Overview:

SharePoint End User training just got better. Due to popular demand, the new course has been enhanced with new and improved hands-on labs. Feedback from approx 700 students over the last year have showed us they especially enjoyed the hands-on aspects of the course and wanted to do much more. We heard you and in response the course has now evolved into a 1-day hands-on workshop, where students will spend at least 60% of their time 'rolling up their sleeves' and getting to know SharePoint as an end user.

Before morning tea, students will have dived in and started navigating around a SharePoint site, and created a Wiki page. They will create their own site to work with, upload and manage documents & create list items, like tasks or surveys. They will learn how to search SharePoint effectively, work with different views, and learn about document management.

Students will learn how to use SharePoint to manage workflows, approve/reject/reassign a document, check workflow status, view and interpret workflow history and report on My Tasks and documents Pending Approval. They will sign up to an alert to receive an email when the Wiki page is updated and also subscribe to an RSS feed, which keeps you informed when items are changed/added/deleted. Examining some of the collaborative tools in SharePoint, students will create document workspaces (from SharePoint or Office 2007) and a meeting workplace from the calendar - all before lunch!

By the end of the day the new End User is now a highly intelligent and efficient SharePoint user; building, customising and managing their own sites and will learn some advanced publishing skills, where previously this would have been the role of a web designer. We hope you all enjoy it and feel as excited as we do about building your basic SharePoint skills!!
