Site Setup Tutorial

Publish Site

Purpose

The last step in setting up your course site is a simple task. Instructors must publish their Sakai site before students can access it or receive announcements from the site.

Site Design Tips

The general recommendation is to publish the Sakai site for a course at least 24 hours before the start of the term. It is also a good practice to send an announcement from the published Sakai site, welcoming students to the course, preparing them for the first class meeting, and letting them know the Sakai site is now available.
