Hot Teams at Penn State

Blackboard’s Response to Open Source: Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt
"As I noted recently, the University of North Carolina (a Blackboard customer) reported highly favorable results of their pilot study of Sakai, with an outcome of further investigation into Sakai as a full replacement of Blackboard as their primary LMS.
