Additional Comments:
File Exchange can be accomplished in a number of different ways within the Sakai CLE. First, by using the resources tool, students may share material with others in a group setting. Second, students may place material in a drop box and share with their peers. Third, students may create a portfolio of their work and share within anyone inside or outside the system. In addition: * Sakai optionally allows students to create their own project sites and add fellow students to their sites. This effectively puts all of the Sakai tools (chat, threaded discussion, calendar, file sharing, etc) in the hands of student defined groups to use as they see fit in sharing files or pursuing collaborative activities.
* Alternatively, students can submit assignments (inline or attachments) using the Assignments tool. Two versions of this tool are available - with grading or no grading capabilities, based on the needs of the adopting institution.
* Students can submit assignments in the JForum Discussion & Private Messages tool, including attachments and media. This allows for peer reviews of the submitted work.
* Students can submit materials in the Resources tool, if permissions for adding new resources is enabled by the instructor, allowing students to gather and share resources on a topic in a common location of the course siteThere are numerous tools that support file exchange in Sakai. Some of these include:
Dropbox which allows students and instructors to share files via upload or webdav capability on a site.
Dropbox offers email notification for new items and color coding for boxes with recent changes.
Resources tool supports single or multi-file upload of content to group dropboxes for file exchange.
Permissions can be set appropriately for groups at the folder level.
Assignments tool supports more traditional submission of text or uploaded assignments to instructors with gradebook integration
Files can also be shared with individuals or groups using the Blog tool, Wiki tool, Mailtool, Messages tool or JForum, allowing for peer review of shared work.
A collection of a user's work can also be shared in a number of the Sakai ePortfolio tools such as the Matrix, Wizard, and Portfolio tools.
