We didn’t host many web services\n\nWe didn’t share much\n\nThings got moved between departments slowly\n\nContent was sent back and forth in paper form\n
Oh dear. Anyone remember these? Worse still, are you still blighted by them?\n\nWhat do shared drives do for us?\n
Moodle was coming.\n\nWe were just getting over our traumatic experiences with Learnwise\n\nThe curriculum was about to steam ahead\n
- lots of different storage spaces\n - people were improvising\n - USB sticks were becoming common\n - sharing was tricky\n - our methods just weren’t effective\n
we organised mandatory training\n\nit wasn’t optional - not everyone liked it!\n\nthe decision had been made, and was communicated\n\nwe associated a deadline with the shared drives\n
everyone has their own space\nwe made lots of sites\nwe keep stuff in lists\nwe scan content\n\nsome things work: sites, lists, docs, images\nothers don’t: pdf, psd, cad - anything specialist\n
‘find it in SharePoint’ just isn’t true\n\nit’s not intuitive (or at least, our implementation isn’t)\n\nit’s getting cumbersome and hasn’t evolved\n\nthere’s just too much content\n
Lots of good aspects\n\nA few concerning ones that need careful management\n\nUltimately in my opinion, most treat it like a shared drive\n
