The Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment is a web-based application that supports teaching, learning and scholarly collaboration with a number of publishing tools. Sakai will allow faculty to supplement their face-to-face teaching, while online courses will utilize the application to teach courses completely on-line with minimal or no face-to-face meeting.

WebCT Migration

To make the transition to Sakai easier, below is a comparison chart explaining the similarities and differences between WebCT tools and Sakai tools. Due to the complicated nature of the migration, Sakai administrators have offered to either perform a basic extraction (contact webct@etal.uri.edu) or an extended extraction (brutherford@mail.uri.edu). Please include the year/semester of the course, the course name, the section, and any content that should not be extracted.
