I’m speaking at the European SharePoint Conference on
“Measuring Social Learning in SharePoint with Assessments” and
thought you might be interested in some recent articles around the
web on SharePoint in learning, education and training.

Most recent is this blog from EPCGroup which gives a positive
but realistic view on using SharePoint for learning: “SharePoint
2010 – A Learning Management System (LMS) for GovernmentDoD,
Private SectorFortune 1000, and Educational Institutions”

http://epcgroup.blogspot.com/2011/07/sharepoint-2010-learning-management.html.

A more critical (or if you prefer more balanced) view by
e-learning analyst Craig Weiss entitled “SharePoint – Social
Learning Savior”is at

Another very interesting article by Ray Fleming of Microsoft
Australia notes that one third of colleges are considering changing
their learning management system – he’s not saying that they should
be looking at SharePoint instead, but you can guess which direction
his thoughts are going:
