After setting up your SAM course, create links from SakaiĀ® to activities or other content in SAM.
Before adding links to SAM activities, make sure your SAM course is set up the way you want it.
- Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your SAM course.
- Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due
dates, point
values, and grade categories.
Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule
for due dates and times.
