The LMS committee has accepted an invitation to join the NITLE Sakai Pilot Project. This project is a collaboration between NITLE, Southwestern University, Mt Holyoke College, University of Richmond and Allegheny College.
The pilot allows Allegheny to test drive Sakai, receive training and share experiences with similar institutions. The pilot runs from the end of March 2007 through December 31, 2007.
The LMS committee is taking advantage of two consortial opportunities to take a closer look at Sakai CLE.
Recently the group completed an application for a collaborative pilot through NITLE. If accepted planning and training will be conducted in spring 2007 with courses piloted in fall 2007. The group is optimistic that they will be invited to participate in the pilot but will not receive official notice, one way or the other, until the middle of the month.
In April two members of the group will travel to a NERCOMP special interest group meeting on Sakai.
