Sakai - An Open Source Collaboration and Learning Environment
• A community and foundation—a group of people and resources supporting the code and each other, realizing large scale Open Source efficiencies
• A collaboration and learning product with: – A set of tools—written and supported by various
groups and individuals—which have been tested and released as a unit
• An extensible framework for building collaboration tyools and services—provides basic capabilities to support a wide range of tools and services—teachingand research
• An LMS that also supports online research

Putting an OCW Pipeline in the LMS -OCW Publishing from Sakai
Initial MIT OCW process has difficulty scaling.How can we support this process?

Overview of ProcessBased on Hybrid Publishing Model
Integrated with MIT Teaching Process
Plan Build Teach/Manage Publish
Upstream foundational prep
• Recruit faculty• Plan TEACHING version of
course• Plan OCW version of course• Review existing content• Identify & resolve IP (except
permissions)• Track IP by object in system
Content development
• Collect/capture existing content
• Build content into LMS sections/templates
• Enter metadata• Create commissioned works• Process permission requests
& make IP edits
Live teaching and course administration
• Update/supplement materials
• Post announcements• Assign, track, grade
student work• Interact (faculty-student
and student-student)
Open publication
• Perform course QA• Obtain faculty approval• Export to OCW site
Support
Renewal, archiving, and preservation
• Update course content• Archive course content

OCW Tool
OCW Tool – Support for the Hybrid Process
Support for Tagging in Sakai –Helping faculty, students create
tags (metadata) for:
• IP status – Creative Commons+• OCW Navigation – MIT Categories• Export – Choose what to put on

Planning
&
Training
Upstream foundational preparation
•Recruit faculty•Plan TEACHING version of course•Plan OCW version of course•Review existing content•Identify & resolve IP (except permissions)•Track IP by object in system
Build Teach/Manage Publish
Planning Phase Includes “Training” for Faculty and Support Staff in Colleges and Depertments
All done within LMS faculty are already familiar with
IP Object tracking comes along with the use of the system
Training has additional benefits in educating faculty on IP
Support staff distributed throughout university

Build Teach/Manage Publish
Teaching and Managing Course Materials
All done within LMS faculty are already familiar with
IP Object tracking can proceed throughout course
Materials/Objects can be tagged with OCW categories (Syllabus,
Lecture Notes, Assignments, etc.) wherever they come from,
wiki, blog…
Increasingly, objects tagged by system, eg, Assignments
•Collect existing content•Build content into LMS sections or templates
•Enter metadata•Create commissioned works•Process permission requests & make IP edits
•Update and supplement materials•Post to email, wikis, blogs, announcements, discussions, forums, IM
•Assign, track, grade student work•Interact (faculty-student and student-student) through all channels above
1/25/2006 13
Content Development and Teaching Proceed Throughout Course Period
•Take advantage of that – OCW Tool is available to add tags anytime in development or teaching
•Capture IP and OCW category metadata as class proceeds, as new material is developed
•Perhaps have a student ‘scribe’ who has permissions set to add metadata – when new document appears, they tag it – perhaps make this a class activity, develop student incentives (e.g., better future access)
•Have system flag incomplete data on objects – direct faculty or students to places of needed metadata
Build Teach/Manage

OCW Tool + eduCommons
•Perform course Quality Assurance
•Obtain faculty approval•Export to OCW site
PublishQA done within eduCommons by
staff – local or central
Faculty receives an email with the URL of the QA’d OCW site,
decides whether or not to authorize publishing
If NO, faculty given available support – local or central –
supported through eduCommons workflow
If YES, OCW site is published through eduCommons
Open publication
This work very much in progress, thanks to support from Hewlett
Foundation, and ongoing efforts from Utah State University and the University of
Michigan
