Sakai 

Beginning Fall 2008, the lab will transition to using Sakai, an open source course management system. Lab members are expected to log-in to Sakai at https://sakai.rutgers.edu and check for announcements and updates when signing in for office hours, and are also encouraged to use the system whenever they are doing lab-related work at school and at home.

Logging In

Lab members will be added to the Sakai page automatically. Lab members will use their RUID and password to get into the system. After logging in, a tab titled “Rutgers Social Organizational Lab” should be available. If it is not, you have not been added to the roster and should e-mail Mike (mkuang1@rci.rutgers.edu) for access.
