Sakai - the Learning Management System at MCI Click to collapse
Sakai - Part of the eCampus at MCI
Sakai is the MCI's central learning management system (LMS) and is used for a number of different functions in your studies.
Each course has its own course site in Sakai.
In your online studies, you will be on Sakai regularly to download your learning materials, discuss with others in the forum, read messages from lecturers and send your own to you, possibly take online test, or even work on various assignments. Your written exam papers will also be submitted through Sakai.
You can find your courses in the "Site Directory" menu item in the upper right corner, next to your name.
In particular, we also point out the 'Help' feature in Sakai, through which you can find immediate answers and support to any important questions. This will help you to overcome any hurdles quickly and efficiently.

eduExaminer - eAssessments at MCI
eAssessments form a fundamental part of studying at MCI. They help ensure that teaching and associated examinations are modern, innovative and relevant to real life. To guarantee the reliable functioning of the necessary software, certain minimum technical requirements apply to studying at MCI.
eduExaminer is the software used for examinations at MCI. eduExaminer's OnePager gives students an initial overview of how to log in to the software and use its key features.
BYOD-Exams
To make online exams as familiar an experience as possible for students, some of these are conducted in a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) setting. This means that students can take online exams on their own laptops. While BYOD has many advantages, it also entails a high degree of personal responsibility. Before each BYOD exam, students must ensure that their device has all the necessary functions and resolve any technical issues well in advance. The BYOD Info Hub provides students with guidance and support in this regard.
