[Using Sakai] WebDAV & Sakai

[alaanizar]

Hi,
We at IIHEM institution, Morocco, are using WebDAV from the start.

Faculty are using it a lot.

I would vote for clarifying the capabilities of WebDAV in Sakai in clear words.

I guess that would be more than sufficient for the time being, while trying to make it better, or at least make sure what it does does it as expected. 

Yours,

</div>+1 for deprecating webdav or adding some serious disclaimers to the documentation.  I'm surprised it's still in Sakai.  It didnt work reliably in the early days of Sakai and if it still doesn't then it sounds like it's never going to measure up to user's expectations.  - Luke

Lots of outpouring of love for WebDAV - that is great since no other LMS on the planet has this functionality - WebDav is unique strength of Sakai.  By the way - not all of the "Big 5" LMS have drag and drop upload so we are ahead there as well.

I never said "delete" - only "deprecate".   But clearly even deprecate is a bad idea.  I got the message :).

I guess we just need to review the documentation in "Upload / Download Multiple" and make *sure*we don't mislead users into thinking it is more capable than it is.

Survey says .....

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/TCC/Sakai+Tool+Survey+Results+2014

Over 80% use Upload-Download Multiple Resources. If you look at the comments, some explain problems with Shibboleth, recommending Cyberduck, with one "Quite useful though."  Comments on the survey are not required, so only a handful do.

70 institutions take the survey, so a reasonable sample size.
