Welcome to the CSU Interact Website
The CSU Interact Website brings together information on many aspects of the Interact implementation at CSU.
CSU Interact is designed to provide an online, collaborative, scholarly environment for CSU to support research and project collaboration, learning and teaching and professional development. CSU Interact is based on the Sakai framework. Sakai is developed cooperatively by a world wide collection of higher education institutions using the community source model.
The scholarly environment has been designed with the following characteristics:
- Technical and functional Integration
- Consistency
- Silo-less – can operate across organisational boundaries;
- Supportive of Ad-hoc usage
- Single point of access
For a fuller description of this integrated environment please see "The Online Scholarly Environment" (word.doc)
This site introduces visitors to many aspects of the implementation including explanations of CSU Interact and Sakai, news about the Pilots and the various tools that have been introduced in 2008.
The Director of the Centre for Enhancing Learning and Teaching (CELT) Associate Professor Marian Tulloch gave a series of presentations on these initiatives to staff across the University in May 2007. A copy of the Powerpoint presentation that accompanied these talks can be found in the Resources section.
This site will be regularly updated with the latest news and developments
