Build a Sakai/OSP Implementation Plan that Fits your Campus

A day-long, interactive session to craft a Sakai/OSP implementation plan tailored to your institution's characteristics, resources and needs. Each university considering Sakai and/or OSP is distinctive, but to ensure implementation success, each should prepare for issues common to any technology change, and a few issues unique to open/community source applications. Session leaders will help participants begin to develop a detailed implementation plan for their campus.

With co-presenter, Wende Morgaine.
