Longsight’s customized support programs will help your campus get the most out of Sakai. We’ll help you explore Sakai, set it up on campus or host Sakai at one of our modern data centers with world-class reliability and a service level agreement to match. We will train your staff and faculty and integrate Sakai with your local authentication services and student information systems. We will make sure you get what you need at every step along the way. Our comprehensive support protects your options - no strings attached!
SAKAI AS A SERVICE
Our Sakai as a Service program offers affordable production hosting and support in a comprehensive application services provider agreement, providing access to a dedicated and branded instance of Sakai with no long-term investments that allow you to focus on learning through collaboration, course management, e-portfolios, lesson building and dozens of other tools created by the higher education community.
It’s strategic for your faculty and students to have access to a pedagogically sound, flexible and reliable learning management system. It’s less strategic for you to own and operate the servers, replace them periodically, manage operating system patches and install Sakai upgrades and new tools. Costs range from $7 to $10 per student per year for unlimited number of courses. Longsight’s Sakai as a Service program lets us focus on our core competency while your campus focuses on learning outcomes and teaching success. And we can cut your learning management system costs by 30-80% in the process.
SAKAI MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Through Longsight’s Management Services, you’ll have comprehensive support for your local Sakai installation with options for server management, onsite and online training and full tier 2 level support.
Our Sakai Management Services include pre-implementation planning, training implementation, feature additions, Sakai upgrades, tier 2 and 3 problem resolutions, bug diagnosis, reporting and solution, performance monitoring, faculty/student assessments and optionally, new tool development and integration with campus systems. And our support is available 24x7x365!
SAKAI AUTHENTIC PILOTS
Our Sakai pilot programs provide access to a fully supported and branded instance of Sakai so that your faculty and students can use Sakai in for-credit courses as part of an authentic assessment of the tools. Pilot today to understand your choices tomorrow.
If you’re still considering Sakai as your campus’ learning management system, Longsight can help your stakeholders - your faculty and students - engage in a three- to six-month pilot. We’ll provide access to a custom-branded Sakai Authentic Pilot for up to 400 accounts at no charge if you sign up for one day of on-site training conducted by Longsight staff who are experienced faculty and trainers.
