Evaluation
Whether an institution or organization is in the process of implementing, updating, or maintaining Sakai, assessing and evaluating options can impact the success of Sakai. Unicon understands the importance of documenting goals, needs, and wants, and offers an evaluation service to institutions and organizations.
This first-step service provides a snap-shot of where the institution or organization is or to help clarify a need for Sakai. An evaluation session can determine and prioritize the conditions and needs required for a new implementation, update, or customization to an existing Sakai instance. Unicon’s evaluation service includes surveys, reporting, and analysis, all helping institutions and organizations decide their business needs for the LMS. Unicon also provides best practices for evaluation based on functionality, finances, support/maintenance, performance, usability, and security.
Mentoring
General Sakai mentorship affords institutions and organizations access to a Unicon developer/ consultant experienced in working with Sakai. Consultants are made available to assist and mentor staff. Consultants provide general mentorship and consulting support, answer questions, help staff to execute on development and configuration tasks, perform research and produce documentation as requested. Mentorship assists in knowledge transfer to grow an institution’s expertise in the development of the Sakai collaborative and learning environment and for maintaining the Sakai instance.
