What will stay the same in Sakai 21?
Many functions are unchanged -- or nearly the same -- in the new version. The following tools have minimal changes in Sakai 19:
- Announcements
- Blogs
- Drop Box
- Email and Email Archive
- Forums
- Home/Site Overview
- Meetings
- Resources
What will happen to my course content and data?
Content and data in your existing course sites (and project sites) will stay the same. Just the tools and buttons you use to interact with your content will look different, and some tools will have new features you can use. You can start building your Summer/Fall 2019 courses on the current version if you like and that content will still be there after the upgrade is done.
How will the Sakai 19 upgrade affect students?
Aside from the new look-and-feel, changes in functionality for students will be minimal. Instructional Technologies has provided videos and support materials for students, closer to the rollout of the new version.
How can I learn more about Sakai 19?
Instructional Technologies is hard at work learning and testing the new version, updating support materials, and planning training to help faculty make the transition. In March-April 2019, a number of presentations, hands-on training sessions, and other resources were offered to help faculty learn the new features.
For those that couldn't make it to one of the face-to-face sessions, on April 16, 2019, we offered the What's New in Sakai 19? WEBINAR
