Description
One of the challenges of using and re-using content in Sakai has been the problem of migrating embedded links to content and activities from one site to another. The talented team of developers at the University of Virginia has successfully implemented a solution to this link migration problem. This solution allows us to promote the Interactive Syllabus and Lesson Builder tools as sustainable methods for structuring and delivering course content to students from one semester to the next. This session focuses on the development and implementation of the link migration functionality as it applies to the Interactive Syllabus and Lesson Builder tools for links to or embedded in Syllabus, Resources, Assignments, Forums, and Tests & Quizzes.

Thanks for your presentation and your great work on this tool! You asked me to share my suggestion that your script that closes the Samigo window so the user remains in iSyllabus include a link to the feedback provided for a test or quiz. Otherwise, it will be difficult/impossible for the student to view the feedback. Ann Jensen, aj14@txstate.edu
