"Unlike Learning Management Systems, Sakai turns students into active learners and contributors, and the instructor into a facilitator. The instructor activates tools and gives students, or groups of students, permissions to use them as they like; the instructor does not have to be an expert in the tools. This is just the start of the difference between Sakai and LMSs."

As Marist began to look at Sakai it established five core “evaluation criteria” against which to assess and benchmark it with regards to two important questions: (1) Was Sakai the right strategic solution for the College?; and (2) If so, what was the appropriate timeline and transition strategy to move the institution to Sakai? These evaluation criteria were broken down into five primary categories: Functionality Requirements, Support Requirements, Sakai Community Health, Reliability/Scalability, and Innovation Drivers.
