While you can upload your syllabus to the “Resources” tool of your site, Sakai has a designated “Syllabus” tool that is by default added to course sites. You can directly add syllabus content (perhaps copy-pasted from a syllabus document) and/or attach documents within the tool.
Step 1: Navigate to the “Syllabus” tool in the lefthand side menu. Select the “Add Item” tab in the top menu.
Step 2: Title the content as appropriate. If you would like to directly add your syllabus content into the Sakai site, you may add or copy-paste material into the “Content” body. If your material is ready for students to view, hit the “Add and Publish” option. If you would like to continue editing, select the “Add” button.
Step 3: If you would like to add an attached document (perhaps you only want to do this and not add content directly), you may do so now via the Add attachments function.
Step 4: If you did not Add and Publish your syllabus content after initially adding it, it will stay hidden from your students until you publish it. You can tell if syllabus content is unpublished if it has “DRAFT” in front of the name and if the eye icon to the right of the title is crossed through. Select this eye icon to publish the content. The DRAFT will disappear and the eye icon will no longer be crossed through- students will now be able to access your syllabus content.
