White Paper

Learning and Assessment on SharePoint

Norwalk, CT (USA), June 2011 - With the increasing use of Microsoft SharePoint to create collaborative web sites, there's tremendous potential for using it together with assessments to support learning, education, training, and compliance.




Questionmark's new white paper "Learning and Assessment on SharePoint" explains how to use various types of assessments - from surveys and knowledge checks to quizzes and tests - within SharePoint to provide retrieval practice, motivate learners, and measure knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

The paper

  • defines assessments for, in, of, and after learning and the roles of diagnostic, formative, needs, reaction, and summative assessments;
  • describes applications of assessments within SharePoint for formal and informal learning, compliance, observational assessments, and more;
  • explains two ways to include Questionmark assessments within SharePoint - by embedding them in a page or by presenting a list of assessments for a participant to click on;
  • explores synergies between SharePoint and Questionmark software that can make using them together even more beneficial.

If you are already using SharePoint or are considering it, this paper will show you how to build on SharePoint's strength to make it an effective delivery platform for assessments and learning.
