Sakai 101
Sakai 101 is USA’s basic certification program that represents the minimum competencies* required for using Sakai CLE effectively for courses and collaborative projects.
*The competencies for each part of Sakai 101 can be seen here.
Individuals can achieve Sakai 101 Certification three different ways:
- by successfully completing the four-part on-campus training workshops delivered by the ILC
- by successfully completing the four-part online training modules delivered by the ILC through Sakai
- by providing evidence of the required competencies without formal ILC training
Each module is designed to take about two hours. No matter which option you choose, you must start with Part 1. After you complete Part 1, you can take the other modules in any order or in any of the three available modalities.
Sakai 101 On-Campus Workshops
The Innovation in Learning Center offers the four-part Sakai 101 Workshop series at least once each week during the semester. Most weeks, these are offered in half-day blocks, with Parts 1 and 2 taught one day, and Parts 3 and 4 offered two days later at the same time. A full-day, Parts 1-4 session is also taught several times over the course of the semester.
Individual parts can be taken separately, if necessary, but you must complete Part 1 before any of the other modules.
