1. From the Executive Director
As you may have read on the Sakai mail lists, the Sakai Foundation
Board of Directors and I, the Executive Director (who is not a board
member), will be having a retreat on February 9th and 10th. The
retreat is being hosted by Marist College (in Poughkeepsie, NY), home
of Sakai Board member Josh Baron.
While a strategy retreat is a good exercise on an occasional basis in
any case, I think this is a particularly important time for one. There
are two major reasons for this. The first is obvious perhaps: the
emergence of Sakai 3. This will mean a transition in the community
and, therefore, at least the potential for change in the goals and
activities of the Sakai Foundation itself (e.g., what is our relative
emphasis on supporting 2.x versus helping push 3.0 forward?). The
second reason, though, is that there continues to be analysis of how
Sakai product design and development work should happen. These issues
have always been present but the proposal for Sakai 3 has brought them
to the forefront.
We'd love to get your views on these issues. As usual, the advocacy
list remains a good place for public discussion of these matters. But
feel free to send an email to me or any member of the board.

3. New Forum Tool
Hi all,
This is an announcement of yet another forum tool for Sakai. Some
Sakai people may have seen it already as Steve Swinsburg talked about
it at the recent Australian Sakai conference. It's called Yaft (Yet
Another Forum Tool), which is a bad name I know but at least there
little chance of name clashes in contrib, and has come out of a
requirements gathering exercise at Lancaster University (UK).
For more details have a look at the confluence page. There are some
screen shots and binaries there.

4. Columbia Upgraded to Recent 2.5.x
Hello everyone,
On Sunday, January 11, Columbia upgraded its long-running Sakai pilot
to a very recent version of the 2.5.x maintenance branch for the
upcoming Spring semester.
In addition, we are using the post_2-5 branch of the Polls tool and
have introduced Mailsender (1.4 branch) as a drop-in replacement for
Mailtool, which we used for more than three years.
For more detailed information, please feel free to contact me directly.

5. Article Draft: "RESTful Sakai: Entities, SData and Widgets"
I've written a technical article that outlines some of the new work in
the Community that is focusing on REST-based content addressability,
clean URL spaces and client-side snippets of user-facing functionality
known as widgets. I focus in particular on the server-side Poll Tool,
which has implemented a number of entity providers in order to expose
its shareable domain objects and its lightweight JavaScript cousin the
Poll widget.
The latest clean version can be read here:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=d7s4gpm_16c6hz57ck&pageview=1&hgd=1&hl=enAs I noted above this is a technical piece with code snippets and
technical jargon. It targets the Sakai developer community and those
beyond who are interested in the software-side of the new ideas and
approaches powering the Sakai 3 effort outlined earlier by Michael
Korcuska in his Sakai 3 proposal (http://3akai.sakaiproject.org/access/content/group/sakai3/Sakai%203%20Proposal%20v08.pdf
). So it won't be of interest to all.
If you choose to read the draft, I would appreciate critical feedback
on it. No doubt there are omissions, muddled prose and other obstacles
to a clear understanding of the refactored EntityBroker service,
RESTful approaches and client-side development practices.

7. What's New With Using Sakai?
The End-User Support and Teaching and Learning group held a joint call
on January 13th. Discussions took place, lead by Peter Knoop,
regarding the creation of a "Using Sakai" umbrella confluence page for
these, and possibly other groups, that would make it easier for those
new to Sakai to understand what the groups do and how to get involved.
The two groups also discussed Sakai 3 and how they could help
contribute in more ways to this effort. Finally, Robin Hill from the
University of Wyoming demonstrated, through a Breeze session (thanks
to folks at Indiana), some of the innovative approach her faculty are
taking with Sakai course sites.
The group has scheduled a SECOND JOINT CONFERENCE CALL for February 4,
2009 at 11:30 AM EST during which Peter Knoop will demo Sakai 3. This
will lead into a more detailed discussion of how folks involved in
"using Sakai" can contribute. Details on how to connect to this call
will be posted to the End User and Teaching and Learning lists shortly.

8. Sakai Use Case: Stanford Language Center
Following is a brief account of how we use Sakai in the Stanford
Language Center, based on our presentation at ACTFL2007 and the
Stanford Language Center Annual Report.
This is on the web, with a link to the slides from the source
presentation, at http://www.stanford.edu/dept/lc/language/about/
LCAssessmentProgram.html
-----
"From Placement Testing to Exit Testing and Assessments in Between"
Stanford Language Center: Elizabeth Bernhardt, Joan Molitoris, Alice
Miano, Sara Gelmetti, Kenric Tsethlikai, Ken Romeo
Overview
Over the last 10 years, under the leadership of Professor Elizabeth
Bernhardt, the Stanford Language Center has worked to implement a
systemic and systematic assessment program for all languages. This has
centered on the Stanford language requirement but has made use of the
national standards laid out in Standards for Foreign Language Learning
in the 21st Century (1999) by the American Council on the Teaching of
Foreign Languages (ACTFL). While Stanford's online learning management
system (LMS) is a key component of this effort, it is important to
note that the program is built around proficiency standards, which
drive the pedagogy, and not around the LMS. The LMS, previously
CourseWork, and now Sakai, is used to facilitate the movement of some
formative and summative assessment out of the classroom in order to
provide more time for teachers to actually interact with their
students. Similarly, it is crucial to understand that there are clear
goals for this program, the foremost being to improve student
proficiency. If we cannot show progress, then there really is very
little reason for doing any of it. This improvement is the goal of the
department, and indeed the goal of the university. Consequently, it is
important for the Language Center to be able to show that we are
fulfilling Stanford's language requirement and we are able to use the
successes we have as a way to appeal for the resources needed to
achieve this goal. In addition, we enhance our credibility both inside
and outside the university by showing that students are improving.
Finally, when clear proficiency standards are used, we are able to
ensure a certain level of programmatic consistency within and across
languages. Among the positive results of this effort to build
curriculum around proficiency standards are more highly trained staff,
a professional conversation about the role and use of these standards,
and an increased interest among departments in the proficiency
notation. Most importantly, however, students have shown a 20%
increase in proficiency in the first year, and a 24% increase in the
second year, and have given a very positive reaction to the curriculum.
Assessment components
The program starts with placement testing, which consists of an
online, text-based assessment during the summer and then an on-
campus oral assessment during freshman orientation, both done outside
of the learning management system. At the end of the academic year,
first and second year students take a Simulated Oral Proficiency
Interview (SOPI) online, which is administered through the LMS using
special software. As the name suggests, this assessment simulates a
live interview with a series of questions that require oral responses.
In order to do this, the software has to be designed so that users do
not have control over the media and timing of the test: items play and
recording starts and stops automatically, with no opportunity to pause
or go back. Banks of these items are created by the staff at the
Language Center, based on ACTFL oral proficiency interview guidelines,
which can then be used for placement tests, year-end exit testing,
overseas studies testing, occasional or external testing and
proficiency notation guidance. In the 2007-2008 academic year, nearly
1000 students participated in placement testing across all languages,
while roughly 650 students took the online first and second year exit
exam in nine languages. Multiple prompts are developed so that
multiple unique tests can be created. A "task force", including
administrators, coordinators and instructors, meets several times to
create the final drafts. Artwork is contracted and instructions and a
range of native-language prompts are recorded. These are all then
transformed into paper test booklets or loaded into the SOPI software.
Paper placement tests are delivered in classrooms or auditoria around
campus, but the SOPI is administered in the Digital Language Lab.
Results are accessed through the LMS, archived to CD-ROM, and assessed
over the summer by internal OPI testers. The results go directly to
the office of the President, to show that the Language Center is
indeed fulfilling the university's language requirement. This
development effort is ongoing, in response to new languages and new
technologies, like Sakai.
Curriculum
Curriculum is also based on these proficiency guidelines, and in order
to evaluate students, coordinators have created computer- assisted
online diagnostic assignments (OnDAs) of two types: oral diagnostic
assessments (ODAs) and written diagnostic assessments (WDAs). ODAs are
delivered four times per term for first and second year students and,
while WDAs are still in the pilot stage, they are run twice each term
in several languages. Prompts in these OnDAs are tailored according to
the proficiency level that is being assessed and structured after a
live oral proficiency interview: a warm-up and a level check, then
probes for more challenging functions, spiraling up the levels, and
finally a wind-down that returns the student to a comfort level. The
oral proficiency assessments are done in the assignments tool by
embedding an image or video and the audio recording item type and the
written diagnostic assessments are done using the short answer / essay
item type in a timed assignment. These items are all created by the
coordinators for each language and are posted as assignments to
separate "resource" sites. Instructors are members of this site and
they copy the necessary assignments into their own sites. The OnDAs
are evaluated on a credit/no credit basis and students are given
individual feedback, although each department determines how this is
implemented: some departments give feedback in the LMS, but some
departments give it verbally in individual meetings. The assessment
criteria are based on ACTFL guidelines and students are rated on how
the task is performed or how severely communication is impeded. The
Language Center has found that because OnDAs can be taken
individually, not only can class time can be maximized and optimized
for useful practice, pressure to perform is also generally reduced.
However, it is important to note that both students and instructors
need to be familiar with the technology, and comfortable using it.
Beyond first year
After the first year, students begin to work much more on oral and
written presentational language. While the pedagogy involved in
writing is easily facilitated by tools in Sakai such as file upload,
presentations have always been much more difficult to implement in
pedagogically sound ways. The ideal method has always been to provide
feedback in addition to making the recordings of presentations
available to both the students and the instructors. In the past, this
was often done with videotape, but digitizing video has streamlined
the process, although the size of the files produced often makes it
difficult to send them by email. Posting these files is possible, but
often students are not comfortable with individuals other than
instructors having access to their video. Sakai's drop box has
provided the solution to this dilemma, and a WebDAV interface allows
files of any size to be uploaded. The classrooms in the Digital
Language Lab have been outfitted with video capture carts with simple
mini-DV cameras and shotgun microphones connected to MacBookPros which
capture the video in QuickTime Pro. The encoding settings are adjusted
so that the file is as small as is reasonably possible, and a link to
the WebDAV for each site working in that room is placed on the desktop
of the machine. Instructors are given a brief orientation but most are
able to handle the process themselves. They are encouraged to use a
mini-DV tape in addition to the capture system, just in case there are
technical difficulties. This system is also used for graduate level
ESL classes that focus on presentation and teaching assistant skills.
Into the future
This program has worked well for several years now, and its success is
a credit to the efforts of both the Language Center and Academic
Computing. We look forward to the new challenges and possibilities
that changing technologies will bring us and have high hopes for the
benefits we will be able to offer to our students.
