SharePoint [Online Project Management and Collaboration]
SharePoint is a web-based collaboration service which allows you to create websites for the purpose of team collaboration, project management, file sharing, and more. A site can be managed through its web service so all you need is a web browser for using and configuring most of its features.
Here is a brief list of the types of sites that have been made using SharePoint at the CER:
- Equipment Management
- Our current equipment reservation system is built in SharePoint
- Project Management
- Tech Fellow Project sites: file sharing, discussions, surveys, task assignment
- Grant Proposal sites: file sharing, communications
- Job Interview Management
- Consultation/Contact Lists
- Meeting Agenda Management
All SharePoint sites are protected by the Hopkins Enterprise Authentication system, which means that only Hopkins affiliates with Jhed ID credentials can view a Hopkins hosted SharePoint site. This makes it ideal for making internal/departmental/course project sites without worry of public exposure.
Hopkins Information Technology Services has made Sharepoint available to Hopkins affiliates. A new SharePoint site can be requested from the following site:

Form" link halfway down the page) |

TeamSpot [Face-To-Face Collaboration Zone]
TeamSpot allows groups to work individually on their laptops and, simultaneously, together on a big screen, in a shared, drag & drop environment. Anyone in the group can send to, and manipulate content on, the shared Host desktop.
Group members can work on the Host computer's desktop as if it were an extension of their own desktops. Multiple people can work on the big screen at the same time, each with a uniquely identified cursor.
Since group work occurs on the Host computer's desktop, group members can use their laptops to work "off screen" in parallel with the main group. This can be useful when one person needs to research a point while the rest of the team continues working together.
It's easy to move digital content among team members – files, websites, and folders can be sent to, and opened on, any computer joined to TeamSpot. Once a file is moved to the shared work surface, anyone can revise it. TeamSpot is PC and Mac compatible.
During the Spring 2011 Pilot, TeamSpot has been installed and instructions for use may be found in the following locations:
- MSE Library – M-level next to Periodicals; A-level, Group Study Room
- Krieger Hall – Computer Lab Collaboration Rooms
Digital
- Media Center – 2nd floor of Mattin Center
