2. What is Hierarchy? !   Well, it’s in Sakai 10. !   https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAKDEV/Hierarchy +Service !   The Hierarchy Service supports general storage of hierarchical nodes within Sakai. It can support multiple hierarchies and has a flexible interface which is meant to be generalized and easy to use. !   Put things into a tree !   Can have multiple hierarchies, you will probably only have one.
5. Hierarchy… !   Most often, you are setting up a hierarchy of course sites to map to your institution. !   You can have as many “levels” as you want, and call them whatever you want, as long as the levels are consistent. !   Currently, an item cannot be in more than one place aka cannot be the direct child of more than one hierarchy node.
6. What is Delegated Access? !   Well, it’s also in Sakai 10. !   https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DAC/Delegated +Access+Tool !   Allow some administrative abilities for “other” folks, restrict them to a particular “jurisdiction” !   How do you set it up? Default: School, Department, Subject !   Site Properties! - How do you get those in there anyway? !   And then there is a job to run

9. Evaluation System !   Want to deploy course evaluations more easily. !   https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/longsight/ da_evalprovider/
12. Evaluation System !   The structure of the DA hierarchy is sync’d with the same structure in EvalSys !   The permissions are different though!
15. FYI !   Hierarchy is only used in EvalSys for *assigning* evaluations, not used for reporting. !   Sites can’t be in more than one place in the hierarchy. !   Sometimes structure has to be changed mid-stream !   Questions?
