Sakai

All course web pages are on Sakai by default. Sakai requires no HTML knowledge and can be picked up quickly from the tutorial site. The help on the site itself is very detailed.

Notes

Course sites are not automatically created.

Only the instructor for a course can create the site for that course.

8. Click Finish.
