Title:Dynamics of Supporting Sakai Through Local and Global Collaboration (ID: ERB0811)
Author(s):David Goodrum (Indiana University), Jan Holloway (Indiana University), Anastasia S. Morrone (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), Lance Speelmon (Indiana University System), and Elizabeth A. Van Gordon (Indiana University Northwest)
Origin:Documents Contributed by ECAR, Research Bulletins (05/27/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

This ECAR research bulletin discusses the adjustments that the Indiana University information technology organization made, and continues to make, in order to support membership in Sakai. It has been said that supporting Sakai can seem like trying to change a tire on a moving car. As co-founder of and active participant in the Sakai collaboration, the effects of IU’s decision—the unexpected, the challenging, and the delightful—are discussed in terms of the intra- and interuniversity realities of highly collaborative efforts.
