This manual covers the Sakai Open Academic Environment (OAE), a collaborative system designed for university campuses. The OAE functions as a social network, facilitating discussions on class materials, research pursuits, and communication with faculty, all within a private forum. This guide is intended for IT specialists in educational institutions, as well as academic and instructional technologists, providing methods for deploying, customizing, and managing the OAE.
The manual details how to modify key areas of the OAE's source code, including profiles, courses, permissions, and content, to adapt the network to specific campus needs. It explores the creation of research projects and online course companions, the management of privacy settings, and the customization of the OAE's appearance. Furthermore, it guides users through integrating with LDAP for account management, installing widgets to extend functionality, connecting to web servers and databases, and provides a checklist for production deployment.
