Bringing Courses Online, Open-Source Style
A growing number of colleges are encouraging professors to post syllabi and notes on Sakai, an open-source program that organizes course records and other ephemera. More than 60 institutions are now experimenting with the software, which was designed—and is continually updated—by programmers at universities across the country.
At Yale University, a test run of the software has drawn cautiously positive reviews. Campus officials are considering adopting the program for all their courses, in part because Sakai promises to be cheaper than its commercial alternatives.
