[DG: User / Using Sakai] Creating sites in sakai

[Josh Baron]

Am,

Others with more technical knowledge will probably give you a better 
explanation but basically, the "Sites" tool is more of a pure 
administrator tool that allows you to create sites that you can 
significantly customize...it is a more complex tool that less technical 
folks would probably not want to use.  The Worksite Setup tool, in my mind 
at least, is more of a "wizard" based tool that also allow you to set up a 
course site but through a more step-by-step process.  Thus, it is less 
complex but also does not allow for as much customization.

So, basically, both tools end up doing the same thing in the end, creating 
sites, but one is more for "admin" use and the other is for more general 
users.

Hope that helps, Josh

As Sakai Admin we can create new sites in two ways:
 
1)      Worksite Setup > New Site
2)      Sites > New Site
 
Can someone please explain to me what the difference is? I can see with 
the option 1) I need to provide an academic term for course sites.
 
Thanks and regards,
Am Khan
