Learn to love Sakai

Sakai is many things to many people, but at the very least it can be a clear and simple way for faculty in Camden to offer course materials to their students online. Posting your course description, syllabus, class notes, assignments, readings, and/or research links on a secure but easy-to-use, web-based system can help your students work wherever they may be. Many faculty also find it useful to have quick access to class information.

In addition, using email, discussion lists, or online chat sessions can enrich class discussion and equalize participation for students with different communication styles. Some instructors find that collecting assignments and posting grades via Sakai can streamline communication with students too. Read on or contact me, Emily Corse, if you'd like a one-on-one training session (corse@rutgers.edu or x6474).

Blogs at Camden

With the generous support of OIT, we are now offering blogs to Camden faculty and departments using WordPress MU. Some new faculty sites include those for Howard Gillette, Greg Lastowka, Janet Golden, and Laurie Lally.
