Training & Events

Faculty Workshops

Workshops are hands-on training opportunities, requiring registration. In general, these sessions are brief, but follow-up sessions are always available, including one-on-one training at your deskside.

What is Sakai?

Sakai is a new "collaboration and learning environment," similar in function to WebCT or Blackboard. Click on IDT home for a brief description of Sakai and Rutgers' involvement with the Sakai project. If you are curious as to whether Sakai can aid you in your teaching or collaborative projects, contact Emily Corse at x6474 or by email at corse@rutgers.edu.... or register for a workshop!
