Sakai is the learning management system for Pomona and the Claremont Colleges.
Teaching with Sakai
For every course at Pomona, a course site is automatically generated before the start of each semester. This provides faculty and students an online hub where course materials and assignments are accessible at all times. Also, Sakai at the Claremont Colleges currently supports 32 learning management tools—including online quizzing, video streaming, and discussion forums—and is compatible with many third-party educational tools. This makes Sakai a convenient and multifaceted tool for both students and faculty.
Get Started
To log in, go to Sakai. You will be taken to the Claremont Colleges Central Authentication Service (CAS). Log in with your Pomona College user ID and password.
Once you are logged in, your best starting point is the Sakai Info-POM site, which is linked in the menu of all your courses. We created this site as a place for you to access Sakai training materials, learn about web-enhanced course design, find answers to frequently asked questions, and try out different tools in Sakai to gain a sense of the student experience.
