Faculty and staff can now create their own Sakai project sites for scholarly use or collaboration.
For approval to create sites related to college business, faculty members will contact their department or program chair and administrative staff will contact their department head. Departments may designate one or more approvers in addition to, or instead of, the chair or department head.
Once the requestor has approval, he/she fills out a brief online form and the approver receives a copy. The requestor then creates a Sakai site following simple instructions.
The recommendation for our next email/calendaring tool will be made in early March (announcement coming!). Administrative groups may wish to evaluate collaboration features in the new tool before moving work currently done in FirstClass (e.g., discussions, document sharing) to Sakai.
More detailed information and instructions (http://bit.ly/gWbKsH).
Also, users’ preferred names will now be displayed in Sakai. The name is fed from other administrative systems; changes can be sent to:
– Faculty and Staff: Cindy Hawes, chawes-at-wellesley-dot-edu
– Students: Office of the Registrar, regoffice-at-wellesley-dot-edu
