The people from CommonCraft have created a new video about SharePoint. If you want to learn what it is and what it can do for you in 3 minutes, this is the way to go:

Jane Hart posted some links to free e-learning content about … e-learning. The content was created by Brainshark, and is very traditional (slide based), but of high quality. I embed my favorite below, check Jane’s site for the other content.

Microsoft introduces the Microsoft Live Services plugin for Moodle. This extension for the popular Learning Management System Moodle adds two major functions to the LMS:

• authentication in Moodle via Windows Live ID
• a Windows Live Services block in Moodle that allows students to access their Windows Live Services (mail, messenger…)

This extension could allow a school or institution to use Microsoft’s Live@Edu offering, together with a full blown LMS like Moodle.

I had a great time in my last SharePoint Power User training, and as always, I learned a lot from the questions raised during the course. What do you think about this one: is there a quick and easy way to filter a long SharePoint list, without using Search, without using the column headings or the datasheet view?

I bumped into this nice extension on Codeplex: the SharePoint InstantListFilter. It adds lookup columns at the top of every document library and list, and you can use them to filter the list by typing in them; the results are shown immediately on the screen (jquery).

My development skills are non existing, so I can not evaluate the solution technically, but it is really a lifesaving functionality when you are browsing through long SharePoint lists (especially when there is no metadata or views defined).

Of course, there are some limitations:

• it only filters in the displayed results
• it is a feature activated on site level

If you want to see it in action, have a look at the demo.

As a big OneNote fan, I want to share this with you:
