[Building Sakai] Course Site Setup

[Kara Stiles]

Hi Michele,

You can manually create a course site in Sakai by going to worksite setup,
clicking "new" and selecting the "course" option.  There are, as the
documentation states, some extra fields to complete (subject, course
number, etc.) but you can just invent values for those fields.  As long as
you have at least one term in place, you should be able to create the
course site manually without any SIS integrations in place.

Thanks,
Kara
