FIRST STEPS WITH SAKAI
3. Fully Online Courses - Goals
• Replicate Blackboard functionality
• Ease of navigation
• Balance clean design with ability for faculty to
maintain and update
4. Content Migration and Organization
• Did not use Migrate Content Tool
o Resulting structure can be difficult to navigate
• Created HTML template for lesson content
o Preserve lesson structure in Blackboard
o Lesson elements displayed ona single page
o Copy/Paste from Blackboard
• Assignments and tests no longer linked
directly from the lesson page
10. How Has it Worked?
• In short – very well
• Minor issues:
o WYSIWYG editor can be difficult to use
• Small window
• Pasting from Word
o Not easy for instructors to upload documents on
the fly and link them from the html lesson page
o Anticipate some problems with broken links when
courses are copied

• 2 Year MPA Program
• Needed to move from
Blackboard to Sakai Fall
2011 so that students
would have one LMS
through entire program
13. Migrating from Blackboard to Sakai
2. ITS created a Sakai tool that allowed for the import from
1. Instructors can export documents and external linksof

EXTENDING SAKAI BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
18. Overview
• Use of Project Sites
• Website and File Hosting
• Extending the Calendar
• Repurposing Data
• Future Directions
19. Project Sites
• Potentially a replacement for Sharepoint
o Allows for guest users
o Document storage
• Using the browser
• Drag and Drop (using WebDav)
o Communication tools
o Calendar
o HTML pages/wiki easy to create & modify
• Examples
o Admissions Committees, branch campuses, research
groups, reading groups, steering committees…
20. Website and File Hosting
• Hosting full websites (including site archives)
• Hosting files that are open to the world, open
a set group, or private
• Better than a flash drive!
26. Future Directions
• LMS as a potential gold mine of data
o Student usage
o Grade analytics
o Recommendation Engine
o Search
• Hoping for access to new exports of data
