About Sakai LMS
sakai ug edu gh login Learning Management System
Sakai is a Learning Management System created to assist faculty and students by providing online tools for communication, assessment, content delivery, etc.
Sakai is composed of sites, and each site has a number of tools selected by the site creator. There is also a special site, My Workspace (private to you), where you can access personal information and change your settings.
Assignment
The Assignments tool allows instructors to create, distribute, collect, and grade online assignments.
Assignments are typically private; student submissions are not visible to other users of the site. However, the instructor has the option to enable peer evaluation of assignments if desired.
Assignments may be submitted via file upload or inline using the Rich Text Editor, depending on instructor preference.
How to Add Assignment
Go to the Assignment tool.
Select the Assignments tool from the Tools Menu in your site.
Click Add.
Click the Add button to add a new assignment.
Give your assignment a title.
The title of your assignment should be something descriptive and unique, as this is the title students will see when they go to the Assignments tool to submit their work.
Add assignment instructions.
Enter the instructions for the assignment into the Rich Text Editor. You may use the editor to format your assignment description, and add images, links, or other media if desired.
Add honor pledge. (Optional)
If you would like to add an honor pledge to your assignment, check the Add honor pledge box.
Student View of Honor Pledge
When the honor pledge option is selected, students must agree to the statement pictured above that reads “I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance on this assignment” in order to submit their assignment.
Add Attachments. (Optional)
If you would like to attach any additional files to the assignment, such as a grading rubric or peer review rubric, click the Add attachments button to browse for and attach file/s.
Specify the availability.
When you create a new assignment, the Open Date will default to the current day, and the Due Date and Accept Until dates will default to one week later. Change the dates using the calendar icon to bring up the date-picker pop-up calendar.
The Open Date for your assignment is when it becomes available for students.
The Due Date is the deadline to turn in the assignment.
The Accept Until date allows you to accept late submissions after the due date (late student submissions marked as late). If you do not accept late submissions, you may leave the Due Date and Accept Until date the same.
Tip: Often, faculty like to set the time on the due date to 11:55 PM, as that is the latest time you can select on a given day. Selecting 12:00 AM will display the date as the next day, and this may confuse students about the actual due date if they assume they have all day to turn in their work.
