Sakai is a powerful tool for teaching and collaboration but, like any tool, it can be used more or less effectively. You can find creative ways of using Sakai by thinking about the type of class you are teaching and the kind of learning activities you would like students to undertake. The suggestions provided in this chapter form an excellent starting point, but feel free to adapt them to your own needs — you know your content and students best.
The next chapter, The Administration Workspace, introduces the administrative features of Sakai. You can find more information about teaching with Sakai in Chapter 14, Innovating Teaching and Learning with Sakai. This chapter describes two courses that won awards for innovative uses of Sakai.
