Fellow

Sakai Fellows bring a wealth of expertise to the community in the areas of software design and development, pedagogical and teaching practices and community advocacy. Starting in 2008, a total of six Sakai Fellows will be selected annually for a one-year term by a small committee composed of Sakai community members. Fellows will receive a modest stipend to help defray the cost of Sakai-related activities, e.g., travel, speaking engagements, equipment and professional development.
