For faculty, instructional technologists, system administrators, librarians, and other campus personnel interested in the Sakai technology and how it can further the academic mission on campus. (4 program units. Liaisons' deadline: Monday, March 3, 2008)
Participants should browse the Sakai website for fundamentals and recent information.
The Sakai technology is positioned as one of the premier technologies of higher education, and has increasingly begun to be adopted and used within the small college community. This meeting is designed to bring participating colleges that are using Sakai and those investigating Sakai’s potential together to share best practices and information and to help realize Sakai’s potential as a learning management and collaboration tool. The goal of this meeting is to help participants develop a strong Sakai community and peer-support network focused on the needs of smaller, undergraduate colleges. As part of a strong community of practice, campuses can learn from each other by sharing best practices and information about technical and support issues, avoiding duplication of effort, and collaborating to develop better solutions. Topics for the event will include:
The event is open to campuses at all points in the Sakai deployment process, from campuses researching and piloting Sakai to those with several years of experience.
