Collaborative Working Spaces - Engineering Using SharePoint

The working spaces were created by Rebecca Vickerstaff (formerly Allen) Faculty of Technology Learning Technologist. The brief was to see what could be done to support final year engineering students in working collaboratively on project work. To support this and keep it within the supported University system 9 sub sites were set up in SharePoint.



How this was done:
Nine sub sites were set up, nine groups were then created to give the student group contribute access to the area.

Each site had a discussion board, document uploading area, picture library, task list, calendar, links and announcement area. To assist the students in using an unfamiliar system some help resources and embedded them into the site for them.



To finish the project, links to the areas were included from their portal home page using the summary links web part. An announcement giving the students instructions was also included.
