Dear All,
In consequence of the OULS name change to Bodleian Libraries, SOLO,
OxLIP+ and OU e-Journals have been given new URLs. They are respectively:
These new URLs are now in operation. The old forms will continue to
function until the .ouls.ox.ac.uk domain is withdrawn 1 March 2012 but
please start using the new forms and update your bookmarks, web pages
and documentation accordingly.
The OLIS Web OPAC URL – http://library.ox.ac.uk – remains unchanged.
Michael Korcuska made this presentation about the Sakai Project when he visited Universidad Polytechnica de Valencia in 2007: http://polimedia.upv.es/visor/?id=7f1f319b-7bd5-0b43-8b81-8bb5660d70a5
It’s been something like 9 months since my last blog post. I can’t really blame it on Twitter, either, since I’m not really tweeting much. I guess this year’s Hola Mohalla resolution will be to do “more blogging, more tweeting, make more noise”.
Anyhow, I’m at JASIG’s spring conference, presenting Matterhorn’s services, technologies, scope, and roadmap. I’ve posted my slides as pdf and keynote files.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224100I had a bunch of trouble getting a GNOME launcher to successfully execute (interestingly enough, the Eclipse/STS launchers mostly worked fine) – turned out it was related to JDK_HOME not being recognized by GNOME. I’d gotten accustomed to setting up my environment variables in ~/.bashrc and sourcing that into .profile – apparently GNOME looks in /etc/environment.
Will write up some more thoughts based on a few days usage in a bit. All better for now. Links:
Introduction
I have written code to make the management of adhoc groups easier, all in pure HTML (no RSF, no JSF, no JAVA). Using Entity Broker and JavaScript, I have introduced more contemporary methods to adding, removing and replacing user membership at group level.
Problem case:
Currently the UI for managing adhoc groups (Site Setup > Adhoc Groups) is clunky, unsearchable and very difficult to use for large groups ( > 100 members).
Current UI:

Solution:
I propose this UI:

Technical: How to implement this in your sakai 2.6.x instance
FYI, ONLY if the ${SITE_ID} parameter does not translate to a proper site ID as expected, do this:
That's it.
Drop a comment for any questions/issues/suggestions.
A news item was published about the University of Delaware Learning Management System Committee spring meeting on Feb. 23. The LMS Committee is a 41-member University-wide committee whose members are ambassadors to their departments regarding the use of Sakai@UD
Deputy Provost Havidán Rodríguez ... spoke about how Sakai enhances teaching and learning and allows increased communication between students and faculty. The good news, according to Rodríguez, is that no courses remain on MyCourses (WebCT) for the spring semester. This puts the project four months ahead of its original deadline.
Mathieu Plourde, IT Client Support and Services, elaborated on the Sakai@UD project timeline. This spring, there are 1226 Sakai@UD courses, representing 40 percent of all University rosters. Following Plourde's talk, Kathy Pusecker, associate director of the Office of Educational Assessment, thanked IT Client Support and Services for their support of the recent e-portfolio grant process. Twelve projects were awarded grants to deploy e-portfolios that will enable students to reflect on their work, showcase their best artifacts, and allow the University to gather data on the achievement of our general education and programmatic goals. The ultimate goal is to make portfolios a tool that the entire University community can use.
The meeting also featured presentations by three faculty members who use Sakai@UD to enhance their students' learning in interesting ways.
