Description

This session will explore the historical nature of Student Information System (SIS) integration in Sakai. We will examine various methods of batch and real time integration and how they have evolved over time. The session will explore the different needs of individual institutions when it comes to synchronization of SIS data with the LMS, and how these common problems can be solved. On the menu in this session are things like terms, courses, sections, enrollments, gradebook export, and cross listing.

For the past year and a half rSmart and Sungard have engaged in a partnership to deliver IMS LIS integration between Sakai and Sungard Banner. The outcome of this work and our experiences in real world production environments will be discussed. 

Finally, in this session we discuss how we are leveraging our experiences with Sakai2 and LIS in order to bring SIS integration forward into OAE.
