“The schedule is awesome! One of myprofessors just loads everything needed for the day onto the schedule ‐ lecture notes, links to readings, things that are due, etc. It makes the site very user‐friendly.”

Hosting and working with vendors
…and New Challenges
2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 26
Hosting and working with vendors
You still need local staff:◦ Research Sakai community resources (Jira,
Confluence, listservs)◦ Troubleshoot, identify and communicate issues
to vendors◦ Design, test and approve fixes and
developments◦ Define roles and permissions◦ Manage roster and integration issues

Activity StreamsIntegrations
2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 28
Looking at the integrations more holistically may have been beneficial.
Involving the right business and technical people in integrations
Testing is critical.
Integrations
2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 29
Kaltura media gallery Bb Parity
◦ Wimba voice tools using Basic LTI◦ Ereserves◦ Respondus LockDownBrowser◦ Export Official Grades to PeopleSoft◦ Eliminated some integrations (Library Guides)
Finding Post’em useful in some cases SISS, Shib, LDAP Toolkits*

Migration
2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 34
Last 4 years of Bb content Worked with Longsight to use existing Bb-
Sakai import tool Multiple modifications to import tool code When is the quality of the migrated content
“good enough”? Also employed workarounds (bFree,
WebDav) . Size of archives, a number of sites over a
gig Total # of sites migrated – over 28,000

Project managers brought decisions to Sakai Team and sponsors
Transition Advisory Board Working on permanent governance model –
people shifting out of transition roles Standardizing a process for new
development requests, bug fixes and integrations.
IMPORTANT: open-source means different things to different people. Set expectations.
Governance

FutureJune 30th is coming… then what?
2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 54
Self-service (course creation)◦ So far, so good◦ Benefits – do not have to wait for administrators,
no middle man; combine sites the way you want (instructors); open up project sites to campus community
◦ Some pushback from professional schools Toolkits
◦ Facilitating some batch creation of courses for professional schools (ex: all Law courses)
Course content linking problem Better streaming/media management Other bugs that need to wait for 2.8/2.9
Challenges…
2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 55
Partnering with Fuqua School of Business (and other Duke developers)◦ Team assignments◦ Improving the schedule tool
Exploring Sakai Portfolios Sakai 2.8 or 2.9 in 2013 OAE?
Looking ahead…
