[Using Sakai] Using SAKAI Course sites

[Earle Nietzel]

Hi Igor,

The Course Management API goal was to try an accommodate the needs of
varying institutions. It is not intended that every institution will need
to use all of its capabilities but rather that it was designed such that it
would meet the individual needs.

This confluence page may help:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/CM/Course+Management+API

Here is a sample implementation that uses a quartz job to load data from
files into the CM tables:

regards,
Earle
