OWL Sakai Migration Projects

About Migration Projects 

Since the OWL Migration Plan began in 2022, this significant project has progressed in phases. In Fall 2024, the OWL Migration Plan successfully completed the Academic Course Migration phase and moved into separate projects to continue the transition from OWL Sakai.

The five main transition projects are:

  • Academic Course Migration (Completed)
  • Western Continuing Studies Course Migration (Completed)
  • Migration of Training Sites Managed by Human Resources (Training managed by Western Human Resources will no longer be available in OWL Sakai starting Friday, March 20, 2026.  Employees will be able to access training in OWL Brightspace beginning Monday, March 23, 2026).

  • Sakai Project Site Transition (In Progress)
  • Sakai Active Research Project Site Transition (after April 30)
