Morpheus @ MaristSome Sakai UI History

• We started with Sakai 2.2

• We were more focused on content migration than we were on developing a dramatic UI

• We began with a very basic skin

• One for courses another for project sites (Only the image and tool list varied between them)

Morpheus @ MaristSome Sakai UI History continued

• We made minor changes in the UI with each Sakai release

• We added additional synoptic tools to MyWorkspace

• We modified the site information display on MyWorkspace to include a “Marist Alerts” display (MMR vaccination compliance, etc.)

• We started using the Gateway page with 2.9 to provide easy access to documentation and training materials based on the results of a UX study

• Our UI design never really progressed far beyond our original implementation

Morpheus @ MaristPain Points with the Existing UI

• “Can I use my phone to access Sakai?”

• “Will it work on my Galaxy Tab?”

• “Why do I get text boxes instead of a WYSIWYG edit box?”

• “Can you create me a personalized skin for my course that meets in 20 minutes?”

• “I don’t think the PDA skin is working properly. Only the log in page seems to work for me.”

• What do you mean you are planning to run a course using iPad Minis?

Morpheus @ MaristWhy Marist is for Morpheus

• “All web applications that are written or supported by Marist must be fully responsive.”

• We have seen a dramatic increase in access to our web applications from mobile devices

• We hope to leverage Morpheus across other web applications at Marist

• We feel this is an exciting area where we can contribute to the Sakai Community
