rSmart offers many training resources to help users take full advantage of the rSmart Sakai CLE. Now, we've developed a new resource for the administrators who manage the CLE at their institutions: "CLE Admin Training."

With this self-paced, online course, admins can learn everything they'll need to know for maintaining a successful CLE environment--from tools in the Admin workspace for managing users and sites and troubleshooting various issues, to advanced tasks such as scheduling jobs and customizing the CLE's look and feel.

We would like to thank all who attended our recent “Build a Course in the rSmart Sakai CLE” webinar. A “winter” version of our Sakai Summer Institute, this two-day workshop drew more than 150 attendees, including users from several rSmart client institutions.

Led by rSmart Senior Education Consultant Kara Stiles—with help from rSmart’s Megan Perrone, Paul Houser, and John DeFonzo—the webinar showed users how to create and conduct a course site in mySakai, rSmart’s free, hosted instance of the rSmart Sakai CLE.
