College of the Redwood's Barry Tucker, the Student Development Advisor for Distance Education and Veterans students, has created a unique project site for supporting veterans at College of the Redwoods. This project site is not only used to send out information to students who are eligible for veteran's benefits, but is also a site for collaborating with the veteran's advisor at the local state university. This site is also used to connect to other veteran's support agencies. Creating a project site like this can be a catalyst for creating collaboration. The Distance Education department supports these efforts and recognizes that this is also a way to introduce students to tools that are used in online courses such as the Discussion Forums, Messages and MailTool, etc. Participants in this session will learn how the site was created, strategies for collaborating with other institutions and agencies, and how Sakai can be used to address the special needs of the veteran's students.
