The Sakai Project “The University of Michigan, Indiana University, MIT, Stanford, the u. Portal Consortium, and the Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) are joining forces to integrate and synchronize their considerable educational software into a pre-integrated collection of open source tools. ” “Sakai Project Receives US$2. 4 Million Grant” – December 2003 www. sakaiproject. org 2

Sakai Project Core Universities • Each of the 4 Core Universities Commits – 5+ developers/architects, etc. under Sakai Board project direction for 2 years – Public commitment to implement Sakai – Open/Open licensing – “Community Source” • So, overall project levels – $4. 4 M in institutional staff (27 FTE) – $2. 4 M Mellon Foundation – Additional investment through partners www. sakaiproject. org 3

Sakai Project Deliverables 1. Working Code – CMS/CLE- Collaboration and Learning Environment – Sakai 1. 0 - July 15, 2004 Ø JSR-168 portal (u. Portal 2. 3, 3. x) Ø Course management system – core tools plus Ø Quizzing and assessment tools, [e. Portfolio from OSPI], etc Ø Research collaboration system Ø Modular tools - also pre-integrated to work out of the box 2. Technology Portability Profile Ø Specifications for writing portable software to achieve application ‘code mobility’ among institutions – modular tools and services 3. Synchronized development, adoptions at Michigan, Indiana, MIT, Stanford – Sakai 1. 0 is the next generation for Course. Work, CHEF, Oncourse, Stellar www. sakaiproject. org 4
