Faculty Resources
Download all Files from a Blackboard Course - To ensure that you have a backup of all files from a Blackboard course you can download the files to a zip package which you can save to your computer or an external device, e.g., USB.
Publish a Course Site - How to publish course sites in Sakai so they are available for students.
Working with Migrated Content in Sakai (PDF, HTML) - The migration model presented in this documentation pertains to courses that were migrated from a Blackboard archive of the course created by ITRS and imported into the corresponding Sakai course by our Sakai technical services/hosting vendor, Longsight, or by ITRS staff.
Uploading Multiple Files to Sakai (PC Users, Mac Users) - There may be times when you need to upload a large number of files all at once to be placed into Sakai's Resources tool. The easiest way to upload or download multiple resources is through a process called WebDAV. Loyola recommends the use of a free tool – Cyberduck, which implements WebDAV between your local computer and Sakai.
Faculty Quick Start Guide - Guide for Teaching with Sakai: Adding/removing/renaming tools, managing student access, adding content, creating an assignment, creating an online test or quiz, setting up a discussion forum, uploading syllabus.
Adding, Removing, Reordering Tools - How to change and update the tools seen in the left-hand tool menu.
Deleting Gradebook Items - How to delete items added to the Gradebook.
Hiding Sites - If you have taught multiple courses, you may have old courses you no longer access listed on course site tabs or in the "More Sites" "drawer" at the top of the page after you log in. This tutorial shows you how to remove those sites from view. NOTE: Student access to any semester's courses will be removed automatically a few weeks after the start of the following semester.
