2012-06-13 CalCentral: Building an "Academic Commons"

Description

UC Berkeley's early implementation strategy for the Sakai OAE was unorthodox. It focused on using the new platform to begin orchestrating a range of critical, but scattered, underutilized, or poorly delivered student services not usually considered part of the LMS domain. The plan remains that as the OAE provides increasingly richer support for teaching, learning, and research, CalCentral, UCB's branding of the OAE, will gradually bring together in one location access to the administrative, social, and academic services most common to student campus life.

This strategy recognized from the beginning that there would be parallel opportunities to build and organize services tailored to the needs of UCB's faculty and staff. We expect CalCentral to emerge as UCB's online Academic Commons - a place where the entire campus community can engage with each other. The teaching and learning mission creates the nexus.

Please come hear about the challenges and how we hope to achieve the vision.
