Free End User Training for Sharepoint

We hear from partners almost every day that one of the issues in landing Sharepoint projects is about end user training - or the lack of it. Let me know via the comments or email if this is a particular issue for you - I want to help. We have training partners interested in developing content for this and We have also our our training to download for free (via Siatro):

"This came across my inbox today from my colleague Ian Palangio - fantastic resource for introducing MOSS into green field sites.

The final and complete end-user Office SharePoint Server 2007 Training is now available for FREE in the MS Download Center!

The training comes with rich set of videos, tutorials and articles that help end users learn the basics of SharePoint’s workloads (ie each piece of the SharePoint pie). The kit can be installed directly to individual desktop machines (stand alone edition), or directly onto a SharePoint site. IT Departments, or even groups such as HR, Corporate Learning, and others will be able to use and customize the kit to train end users on  to use and get value from SharePoint.

  • Portal Edition : built on the Microsoft SharePoint Learning Kit (‘SLK’), the Portal Edition must be deployed onto a SharePoint Server site by a server administrator. It includes a reporting function that allows an administrator/trainer to track learners’ completed training topics. The content is compliant to the e-learning standard SCORM 2004.
  • Standalone Edition: can be installed by an individual and easily accessed from a desktop icon. It does not allow customization or reporting, but give customers the ability to view the training before they deploy the Portal Edition on a SharePoint Server site.
