IAP 2005 Activity


Sakai Project: One year in
Craig Counterman Chief Architect, Stellar Learning Environment
Thu Jan 6, 01-02:00pm, 9-057

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Four universities — MIT, Stanford, University of Michigan, and Indiana University — have joined forces to develop community source software for learning environments. The Open Knowledge Initiative and the uPortal consortium round out the founding Sakai community. UCBerkeley and Foothill-De Anza Community College District have joined as major contributors, along with more than 40 other partner institutions. In fall 2004, the Sakai Project released its first version of open-source collaboration and learning environment (CLE) software. This talk covers the lessons learned in the first year of this groundbreaking effort, the technologies used in the current and future releases, and what the project could mean for MIT.
