Sakai: directions for students

Log into Sakai with your Rutgers NetID and password at http://sakai.rutgers.edu
If your professor has added you to a course site, you'll see that as a "tab" along the top, next to the "My Workspace" tab (note that when you have too many tabs, they will move onto a drop-down menu to the right).
Click on the tab for your course
Notice the tools down the left-hand column (different courses may offer different tools). Some common tools include:
- HOME - may include course description and recent announcements, or other info
- ANNOUNCEMENTS - generally displays all the announcements made by your instructor during the semester
- ASSIGNMENTS - if your instructor has posted assignments with this tool, you'll be able to see the assignment, read the instructions, and submit your work here.
- SYLLABUS
- RESOURCES - most common repository for course documents, including readings, PowerPoint lectures, web links, etc. Click on the document you want, then choose "open" or "save"
- DISCUSSION - official course discussions, if your professor chooses to use this tool
Be sure to log off when you're done with Sakai
