Needing help

Hello,
I work with the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus.
We have an E-Portfolio project and we are requesting your help.
Originally, we worked with LiveText and TaskStream, but were forced to go
with an open source alternative (for multiple reasons I can explain later).
We are working with Sakai and we understand your project also works with it.

Our IT team has been working on configuring the system and they have
confronted difficulties.
In the meantime, our faculty continues to work on the rubrics and standards,
but are not sure as to how it will look in the system, because it is still
not available to work with.

Is it possible to make arrangements with your University to: 1) help us with
the configuration of Sakai, and 2) see a demonstration of how the rubrics
look like in Sakai.

If it is possible, naturally we will draw up an institutional contract.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Dr. Juan Meléndez
College of Education

There are a few examples in the community library that highlight how
some of the institutions using OSP have configured it.

http://openedpractices.org/practices

If provided, you can download and import matrices, forms, portfolio
templates to recreate much of what each institution created in your
instance of OSP. If you have any questions about how to do it, let us know!

I may be misunderstanding what help you need Juan, but perhaps this  
will help:

Are you looking for a working Sakai instance into which you could load  
your own OSP components to preview them? If so, you could use rSmart's  
Sakai CLE sandbox:
http://www.sakaisandbox.com/

Note that there are some differences between our CLE and the community  
release, although the basic OSP functionality is much the same. Learn  
more at:
http://www.rsmart.com/sakai

If you are looking for examples of other OSP components that you can  
also try out in the sandbox (or other Sakai instance), you can check  
out rSmart's Portfolio Showcase that currently has three distinct  
examples:
http://www.rsmart.com/portfolios

As Sean suggested, you can also find other OSP component examples in  
the community's OpenedPractices.org repository under Teaching &  
Learning Practices:
http://openedpractices.org/practices

and Teaching & Learning Resources:
http://openedpractices.org/resources
