SmartSite (Sakai)
Three sets of asynchronous conference sessions will run through UC Davis's SmartSite, a buildout of Sakai. For access to these sessions, you need to register for the Online Portion of Computers and Writing 2009. After you register, you will receive two emails from SmartSite: the first directs you to a guest registration process, the second confirms your registration. Within 24 hours of the second email (usually shorter), you will have access to SmartSite.
If you have questions about gaining access to SmartSite for Computers and Writing 2009, email cwwhithaus <at> ucdavis <dot> edu
Once you have a SmartSite account, you may log in at http://smartsite.ucdavis.edu
