In December I wrote post on my blog about the educational capabilities of Microsoft SharePoint based on a 2006 article I had co-authored. Dion Hinchcliffe has just written a more critical review in an online article entitled “Sharepoint and Enterprise 2.0: the good, the bad, and the ugly.” He talks about why Sharepoint is dominating the enterprise market for social media, and notes its strengths and weaknesses. He says, “SharePoint can be used to do a lot more than what we usually ascribe to Enterprise 2.0, the latter for which the elevator pitch is freeform, emergent, social collaboration and less the physical document share methodologies (such sharing Word, Excel, PDF, etc. files) it was originally designed for.” This is one of the best reviews of Sharepoint I have seen, and is recommended for those interested in its use in learning applications.

If you are looking to enhance your experience, then there is a range of SharePoint web parts available for your extra needs and benefit. There are web parts available to make communication within the business even easier, as well as web parts that allow a user to include maps on your SharePoint site, and to publish and play videos. It’s just a matter of deciding which web part will be most suitable for you.
