Policies
Fall 2009
These are the current policies in effect for course sites using Sakai@UD:
- Creating course sites: Only the person(s) listed in UDSIS as an instructor of a course can create a Sakai@UD site for that course. The creator of the course site can add others to the course and set the permission level for those users.
- Student access to course sites: Each semester students registered for courses whose rosters are added to a Sakai@UD site will have access to the published Sakai@UD course site a few days prior to the first day of classes. The date will be announced on the Sakai@UD gateway.
- Beginning of each semester: Courses must be created each semester because registered students are identified by semester. A course can be duplicated from a previous semester or content from some individual tools can be imported from an earlier semester's course.
- End of each semester: Approximately one month after the end of a semester, courses will be unpublished so students, assistants and guests will not have access. Each semester a notice will be posted on the Sakai@UD gateway announcing when this will occur. After that date, at their discretion, instructors can republish any course, and make some participants inactive, if necessary.
- Copyright considerations: All material delivered through
Sakai@UD should adhere to copyright laws. It is
the responsibility of the person posting the
information to obtain permission to do so. Since the
law is complex, you might find these guides helpful:
