Marist College Sakai Case Study

I just finished listening to a recorded webinar where Josh Baron from Marist College discussed his journey from Sakai (open source) skeptic to a campus advocate, Sakai Foundation board member, and leader in the Sakai teaching & learning community.

Real, documented stories about Sakai have been few and far between to date. There are lots of successes but few have been able to slow down long enough to document their journey in a way others can easily consume. The best way to learn about the real success stories has been to attend the conferences. I'm glad to see the Marist story documented, and I'm eager to see more. It should provide a very valuable perspective for the growing number of institutions looking for a better alternative to Blackboard and other proprietary systems. Thanks Josh, this is a great contribution.
