CSU Vision for Integrated Solution
Easy provisioning of centrally developed Subject/Course resources
Enabling Academics to contribute items from EQUELLA to various collections
Enabling Academics to easily link a range of resources to EQUELLA from Sakai

EQUELLA Tool facilities
Links with EQUELLA items are stored in a folder within the resources tool
The tool name and resource folder name can be customised at a global level.

Recent EQUELLA tool advances
Ability to stealth tool from students view only output is shown, requested by CSU
Recently contributed items list for easy linkage, part of a new EQUELLA release

“ EQUELLA allows us to have one repository for the whole institution . Through the concept of collections we can organise, secure and personalise access to content for all constituents of our institution both internal like the library, research and eLearning departments as well as external” Professor David Morris, Coventry University

EQUELLA Demonstration AuSakai 2009 Sam Parker & Dan McFadyen

Current state of CSU Solution
Moving toward rollout of various collections, including a major production collection
EQUELLA Sakai tool will be a pilot tool only selectable by academics when part of a pilot

Future evolution
Thinking around push not just pull technology for provisioning EQUELLA resources
EQUELLA allows a resource selector item where an item can contain links to other items, we are exploring how to harness this to expedite the provisioning process

Future evolution (cont.)
If these resource selector items could contain metadata about a particular cohort of students, be monitored and picked up by the Sakai tool or intermediate process it would allow for:
An EQUELLA item to record what was given to students at any point in time (to the version)
Auto resource population of a Sakai site without requiring instructor access

Planned Enhancements to EQUELLA-Sakai Integration
Quick submit to EQUELLA from within Sakai
Enhanced item version selection – latest or specific version
Multiple object add through a single process
Tighter integration with Sakai 3.0
