[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] SAKAI as central repository for marks?

Tue Aug 28 05:15:16 PDT 2012

Hi Fatima:

We have some customers with Sakai. Some of them use Sakai as the mark repository (really not the bigest ones that as UPV (david roldán) because they have their own mark application)

As gradebook allows to you add “manual” tasks and import scores for an excel they are using these features to store scores in Sakai for electronic and not electronic issues. 

The problem they have is when the final score calculation formula it’s complex. (A sample: 20% Presence + 60% Test an 30% Assignments but if you take more than 8 in tests then you can add 0.5 extra points in Assignments and….ufff )  This kind of estrange evaluation ways are a nightmare in Gradebook and not possible to store in gradebook.  Then gradebook is not enough for this. 

Well you always can use PostEM too creating your excels manually and uploading to Postem tool…  It’s a really simple tool, but maybe it can be easy to do some extra developments to improve Postem to become it a mark repository…. And (for example) to allow take reports for postem… I’m only thinking…mmm… it sounds interesting….

Best wishes!

Asunto: [Building Sakai] SAKAI as central repository for marks?

Hi All

Having just  migrated to SAKAI from WEBCT , our University is now looking to  see whether we could utilise SAKAI as our central repository  for marks. Whilst I am concerned that this  may be too an ambitious move just yet(too premature especially since  we have had just experienced an instance of content  disappearing  from a course and then magically  returning:)- we still haven’t determined what the problem was and am presently  keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn’t occur again!)  I would  however like to  enquire from the community if there  are any instances where  SAKAI  has been used as the primary repository  for marks and what the experience has been ?

Your input is always much appreciated. Just  love the sharing that this forum provides!
