Description
Stanford University will be adopting Google Apps for Education in the coming year. We know that our students' number one request is to see all of their course related events and deadlines in a single calendar. Given these drivers we experimented with integrating Google Calendar with Sakai CLE. In a Proof of Concept that will be piloted in the summer, we are attempting to replace the back end of the CLE Schedule Tool with Google Calendar. Our partner in this effort is the Graduate School of Business, that has been piloting Google Apps for the last year. As part of the POC, they are not only providing requirements and users, they are also developing a Google Spreadsheet-based bulk input tool for their class calendars. If we are successful, we intend to provide our findings and code to the Sakai Community.
We will outline the strategy for Google Calendar and Google Apps. We will describe the technical design and challenges of the POC and provide our user needs perspective.
