Individual sakai tool integrations

[profmikegreene]

I am an instructor trying to add the Sakai tools I use to my kit but the Kits/Sakai integration is wholesale which makes me do extra work inside of Sakai and creates an intermediary step for my students before they can access specific materials/tools inside of Sakai.

How might we (the Kits project team) enable specific tools in Sakai to be added to a kit?

Questions

Assumptions

Hypotheses

• The gradebook is a good example to start with. We only want 1 gradebook app and apps integrate with the LMS gradebook via LTI already. The ability to add the gradebook in conjunction with other apps that send grades might be valueable. When an instructor clicks "add Gradescope" a popup that asks "would you also like to add the Sakai gradebook to your kit?"
• some discussion on #30 is relevant

This user story is a bit vague to me. In what way is the access more direct? Is this describing a disaggregation of the Sakai functions into separate apps in learn.duke?

Yes, kind of related to #62. The hypothesis being (IMO) that there are tools in the LMS that would be useful to learning communities (and save us from building our own versions) even if they don't use the LMS wholesale.

Sakai's web content tool is an interesting example, we could use that for #39, even if faculty don't want to use Sakai in any other way for their course.
