See the documentation for Google Docs or Sites for the specifics of how to share and grant permissions with others. We have loaded all of the Medical Students into your NYUSM Google Apps contacts. Just click 'Choose from contacts' from the Sharing screen and search for your friends to add them.

What about privacy and access?
You can share your documents and websites with as many users of our Google Apps as you like, and to the larger NYUMC community.   You can control which users can see your content. You could give access to your study group, all students and faculty in the pilot, or just you. Administrators within the Division of Educational Informatics (and those at Google) are able to view all content within the NYUSM Google Apps site, even if its not shared with anyone.

Can I create a public website using Gsites?
**If you want a website you created in our Google Sites application, email us to request it. Sites you create here can be public to the world, we just need a request from you to grant the permission within the system.

I deleted my homework, can you help?
MCIT does not host, maintain or secure the content in Google Apps. Therefore, you must be responsible for backing up and securing any content they may choose to place in the Google Apps domain. For example, MCIT cannot recover an accidentally deleted file, nor will Google provide this service.

Other important notes:
Never include any protected health information or write-ups that include detailed health information that could potential identify patients in any of the Google Apps. Exercise good judgement when using these tools. With great power comes great responsibility.
