9. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION

10. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION “UCT decided to move to open source in 2004, migrating from WebCT & a home-grown system. Open source offers the advantages of flexibility & avoids the risks of vendor lock-in & escalating license costs. We were attracted to Sakai by the size & expertise of the community around it.” Stephen Marquard, Learning Technologies Coordinator, University of Cape Town Stephen Marquard, Learning Technologies Coordinator, University of Cape Town Vula, University of Cape Town

11. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION “Stanford has written about 20% of the code in Sakai. What we have received in return is five times what we have put in, a tremendous return on investment. The value of community source is very real to us.” Lois Brooks, Director of Academic Computing, Stanford University Lois Brooks, Director of Academic Computing, Stanford University Coursework, Stanford University

12. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION “Ninety percent of Sakai is used as a complement to the classroom, ten percent is blended & distance learning. Acceptance has been great, by students & instructors alike.” Feliz Gouveia, Centro do Recursos Multimediaticos, Universidade Fernando Pessoa Feliz Gouveia, Centro do Recursos Multimediaticos, Universidade Fernando Pessoa Universidade Virtual, UFP

13. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION "Small liberal arts colleges have a tendency to think of themselves as a group apart; that our technology needs & culture are wholly different than large institutions; that we don't have the staffing or expertise necessary for participation in this type of open source community. We've found much more in common than not with colleagues from other Sakai institutions. The issues we all encounter tend to scale down to our level.” Mike Osterman, Middleware Analyst, Whitman College CLEo, Whitman College

14. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION “The University of Michigan has worked with Sakai from its inception in order to maintain control of its information destiny with respect to teaching, learning, research and collaboration. We expect Sakai not only to save us money but also to allow us to predict and influence the future of collaborative activity and information across the academy.” Joseph Hardin, University of Michigan Ctools, University of Michigan 40,000 users Ctools, University of Michigan 40,000 users

15. Why Choose Sakai? THE VALUE PROPOSITION “Sakai makes good business sense for Portfolio4u. We are an application service provider. So with Sakai our schools get high-quality & functionally rich software. More importantly, Community Source lets us collaborate with our customers to involve them in the future direction of the software." Jim Doherty, Director, Portfolio4u b.v. Portfolio4u, Sakai Commercial Affiliate

16. Why Choose Sakai?
