Everyone Loves SharePoint Keys to Successful SharePoint Training Presented by: Liz Sundet
Philosophy on Training • I’ve trained thousands of users on • SharePoint • ERP Systems • Project Management Software • Business Analysis and Project Management • Write online classroom and live training for Rochester Community and Technical College (Mayo Clinic) for BA’s. • When it comes to SharePoint: • If users are trained properly, questions answered and they start to see the advantages SharePoint provides, they will love it.

Fun facts about VARK and learning • Majority of the population is? • Most males are of this learning style? • Most females are of this learning style? • Most schools and businesses deliver in this learning style?
Key points from the session • VARK Model– go to http://www.vark-learn.com/english/index.asp for your own assessment of what your learning style is as well as more information. • How VARK styles are applied to training so everyone will love it • Use of Coaching, Show-Guide-Train and Gamification techniques that can be used to enhance VARK styles for even better training • Start simple, build upon each concept
Remember • SharePoint is like a puppy: • You need to feed it, play with it, apply crawl-walk-run and constantly have training on it. • If you leave SharePoint alone, you will end up cleaning up a lot of crap • Positive reinforcement with “treats”! It’s great for user adoption and training, so make it a game • Repetition is key to success • People love a happy puppy and everyone should love SharePoint @SharePointPuppy #SharePointPuppy
