Sakai - the Learning Management System at MCIZuklappen
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 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.

How do I enable my microphone to speak in Adobe Connect?
By default, microphone privileges are disabled for participants (students). The host (instructor) must manually assign microphone rights. You can also use the status icon to 'raise your hand'. The instructor can then give you the microphone right. Once you have been given speaking rights, activate the microphone icon (must be green) before you start speaking.
What can I do if my headset does not work / is not recognized?
Some tips that may help you with this problem:
- Make sure you have connected the headset to the PC before opening the Adobe Connect room.
- Make sure your headset is turned on and recognized by your PC (verifiable on your PC under System Settings - Sounds - Playback and Recording).
- Close the Adobe Connect room and re-enter again.
- Do the Audio Setup Wizard in the Adobe Connect room (click the three dots in the upper right corner and then click Speaker/Microphone Setup).
