Major changes in Sakai 11

Sakai 11 has a new look-and-feel, designed to display well on mobile devices. With the new design come a few navigational changes. View the video below to learn how to navigate in Sakai 11 and to get a preview of other significant changes.

Lessons

The Lessons tool has been completely redesigned, with consolidated menus and the ability to arrange content in blocks or columns. Also, instructors can add a question to any page and create checklists to track student progress.

Tests & Quizzes
