1 Getting Started 1.1 About SharePoint Learning Kit SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) is a SCORM 2004-conformant e-learning delivery and tracking application built as a SharePoint v3 solution. It works with either Windows SharePoint Services 2007 or SharePoint Portal Server 2007, and has the following core features:   

Supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and Class Server content, allowing users to store and manage this content in SharePoint document libraries. Supports a learner-centric or instructor-led (assigned) workflow. Allows assignment, tracking and grading of both e-learning and non-e-learning content.

Please see the release notes for more information.

1.1.1 System Requirements SharePoint Learning Kit requires:   

Windows 2003, configured as an application server Windows SharePoint Services 2007 SQL Server 2005

1.2 About SLK Course Manager SLK Course Manager is an add-on to SLK that adds the following two Web Part Pages:  Plan and Assign page  Monitor and Assess page

These Web Part Pages help instructors do the following:  Plan courses and activities  Distribute, collect, and monitor the status of assigned activities  Grade activities and monitor student performance

SLK Course Manager uses the original SLK application programming interfaces (APIs) to assign, grade, and check the current status of activities.

1.3 About This Document This document is intended to help you get started running SLK. It assumes that you have some knowledge and ability to install and maintain server software such as Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. We recommend that you follow these steps as closely as possible the first time you install and configure so that you get an idea of what s involved. Once you have run through the process once, you can try different configurations to get a feel for the range of possibilities in deploying and using SLK. Note: This document configures SLK on a single server. Configuration in a Server Farm environment is slightly different and more complex. Complete farm configuration is outside the scope of this document, but we have collected some tips on configuring SLK in a farm configuration in Section 6.

1.4 For More Information Note: We are creating a distribution list to send information about SLK to those who are interested. We will not use this list for anything other than SLK information. If you re interested in joining the list, please send mail to [email protected]. Similarly, if you d like to remove yourself from the list, you can just let us know any time at [email protected] and we ll remove you For more information about the design of SLK and features that are coming in future releases, please see the specifications in the SLK-SourceCode-1.0.[build]-ENU.zip package, available at http://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=SLK. You can also ask questions or post feedback at http://www.codeplex.com/Project/ListForums.aspx?ProjectName=SLK. More information on SharePoint deployment and configuration can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5E4C222A -03A1-435A-A075E47A28C9D6B8&displaylang=en

2 Upgrading an Existing SLK Installation If you ve installed a previous SLK CTP release, follow these steps to upgrade it to the current release:

2.1 Upgrade the SLK Solution Note: SharePoint Learning Kit comes with several command files to assist you in adding and deploying the solution. These command files assume that your install location for SharePoint is the c: drive, and that http://localhost is accessible for the stsadm command. If this is not the case, edit the SharePoint Learning Kit command files to change the install drive, and replace „localhost with the fully-qualified domain name of your server or server farm. Upgrade SharePoint Learning Kit as follows: 1. Copy the Install directory from the SLK drop to your install drive. The rest of this example assumes you ve copied it to c:\Install 2. Click StartRun 3. Type „cmd , and then click OK 4. Type „cd \Install , Enter 5. Type „UpgradeSolution , Enter 6. To verify that the solution upgraded successfully, type „EnumSolutions , Enter. You should see a block of XML with containing DeploymentSucceeded. If deployment is still pending, wait a minute or so and try EnumSolutions again.

In other SCORM content, questions may remain enabled if the content does not explicitly support “review” view. In this case, learners may change answers, but SLK will prevent these changes from being stored in the database.

5.6 You’re Done! (for now…) Congratulations! You ve just experienced the SLK assignment workflow. There s much more to the product to explore. Try some of the following:       

Create a SharePoint group, give that group the learner permissions, and assign to the group. Access the document library as a learner, click E-Learning Actions, and assign the content to yourself. Assign different types of content. Try assigning content to different sites (on the Actions page, click Add a site to this list). Try configuring the Web Part properties of the Assignment List Web Part. Try creating new site collections and associating them with different databases. If you re really intrepid, try editing the slksettings.xml file. You can download your current settings and upload your changes on the Configuration page.

6 Managing Assignments through SharePoint Learning Kit Drop Box SharePoint Learning Kit Drop box allows you to upload any non-e-learning file type. It helps you as a learner track the status, final score and instructor comments. When the instructor takes an e-learning action for one of the files in the document library, an assignment item is sent to the learner for that file. When the assignment is begun by the learner, the status of the assignment is set to In Progress. After the learner finishes submitting the assignmentrelated files to the instructor, the status of the assignment is set to Submitted and a readyto-grade item is sent to the instructor for that file. The instructor upon reviewing the completed assignment can set the final score and add comments then return the file back to the learner.

6.1 Assign Homework As an instructor, SharePoint Learning Kit Drop Box enables you to upload any non-elearning file type. Once you upload the files, they are automatically saved in the document library; these files can be used later as assignments and submit them to your learners as assignments with the due dates and scores you specify. You can also edit the details of the uploaded file at anytime. For more information on how to upload and assign homeworks to your learners, please refer to Upload and Assign Sample Content.

6.2 Submit the Assignment As a learner, you can view the received assignment in the Assignment List Web Part. It displays the details of the assignment.

8 Farm Configuration Note: Complete farm configuration is outside the scope of this document, but we have collected some tips on configuring SLK in a farm configuration in this section. Things to ensure:  

In a farm configuration, the SharePoint application pool must be a domain account (not a local machine account or built-in system account). When adding and deploying SLK on a server farm, you cannot use the helper command files as-provided. These files all assume that SLK is being installed to „localhost . Instead, you should use the files as guidance regarding what SharePoint commands are required to add and deploy solutions, or you can edit the command files to refer to your server farm.

Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Page 52 of 58 



The SLK Configuration Page uses the application pool credentials to create the SLK database. This will fail if the SharePoint application pool account does not have dbcreator permissions on the database server. If you don t want to give the application pool account dbcreator permissions, you can use the „slkadm commandline tool (in the install package) to configure SLK. The slkadm tool runs using the signed-in user s credentials, so in this case your account must have the dbcreate role. For help with the slkadm tool, type „slkadm with no parameters. When you configure SharePoint Lea rning Kit, ensure that you specify the correct database server. Also, if the server you re using is not the default instance of SQL, you must specify the instance name as well. For example, if your server is called „MYSERVER , and your instance is „myinstance , then the „Database server entry on the configuration page should be „MYSERVER\myinstance .

Issues with solution deployment: 

In some cases, solution deployment succeeds, yet the SLK configuration page is not accessible from SharePoint Central Administration. In this case, the SharePoint command „stsadm -o scanforfeatures can be used to update SharePoint s solution store.
