Abstract
The digital divide that was formed by a curriculum that affords no direct exposure to any business-oriented enterprise content management system and the surprising ubiquity and dependency on enterprise content management systems in business provided the motivation to class-test SharePoint as a surrogate for a university-supported course management system.
The classroom test became the basis of a proof-of-concept model for a college-wide document repository that was conceived to manage most of the colleges departmental and committee documents, including those related to AACSB maintenance of accreditation. The use of a business-tested, enterprise content management system for academic purposes could narrow an academic/industry digital divide and may remove an impediment to the adage practice what you teach.
