[Using Sakai] sakai-user Digest, Vol 40, Issue 2

Mon Jun 4 12:31:00 PDT 2012

Dear Fatima,

The capability to embed links to actual items created in Assignments, Forums, and Tests & Quizzes is not a function of the Resources tool, rather it is an enhancement to the FCKeditor Server Browser (called Resources Browser) wherever the *editor* is available in Sakai. The enhancement utilizes the EntityProvider in each of these three tools to display specific items in those tools, similar to the existing display of content stored in Resources. So, what you're seeing are not Headings in Resources, but rather you are seeing the titles of each tool. These, in turn, can be expanded to list items in those tools to select for linking.

I hope this helps to clarify. Let me know if you have other questions.

HI .
Thanks so much for  sharing this  Patricia . This is really  nifty....
but  am a bit confused...Its seems like it's more the Resources tool that has been enhanced to  collate items  under the various  tools i.e.
Test and Quizzes , Assignments etc. We're using the CK editor  which can certainly  link to  items in the Resources folder but not under  the specific headings in the Resources folder ( which in your  demo the various  content  material is portrayed as being stored under). Am I
missing something  here?

Greetings, fellow members of the Sakai Community,

The UVaCollab (Sakai) team at the University of Virginia wants you to know about enhancements we have made to turbo-charge the FCKeditor in Sakai! We have extended the existing functionality of the editor's Resources Browser that allows linking to content in Resources by adding the capability to also link to activities created in Assignments, Forums, and Tests & Quizzes. We call this turbo-charged functionality
RALE: Resources and Activities Linking Editor.

Check out this short (< 5min) video to see this functionality in action and discover how it can transform an instructor's ability to structure delivery of content to students in their course sites:

   https://collab.itc.virginia.edu/docs/videos/rale/rale-video.html

For more details about these enhancements and to learn about our solution for migrating these embedded links from one site to another when using site duplication or import from site, come to our session at the Jasig-Sakai Conference in Atlanta:

We'll also be at the Tech Demo on Wednesday evening to demo and answer questions. See you in Atlanta!

Tim Sigmon, Yitna Firdyiwek, and Trisha Gordon University of Virginia
