Bye Bye Blackboard
All courses after Spring 2012 will be run in Sakai. Faculty must move their course content from Blackboard to Sakai before September 1, 2012. After that date Blackboard will no longer be available. ITS is here to help!
Setting Up Sakai Courses
To start, go to myhome.ithaca.edu, login and click on the Quick Access menu to get to Sakai. Click on Worksite Setup and follow the prompts to create a new course site. You don't have to do anything in Homer!
Grouping Rosters
When setting up courses in Sakai, faculty will have the option of joining multiple rosters (or sections) to a course; this functionality is similar to the grouping functionality in Blackboard, but without the Homer interface.
Tools and Support
Additional drop-in support and consulting is available in the Center for Educational Technology (CET), 1st floor, Job Hall. Marilyn Dispensa and Mary Jo Watts are also available to address any instructional design questions.
See the ITS Sakai support site and Sakai training video library for more information.
