Sakai Project Sites Migration Information
Sakai Project Site Migration
OWL Brightspace is Western’s new Learning Management System, serving as a central hub for managing and/or hosting content such as academic courses, prototype courses (e.g., sandboxes, reference courses , templates, etc.), training courses, and supplementary academic content. All content is hosted as a ‘course’ in OWL Brightspace.
Some Sakai Project Sites are eligible to migrate their content to OWL Brightspace by April 30, 2026, when access to Sakai will be removed.
Steps to Get Started
1. Review your project site(s)
A current Western (or Affiliate) employee must be assigned to the “Maintain” role in Sakai. Contact the WTS Helpdesk for assistance if you do not have access to make this change. Please delete project sites at any time if they are no longer needed.
Ensure that your project site meets the eligibility requirements for migration.
2. Claim your project site(s).
If you require assistance with migration, please contact the WTS Helpdesk.
