Sakai Project Site Transition
Project Status: Planning Stages
This migration project will include all active Sakai Project sites that are not Training sites. The goal will be to migrate them to OWL Brightspace, if eligible, and to alternate solutions if not.
Project Phases (Planned)
- Phase 1: Planning and Communication (in progress)
- Phase 2: Information Gathering and Discovery
About this Project
Over 23,000 project sites exist within OWL Sakai. While some project sites are related to, used by, or used like academic course sites, many project sites are not related to supporting the academic mission or the training of staff or students at Western.
All active Sakai project sites will be moving from OWL Sakai. At this time, the project team will make academic adjacent project sites the priority.
- Sakai project sites that ARE eligible to migrate to OWL Brightspace will do so in 2025 (targeted).
- Sakai project sites that are NOT eligible to migrate to OWL Brightspace are the responsibility of the project site owner to move to alternate solutions as soon as possible.
- All project sites must be removed from Sakai by April 30, 2026 when access will be removed.
Which Sakai Project Sites will migrate to OWL Brightspace?
The project team is working on defining which project sites will be eligible to migrate to OWL Brightspace. More information will be coming soon.
