Hi.
Re. “In this episode, Rochelle takes a look at the current state of courseware on campus. Blackboard, Saccai, Moodle – which one does your school use? ”
I think by “Saccai” you are referring to “Sakai” LMS system. See: http://sakaiproject.org/
I love this vision of an open and interoperable Learning environment….thanks Rochelle
Yep, it’s Sakai! Funny, we only ever trade in audio. Will drop an email..
