John Kleeman, Questionmark, UK The world of corporate learning is moving toward the 70+20+10% model. This suggests about 70% of learning happens on the job, 20% via feedback from colleagues and peers and 10% in formal training. SharePoint is one of the key enablers of this move, with its widespread use for blogging, wikis and document repositories. Assessments (quizzes, surveys, tests and exams) are a critical part of learning – helping diagnose what you need to learn, giving feedback on learning, measuring and reinforcing what you have learned. Assessments are also useful in SharePoint for those using it for more formal training and also to keep track of compliance with regulations within SharePoint. This presentation from a vendor-neutral perspective : Describes the business benefits of embedding assessments within SharePoint Gives some examples of how companies are using assessments within SharePoint Explains how assessments can be used to measure the impact of social and informal learning Tells about options for including assessments in SharePoint 2010 Shows how it’s possible to very easily include an assessment on almost any SharePoint page Shares examples of how this is useful Demonstrates how to report and manage assessment results in SharePoint Explores how to use assessment results to interpret what is happening and identify needed improvements By attending this session, you will learn why assessments are useful in social learning and how to apply them within SharePoint, both for social learning and more conventional training and compliance uses.

- 21. HOW TO INCLUDE ASSESSMENTS IN SHAREPOINT
- 22. Approach #1 : Inbuilt SharePoint • Good for basic surveys • Works OOTB • Not quizzes & tests – Scoring – Security – Shuffling – Feedback – Reporting
- 23. Approach #2 : Custom web parts • Write your own – Custom web parts – SharePoint customizations (e.g. JavaScript) • Cost to create • Cost to maintain • Functionality limits
- 24. Approach #3 Embed Flash apps • Easy to do (if you have the tool) • Results not usually stored • Won’t work on iPads/iPhones • Possible for simple quizzes
- 25. Approach #4: Embed web apps • Embed assessment management systems • Easy to do and appropriate
- 26. Assessment must Software packages the size to fit space in Assessment for Device/Browser/iframe SharePoint Sends HTML Auto-Size senses pixel size of window

Editor's Notes
- Adapted for SlideShare from presentation at the European SharePoint Conference, October 2011, Berlin
- SharePoint is a key part of 70+20+10 in many organizations because it is the place you can learn from others – via Search, Wikis, Blogs and Discussions. It’s often also the place you can learn from experience.
- Assessments prepare for learning by creating intrigue and by informing instructors how much needs learning. Assessments in/as learning give evidence to guide instructors and learners into what needs to be learned and what has been learned. Assessments of learning provide evidence of learning.
- Needs analysis assessments identify what you already know, it’s very boring to get training on something that you already know, and in the 70+20+10 world, we are learning from all places. Job task analysis surveys identify what we should be teaching and assessing, they survey existing practitioners. And course evaluations give feedback on the quality of the training.
- This study compared two groups of students, one group studied only and the other studied and took a test within the same total time. The group who took a test retained more a week later.
- Questions before learning create intrigue. Questions during learning strengthen memory and give information to direct learning. Questions after learning reduce forgetting.
- See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh285756.aspx for more on this use of SharePoint
- Since SharePoint web parts are different sizes, important whatever assessment system you use that the assessment system auto-sizes quizzes, tests and surveys to fit well in the web part.
