Google expands Classroom to all G Suite customers

Google has announced that it is expanding the walls of Classroom and making the platform available as an additional service to G Suite Basic, Business and Enterprise customers. 

Just as Classroom helps teachers and students save time, improve organisations and enhance communication, it can also help academies, tutoring centres and for-profit institutions that manage groups of learners in an instructor-led setting.

Classroom is designed for schools and is not an enterprise learning management system, but it is now available as an additional service to G Suite Basic, Business and Enterprise customers. It remains a core service for G Suite for Education, Enterprise for Education and Nonprofits customers. Note that users in G Suite for Education, Enterprise for Education and Nonprofits domains will not be able to join classes created by users in G Suite Basic, Business and Enterprise domains.

Admins can decide whether to opt in or out of new services. Classroom is on by default, unless you’ve chosen to manually opt in to new services.
