VisualSP has really got this idea nailed and has taken the extraordinary library of video snippets of SharePoint training and added them as a tab, in-context

What I’ve found in the last 8 years is that users want to know how to do their job. If I can show them something that aids them in that pursuit, then they get a little interested in this thing called SharePoint. We use the VisualSP Help System and have added our own content. This has helped tremendously and reduced the phone calls, emails, and help desk tickets. I now provide training when requested and focus it on the things people need to do in the platform: Submit leave, upload meeting minutes, etc.

I’m such a big fan of the VisualSP Help System because it brings training to people when and where they need it. The advantage of VisualSP is that it delivers just the right amount of training to you – just when you need to learn something – which means you’re much more likely to retain it. Even if you don’t, the information is there for you in context the next time you do that task!
