CERE - Collaborative Educational and Research Environment, is the program name for the production implementation of sakai for the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. CERE will rely on kerberos authentication and will integrate with VM specific systems including ILIOS and Athena for curriculum information.
Notes from two meetings - technical and campus implementation - are included here.
Technical Meeting
(not all notes attributed as I'm new to this group)
The planned implementation of Sakai 2.1 is underway:
- Beau reported several bugs being worked out prior to the rollup, most importantly a distauth issue in collaboration with Scott A.
- other issues noted in testing included a known 'out of memory' issue and poor performance in gradebook
- faculty clients with special needs may require custom design requests for VM sakai instance beyond the current scope
Fall 2006 implementation:
- getting hardware quotes from Sun & Dell
- importing course and session data specific to VM, i.e., the hierarchical group structure needed to deal with course sections offered at differing times
- multiple templates will be used for courses and projects as well as student, staff, and faculty based templates.
