Description

Columbia University is transitioning 30,000 users from its current CMS to the Sakai CLE. With 17 schools and over 500 departments, the management of "admin access" controls to support learning management must be delegated to local support staff.

To meet this need, a new set of sophisticated delegated-access tools for the Sakai CLE has been developed for use at Columbia. Specifically, the tools can be used to grant access and edit privileges for sites to any user on a global or lesser level (school, department, or subject area) based on the University's course hierarchy. In addition, privileges may be further limited to "edit" (similar to the Instructor rile) or "view-only," and to individual tools within course sites.

Delegated access in Sakai CLE has been used at Columbia since January 2012 with more than 300 users with varying levels of privilege such as "global view" for Helpdesk staff and "global edit" for educational technologists. Academic administration and staff are using these tools effectively to help support instructors, students and academic staff. Similar tools developed locally for use with Columbia's existing Prometheus course-management system have been used successfully for more than 10 years.
