I am going to record my notes\/thoughts\/ideas as I teach with Sakai this next year. Here are a few first thoughts:
\n– It is really cool to make the course sites myself and choose when to publish the sites – and control what tools appear on the site. I already have published my site and am using E-Mail and polls in the weeks prior to the start of class to help me plan.
\n– UM does not have the page order tool enabled :( I really like the tool – not so much for the reordering feature – but more for the show\/hide feature.
\n– UM has tech support for CTools available on IM – AWSOME!!! I needed Poll tool added to my site (cause it is stealth at UM) and 5 minutes later it was done via iChat – I was able to paste course IDs in and all – nice nice nice.
\n– I sent out my first not to my Ruby on Rails calss with a simple poll – will see how much response I get …
\nI don’t have admin privs on CTools – so I get the real faculty experience – also I will resist the temptation to go straight to the developers and management just because I know them – I want ot use tech support and do the real faculty thing and get the whole experience.
\nI also hope to set parts of the course for public viewing – we will see – some features in 2.4 trunk are not in 2-4-x that make anon viewing better – perhaps next semester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
