Description

It sounded easy enough... migrate 8,000 courses from eCollege to Sakai; train 1,400 instructors, integrate Sakai into the existing SIS, and create a new Sakai customer support system while continuing to develop new courses. After one year in Sakai, our eLearning team has a long list of things we wish someone would have told us before we started. In this session, we share our lessons learned.

If you are considering Sakai or are new, this workshop is for you. We were in your shoes last year, and we're here to answer the questions you don't know to ask.

* Learn what you must do BEFORE an orientation with your hosting service.
* Discover top faculty challenges and how we overcame them.
* Learn how to prepare for course migration into Sakai.
* Discover course design tricks for development in Sakai.
* Sample Sakai TV and other training tools that you can adapt for your faculty.

You will take home a valuable collection of practical strategies that you can implement immediately.
