Road Trip
Big chunk of the ed tech and multimedia staff at MIT got on a minibus and took a road trip down to Yale today. This was a reciprocal visit, the Yalies had come to see us a few months ago. We talked about Sakai and uPortal, of course, since both schools are involved in that work. Yale is already piloting Sakai and plans to pilot another 100 classes this Fall - much larger pilot than MIT is planning.
One benefit of the trip were seeing the way their teams work, reinforcing some professional contacts. I'm very interested in the work going on at Yale's library and I got sneak peak at some proposals in that area. It was also fun to have a change of pace, and spend a few hours driving around in the nerd bus with our team.
