Welcome to the Teaching and Learning (T&L) Group!


The T&L Group Mission

To drive innovation on teaching and learning within the Sakai community. To share best practices, understandings and experiences among faculty members themselves and between faculty and other Sakai community members. To communicate the goals and issues of the teaching and learning community to contributors in Sakai including developers, UI, system administrators, documentation, support, QA.


Hello and welcome! The confluence site is the gathering place for folks interested in teaching and learning within the Sakai community. We are actively looking for more folks to contribute and add to this community effort so please wonder around and join in in any way you want.

To get involved, join the DG: Teaching & Learning group in Sakai collab. Here is a quick guide to the Sakai community or e-mail Josh Baron at Josh.Baron@marist.edu.

This space is an interactive documentation process. While you should give thought to what you add here, don't be afraid to edit existing pages or add add new ones. Confluence is very good at tracking versions, so you can go back to see what changed at any time.

Gathering and Sharing Teaching and Learning Practices

Teaching & Learning Repository

The Sakai T&L community is attempting to determine the best way to gather and share "teaching and learning practices" among users of Sakai. As of February, 2008, we have decided to combine efforts with the already established OSP Community Library which will be generalizing its repository to foster the collection of T&L resources from Sakai, OSP, AAC&U and other groups and projects, following the inter-project model of Fluid. The new repository can be found at:
openedpractices.org

We discuss the repository in this wiki on the Combined Teaching and Learning Repository.

    I have added some pedagogical questions that we need to focus on, I think.
    I know that some other Europeans are working on this subject too. I will try to point them to this page and ask them to share their thoughts over here.
    For sure, we will be discussing this issue in Lubeck on the European Sakai Day (www.oncampus.de/sakai).

    I think the questions that were pointed out by Wytze are really what the educational requirements are about. Other issues are too often interpreted in terms of functionality / components in Sakai. One of the conclusions at the Lubeck conference is that we now should really focus more on the learners. They are the real stakeholders here.

    I think these thoughts related to my feeling that the pedagogy group may want to try and focus more "purely" on instructional issues related to teaching and learning with Sakai and stear away from technical issues. This comment is by no means an attempt to minimize the importance of the technical "challenges", particular those related to UX issues, that we as the Sakai community face today. These, in my opinion, are critical issues and ones that need to take top priority right now within the community.

    My feeling is just that we already have a lot of folks focused on and discussing these technical and UI issues (I'm involved in these on a limited basis myself). Since these discussion are already being moved forward, I have begun to think that this is a good time for some of us to focus more exclusively on the uses of Sakai, as it is today, in ways that can truly innovate the teaching and learning process.

    Although I recognize (and struggle myself in my role at my institution to deal with them) that the tools within Sakai are not perfect (yet) and can be limiting at times for instructors, I also believe that they can be used in very powerful ways, as they are today, to radically improve how we teach and students learn.

    I've started to try and stimulate a discussion on this and plan for some related sessions in Newport along with many others on the Pedagogy DG so if there are others with an interest in this topic please join that list on Collab and jump into the discussion!
