Sakai Pilot Evaluation Final Report

UNC report on their pilot of Sakai as a replacement for Blackboard. Quote from a faculty member in the report: "Have heard many complaints about Blackboard being kludgy. Sakai is graceful."

The minimal support needed is a good sign of Sakai's overall usability: "First, of the more than 1,000 people using a completely new collaborative learning environment for almost a full year period, we had a total of 264 tickets—the vast majority of which (74%) were for requests to use the system (new sites
and new user accounts)...In summary, from a support perspective, 54 substantive help requests on behalf of more than 1,000 pilot participants over a nearly one-year period was a very positive finding."

    • What if Facebook worked like Blackboard (or pretty much any other LMS)?


      Imagine if every fifteen weeks Facebook:


      • shut down all the groups you belonged to,
      • deleted all your forum posts,
      • removed all the photos, videos, and other files you had shared, and
      • forgot who your friends were.

Course Management Systems and Pedagogy

  • Analysis of how CMSs like Blackboard limit pedagogy and discourage constructivism. One point is that the default organization is often by content areas rather than time, forcing an artificial structure on a syllabus that usually is divided by weeks within a semester.
