    Sakai 3, version 8 - Presentation Transcript

    1. Sakai 3: An Overview
      Michael Korcuska
      Executive Director
      Sakai Foundation
    2. Sakai 3: Why?
      Changing expectations
      Google docs/apps, Social Networking, Web 2.0
      Success of project sites = Sakai beyond courses
      New technologies
      Standards-based, open source projects
      JCR (Jackrabbit)
      Open Social (Shindig)
      Client-side programming
      JavaScript/AJAX
      Fluid Project (fluidproject.org)
      Years of hard-won knowledge
      2
    3. Why Now?
      Proto by Hubert Stoffels

    7. Learning Space Construction
      1
      Photos by Cyprien Lomas
      Really “Scholarly Space”
      Teaching & Learning plus….
      Research, collaboration and portfolios
      Principles
      Embrace participant content creation
      Simple integration of interactive options
      Author(s) control presentation and workflow
    8. Academic Spaces: Building Blocks
      Simple Content Authoring:
      Easy page creation (wiki-like)
      WYSIWYG Editing
      Templates (page and site)
      Versioning
      Enhanced with Academic Functionality
      Interactive Widgets (e.g. assignments & feedback)
      Allows integration of content and activities
      8
    9. Templates
      Templates provide scaffolding for majority of users
      But can be bypassed for advanced needs
      Page Templates
      Sections with (editable) content
      Site Templates
      Predefined pages and dashboards
    10. Everything is Content
      Not just files to share
      Classic “resources” tool in Sakai (of course)
      Discussion post, user profile, test questions
      Taggable, searchable, linkable, portable, shareable
      Unified content repository
      Content not tied to site
      Everything in one storage area
      BUT: Sakai is not a full Content Management System
      No complex approval workflows
      No fancy layout capabilities
      Everyone is an author in Sakai

    11. Content Management

      Site A
      Site B
      Users find things by remembering what site they were in when they saw it.

    12. Content Management

      Tags: System, Organizational & User
      Permissions: Who has access, under what conditions
      Smart Folders
      Search
      12
    13. Academic Networking
      Academic Networking
      People are important, but “friends” aren’t enough
      Related content is also relevant, but not the whole story
      Activity based
      Who has taken the same classes?
      Who is reading the same articles? Participating in similar discussions?
      13
      3
      Content
      People
    14. Academic Networking
      A platform for exploration
      We aren’t competing with Facebook
      We do believe we need to drive R&D in this area
      Linking networks together
      Sakai to Sakai
      Sakai, Moodle, Blackboard, D2L
      Leveraging existing networks
      Particularly LinkedIn and Facebook
      Sharing profile and activity information
      Creating apps on those platforms

      Groups & Sites managed separately
      Member of a group – People with something in common
      Access to a site– Collection of content & functionality

      • Services need to respond to more customers
      • UX oversight is more complicated
      • Workflows built across services
      • Encourages presentation & service separation
      Workflow
    19. Academic Workflow
      Beyond Tool Silos
      Academic work flows often cross tool boundaries
      Anything can be graded!
      Anything can be discussed!
      This exists in Sakai 2
      But it is too difficult and more needs to be done
      Example: Instructor puts into syllabus an assignment to create a discussionpost that will be graded.
      4 tools for both instructors and students!

      UX & back-end development separated
      Code Quality & Maintenance
      Reliance on other open source efforts
      Increase unit testing
      Easier to install/build
      To improve initial experience for new developers

    29. Using Open Source
      Don’t write our own code
      If we can help it
      Criteria:
      Functionality
      License-compatible open source
      Open standard
      Approachable community
    30. Sakai and Apache
      Sakai 3 Kernel built on Apache Sling
      RESTful web development framework for content management
      Sling incorporates Jackrabbit and Felix
      Everything as content
      Discussion post, User profile information, etc.
      Components put Content into JCR Content store
      Sakai Kernel creates relational indices in DB
      Component doesn’t need to do anything
      Automatic tracking of most events by kernel
      30
    31. Sling Mindset
      Everything as content
      Discussion post, User profile information, etc.
      Components put Content into JCR Content store
      Sakai Kernel creates relational indices in DB
      Component doesn’t need to do anything
      Automatic tracking of most events by kernel
      Philosophy similar to CouchDB
      Will require developer education
    32. JSON
      Sakai Kernel supports JSON microformat
      Components use REST calls to interact with Kernel
      Benefits
      Back-end services stay Java-based
      UX programmers more often skilled in JavaScript
      Easier UX developers can work on Sakai
      Tools like GWT can be used for Java-based UI
      Components can be written using other languages
      32
    33. Community Practices
    34. Community Practices
      Functional Leadership
      Design First
      Minimize Technology Frameworks
      Quality Focused
      Unit (and other) Tests
    35. Timelines and adoption
    36. Timelines

      2009
      2010
      2011
      2012
      2013
      Sakai 2.5
      Sakai 2.6
      Sakai 2.7
      Hybrid
      Mode
      Sakai 3.0
      Official Releases
      Previews
      Sakai 2.8?
    37. Adopting Sakai
      Adopt 2 or 3?
      Not the first question to answer
      First Question:
      Yes! Or probably
      Do you want to be using Sakai (and be in the community) in the long run?
      We can help you figure out how to get there
    38. Path to Sakai
      Straight to 3? Start with 2?
      It Depends!
      What did you expect?
      On what?
      Your production timeline
      Your appetite for “.0” software
      Your functional needs
      Your support model
    39. Adopting 2 or 3?
      Sakai 2.6 or 2.7
      Sakai 2 works well today
      3 doesn’t exist yet
      Sakai 2 will be a good path to Sakai 3
      Bb/WebCT migration to 2 is well known
      Many will be migrating from Sakai 2 to 3
      Straight to Sakai 3
      You don’t have a CMS or you are using something like SharePoint
      Your production timeline is 2012 or later
      You have a very strong preference for Sakai 3
    40. Adopting 2 or 3?
      Maybe the wrong question
      Adopt both!
      Hybrid mode
      Sakai 2 for courses, Sakai 3 for project collaboration
      Gradually move users to Sakai 3
