SharePoint Examples : eLearning Technology

I just read your post on the SharePoint in training and thought I would add in. I worked in Dubai for several years at a college. We did not have access to, or understanding of, an LMS at the time. I managed to work with SharePoint 2003 to create a relatively collaborative environment where teachers and students could share files and information. It really enabled a collaborative environment that also, interestingly enough, enhanced quality assurance because for once the teachers knew what others were doing and people could now look in on their classrooms/materials. Suddenly sharing and collaboration became the norm and not the exception. We used a tabbed meeting space with each course on its own tab but everyone, teachers, students and management, had access to all tabs. Students were now looking for extra work in other teachers folders and asking their teachers to explain this. There was a shared calendar where everyone could see all the assessments and plan theirs to make sure that students weren't overloaded. The students raved about it.

The features that I always wanted, like wikis and a better RSS mechanism, were enabled in MOSS 2007 but I left the college there before it was implemented. I do have examples of it on my site if you are interested in seeing, just let me know. Sadly, I do not have access to the site anymore.
