What differentiates Sakai from other similar products?
Unlike other LMSs, Sakai is actually open source and can actually be customized. We have tailored Sakai to meet our students' and teachers' learning and teaching needs.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love the Lessons tool. It can be used to design a course in the way that best fits the course. It's not a one-size-fits-all - we can really make unique and innovative designs that match the goals of the instructor.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sadly, there are very few institutions using Sakai anymore, so its future is a bit unknown.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Sakai is great for an institution where faculty have specific requests and instructional needs because it can be customized, and it has a wide variety of existing features.
