+ Educational Culture & Values
+ Similar challenges (in higher ed)
+ Transparency
+ The players - Sakai foundation, Sakai board, other CU groups

“C” is for…?+ ‘Course’ or ‘Content’
Management System (CMS)+ A Collection of tools+ Collaboration+ Communication+ asd
Rules+ Rules: ‘make’ a tool
+ Who creates, changes, approves, delivers?
+ How are materials received & used?
![Page 8: An Instructors’ Guide to Sakai Presenters: Dan Beeby and Jonah Bossewitch Sakai is an open-source course management system and a likely candidate to power](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d445503460f94a20679/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Essence of the engagement?
+ Comprehensive collection of student work over time = Portfolio?
+ Communication, structured or free form = Discussion? Chat?
+ Course administration/organization = Syllabus, calendar, announcements?
+ Collaboration, sharing work = groups? Wiki?

Tools can be “interpreted”
+ Looks same, functionally different:
vs.
+ e.g. Test vs. Survey+ a.k.a. eight different
ways to use the same tool
+ Looks different, functionally equivalent:
vs.
+ e.g. Assignments section vs. syllabus (to deliver assignments)
+ a.k.a eight ways to do the same thing

Purposeful Choices:
+ The tool and rules affect how the tool will be used in class+ Autonomy group work+ Self-guided directed

Where is this going?
+ Constantly growing, improving
+ Broad community of adopters
+ Interesting new tools, tons of potential
+ CW aging (true? Stay tuned…)
+ Discovery, pilot, testing, adoption?
+ We’re here to help
