Sakai@MD Anderson is MD Anderson's course management system for academic and external learners. We've been using Sakai 2.6 with great success for over a year. This weekend we plan to upgrade to Sakai 2.8. There will be an outage for several hours on Saturday morning, August 13th.
The look and feel of Sakai@MD Anderson will generally remain the same, so if you've been using Sakai you may not notice the upgrade until you start using some of the tools. Most of the changes are refinements. Here are some highlights:
- Improvements to the user interface in Tests & Quizzes
- The latest announcements from all your courses now appear on your My Workspace page
- Site Stats tool to give instructors insight into their course site usage
- Time-out warning. Users will be notified when their session is about to expire.
For a complete list of Sakai 2.8 changes, see the release notes.
