A community consultation and a free event are being hosted as part of a
project commissioned by Eduserv on the use of SharePoint in the HE sector
(www.northumbria.ac.uk/sharepoint_study).
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION
The aim of this online consultation is to capture the reactions of a wide range
of HE stakeholders (i.e. managers, students, researchers, learning
technologists, lecturers, administrators and vendors) to SharePoint. This will
build on the data from a literature review and survey of IT Directors. We would
welcome responses to three questions about the IMPACT and potential
FUTURE USE of SharePoint in HEIs.
Details on how to contribute/Details of the questions and how to contribute

• Do you want to learn about how and why HEIs are using SharePoint?
• Do you want to hear from some HEIs about their experience of
implementing SharePoint?
• Do you want the opportunity to network and benchmark?
This event provides an opportunity to do so. It is open to all HEI staff –
IT/Information Managers, SharePoint project managers, academics,
administrators, learning technologists. As well as a summary of the project’s
findings there will be four case studies of the use of SharePoint for different
purposes in UK HEIs. Speakers include Peter Gilbert (UWE), independent expert
Peter Yeadon, Colin Farrow and Diane Montgomery (Glasgow University) and Dr
Les Walczowski (University of Kent).
Places are limited; booking is on a first-come basis. To see the programme and
