SharePoint Training - Course SyllabusCourse: Applying SharePoint 2007 - MOSS Core Features (Level 100 - Intro)
The goal of this 4 day, instructor-led training course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to begin planning and designing portals and collaboration sites using Microsoft SharePoint 2007. The course will focus on the core features and functionality included in SharePoint 2007, how to use them, and how to plan and design for them. This course is the first course in a two part series. This course covers the core features that are common to both Windows SharePoint Services v3 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. The second course in the series, Applying SharePoint 2007 - MOSS Advanced Features, covers the additional features that MOSS 2007 brings to SharePoint 2007 deployments. Student learning will be facilitated through a combination of instructor presentations and hands-on lab exercises. A sample company will be used in the labs to teach students how to apply SharePoint 2007 from concept to implementation in a typical environment. This course is intended for:
The typical environments that these professionals work in are medium to large organizations that have multiple locations, significant document management requirements, and the need to enable functional teams to easily and effectively collaborate. After completing this course, students will be able to:
There are no prerequisites for this course. In fact, the course assumes that the students have no prior experience with SharePoint 2007. If you are preparing to begin a design and implementation project at your company, you will find that this course is an excellent first step. Knowledge of the previous versions, SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services v2, is not necessary. (However, we understand that many students attending this course will have significant experience with the previous product. In this regard, we have designed the course to be appropriate and challenging for both categories of students.) Course Materials and Lab Environment Students will receive a comprehensive course manual, which will include all presentation materials and lab exercises. The lab exercises are step-by-step and fully documented in the student workbook. To view sample modules of our courseware click here. Each student will be given access to their own SharePoint 2007 environment on the classroom hardware. In essence, students will be attending a class where a fully functional SharePoint 2007 environment has been set up for their use in learning the product. No pre-installation of SharePoint 2007 software is required for this class. Each student will need to bring a qualifying laptop to the class (except in the Seattle location). Click here to verify that your laptop meets the minimum requirements. (Note: This Course Outline is subject to minor changes and refinements based on student feedback and instructor experience.) Module 1: Introduction to SharePoint 2007 This module introduces Windows SharePoint Services v3 and MOSS 2007. Key topics discussed include:
Module 2: Requirements definition, planning and design SharePoint 2007 is a very powerful and comprehensive product, and when combined with Office 2007, the two form an unparalleled system of productivity tools for information workers. To get the most benefit out of the system, it is necessary to thoughtfully consider a number of key planning issues before deploying the products. This module reviews the key planning issues that need to be addressed such as:
Module 3: Creating an enterprise portal with the out-of-the-box portal template In this module, students will create a new web application, and then an initial site collection, using the out-of-the-box portal template. An overview of all of the out-of-the box templates will be given by the instructor, along with an explanation of the purpose for each. Module 4: Creating user roles and establishing security The security model in SharePoint 2007 is based around the concepts of "role definitions" and "role assignments". This is a departure from the Site Group-based security model in SharePoint 2003. While some of the concepts are the same, there are some significant differences and this module will present a thorough discussion of the role-based security model in SharePoint 2007 plus plenty of hands-on experience in the lab. Module 5: Creating the portal structure and navigation There are many changes and improvements to portal and site organization and navigation in SharePoint 2007. In this module the students will work on creating a logical and well-organized portal structure and will explore the customization opportunities for the navigation controls. Specific new SharePoint 2007 features that will be covered in this module include:
Module 6: Creating content for the portal For most organizations, it is necessary to store and present a wide variety of content in the portal. Content types can include documents, images, links, static HTML, lists, discussion boards, etc. In this module, students will flesh out their new portal by adding content to pages, document libraries, lists, etc. Specific content-related features of SharePoint 2007 that will be explored include:
Module 7: Configuring search for the portal The search engine in SharePoint 2007 is very powerful and highly configurable. Furthermore, the user experience is common between WSS v3 and MOSS 2007 - unlike the user experience with WSS v2 and SPS 2003. This module will cover the key features that are provided and discuss which features come with WSS v3 vs. MOSS 2007. Some of the features that will be covered include:
Module 8: Creating effective team collaboration sites In this extensive module, the student will create multiple team collaboration sites, and work with the rich set of features and functionality provided in SharePoint 2007. Some of the specific features that will be covered include:
Module 9: Creating and utilizing meeting sites Having dedicated WSS sites for important meetings is something that can help participants be more effective both before and after the meeting. WSS v2 provides several different meeting site templates and they have been retained and enhanced in WSS v3. In addition to working with the new templates, the student will also work with the significant enhancements to Outlook 2007 to further integrate it with SharePoint meeting sites. Some of the specific enhancements to Outlook 2007 that will be covered include:
Module 10: Creating a blog site using the Blog Site Template Blogs (web logs), are frequently used by individuals or teams to publish expert information to a wide readership. SharePoint 2007 includes a Blog site template that can be used for this purpose. In this module students will create a Blog site and explore the features such as:
Module 11: Creating a Wiki site using the Wiki Site Template Wikis are websites that are used for a number of different purposes such as knowledge management, creative forums, brainstorming areas, etc. Common characteristics of Wikis include quick and easy creation and modification of pages, annotation and tracking of contributions and changes. SharePoint 2007 has a new site template to create Wikis and in this module students will create a Wiki with that template and explore the available features such as:
Module 12: High-level survey of enhancements offered by Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 This module will provide a quick survey of selected advanced features that MOSS 2007 adds to a SharePoint environment. The purpose of the module is to make students aware of the feature availability, and suggest appropriate follow-on in-depth education for those students who plan to implement MOSS 2007 in addition to WSS v3.
