USING AND MANAGING WSS SITES

The WSS 3.0 application (Windows Sharepoint Services) of Microsoft facilitates the sharing of information through a user-friendly interface. It is used in education to provide a bank of knowledge. The application enables users to share articles, links or any other type of documents to enrich the content of a course. This collaborative site encourages a high degree of interactivity between instructors and students. It has the following structure: a "parent" site is assigned to a course, from which team sites can be created to allow students to work effectively in small groups. It is now also possible to create a wiki and a blog in WSS.
