Collaborators: General LMS Comments

It's nearly impossible to come up with a one-size-fits-all application for UNC-CH. However, Sakai is a very capable successor to Blackboard, plus it has the added benefit of meeting a variety of other needs (committees, working groups, research collaboration, administrative functions) with one tool.

It's important to have a tool like Sakai. So much collaborative work goes on that one needs a tool to keep it organized.

Where possible, I think that the University should be using and supporting software that is free and open-source, such as Sakai.
