TLC: Sakai 19 Upgrade - Overview and Q&A

Presented by Karen McPhaul, Senior Director, Instructional Technologies

Note: This session will be recorded for later viewing for those who are interested but cannot attend.

Durham Tech will upgrade from Sakai 11 to Sakai 19 on May 8, 2019. For instructors (and students), the Sakai skills you already have should transfer nicely to the new version. We’re excited to show you the brand new Rubrics tool in Sakai 19, which helps you easily grade forums, assignments, and more. Tests & Quizzes is being reorganized a bit, and you’ll find it much easier to give extra time on tests to students with accommodations. Lessons is mostly the same, with some new bells & whistles you can use or not. For some instructors, the biggest change will be that “Gradebook Classic” is going away, leaving only the newer “Gradebook” that was introduced in Sakai 11. In this session, we will demonstrate the most notable changes in Sakai 19 and explain the upgrade process so you’ll know what to expect. The session will also provide details on various ways instructors can try out and learn the new version of Sakai.
