  14. Practice : level 1 • Resources • Ask more than storage of documents • Control yourself their use/date of availability… • Problems when hiding • Communications • Mail/announcements… • Chat, forum: seldom used except for distance learning • Pedagogical path: Melete • A fundamental tool but poorly integrated into Sakai • Need for a more sophisticated one 11th Sakai Conference - June 15-17, 2010

  15. Practice: level 2 • Tests and quizzes • Use of various templates • Problems for final exams • A very appreciated tool • Assignments • A very popular tool • Drop box (sometimes instead of assignments!) • Calendar 11th Sakai Conference - June 15-17, 2010

  16. Practice: level 3 • More sophisticated tests • Gradebook • Podcast: problem to control space for users • Wiki, blog? • Web pages… • …. 11th Sakai Conference - June 15-17, 2010
