Sakai 3: What It Is and When To Move To It
When will Sakai 3 be “ready”? When is a good time to migrate? If I’m under pressure to migrate in the short term, what should I do? Should I go to Sakai 2 and migrate later?

Using a wiki to document Isaak, Brock University’s Sakai-Based LMS
"The web is the best tool for infinite access to the same resource and to that end the CTLET look to Wikis to document things like WebCT, Sakai/Isaak, Brock University on iTunes U, etc. This decision to use a wiki was because of the constantly evolving nature of these teaching tools and the scarce resources of the Centre: It was just more timely to write-up articles that explain things or to write a how-tos that were sufficient and then post them. "

Who Is Using Sakai & Moodle
"Up till now, I've always felt publicly available information about who is using Sakai has been inaccurate, erring on the side of undercounting, while Moodle's published usage statistics have always seemed unbelievably high and in need of a lot of interpretation. "
Teaching Teachers to Use Blended Learning
"Pedagogically, CSU Interact supports a social constructivist approach to e-learning, which suggests that learning is a social process and that students construct meaning from their own experiences."
LMS or SNS?
"To survive, LMS vendors will need to transform their offerings on the social network model of Facebook. ELGG is an excellent alternative to an LMS, but most organizations are not yet willing to accept a network-centric tool as an alternative to Moodle."
