Sakai
Sakai is the University’s centrally supported learning management system. You can use Sakai as a central location to communicate with students, share course materials, and collect assignments.
You must first create your Sakai course site if you do not already have one.
If you are brand new to Sakai and need more help, visit the Sakai site.
