A New OWL Is Coming!

Sakai has been selected as Western's new Learning Management System (LMS). As the first phase of implementation, a small pilot is being run in the new OWL. This pilot includes 10-12 courses and allows instructors, students, and the support team to test-drive the interface, tools, and functionality of the new OWL powered by Sakai. This pilot will officially run from January through to April.

Moving forward, a larger pilot will run through the spring and summer, with the goal of having  all courses in September 2012 running on the new OWL platform.   Training and migration support will be available starting in February.  More information about the new OWL and the progress of the OWL Flight Plan can be found at http://webct.uwo.ca/owlflightplan/index.html.
