Customizations
The registration and course enrollment processes for MOOCs are different than 'traditional' LMS implementations. Sakai does not support all these things out-of-the-box. Below is an overview of existing custom Sakai functionality that supports typical MOOC use cases.
- Web course tool by Edia
The web course tool manages open online courses in Sakai CLE. Maintainers are able to configure course offerings, by entering information for a public catalogue and opening the site for enrollment. Students can browse a course catalogue and enroll for the course they want to follow.
