Support Directions for Open Source Course Management Systems: Liberal Arts Colleges and the Sakai Project

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Support Directions for Open Source Course Management Systems: Liberal Arts Colleges and the Sakai Project (ID: MWR0410)
Author(s):Joseph Hardin (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor), Nancy Millichap (Great Lakes Colleges Association), and Scott E. Siddall (Denison University)
Origin:Presented at Midwest Regional Conferences (2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:The idea of course management systems intrigues many small liberal arts colleges, but commercial solutions may be too expensive. Do open source products like Michigan's CHEF or Stanford's CourseWork offer a solution? Ohio liberal arts colleges, including Denison University, are piloting these systems, and the Midwest Instructional Technology Center ran CHEF in support of courses at Earlham College. Presenters will show how such systems work for liberal arts colleges and how Michigan, Stanford, and other institutions developing course management systems are joining forces in the Sakai Project for a closer alignment of their environments. The Sakai Project will also address issues of support for these open source systems.
