Using SharePoint to Crowdsource and Share Resources...Thoughts on This Approach
Hello Friends, My department asked me to create a SharePoint page where our folks can share and access resources for a department initiative. We are an academic department so "resources" means: link...
Hello J_o_h_n ! That's a nice initiative. I am thinking, why not use Teams to crowdsource and share resources? 😉 I think Teams would be an excellent platform for your department members to share/access resources. And hey, you might be able to break the ice with the change-averse members & get them to adopt Teams in this process 
Tips
- Create different channels for different resource types (if that applies to you)
- Use channel "Wiki" - if some resources are purely links with text info
- Training session for the members can be simple and focus on which channels they should use, how/where to upload files, how to use "wiki" etc. If any members have questions, they can use the "General" channel to post them & you (or your peers) can moderate
You can choose to create a SharePoint page (may be within your Team!) to curate and organize the "final content". This way, you would have all your resources (they can even be categorized) in your Team's "Files" and you can use web parts like Highlighted content, Quick links etc to nicely organize your "final content" on the SharePoint page.
Let me know if this idea appeals to you! 🙂
- We are launching Teams in some of our programs and thus I think it could be a good way to curate material. Thank you!
