The Top 5 Benefits of SharePoint in Education

1) Easy to find and share documents. Teachers and staff can upload documents quickly and easily onto the SharePoint site. Then using the search system on the site students and staff can efficiently search and find the document that they require.

2) SharePoint can put all your school systems into one. Staff can improve efficiency by only having one system to log on to and to work from. For example school staff can handle school news by putting it straight onto a school news feed on the SharePoint site, instead of sending out hundreds of newsletters. This saves a lot of time and money.

3) Access to the platform anywhere at any time. This is a useful feature of a SharePoint site as it means students and staff can access their documents anywhere and at any time depending on whether they have an internet connection.

4) Branding on your SharePoint site. Your SharePoint site can be branded and tailored to each school’s specific needs and be unique to the school. For example the site can have your school colours and badge added. In addition to this you can also have specific web-parts added to suit your specific needs.

5) Improve student performance through early intervention. SharePoint can be extended to integrate with a school’s Management Information System (MIS) which allows parents and teachers to view student data (including attendance, attainment, targets and outcomes).  Providing access to real time information enables early intervention to be made when appropriate, leading to improved student performance.
