44. Early Work on
Standards
• IMS Learning Tools Interoperability
• Lots of convincing and cajoling (and beer)
• Strategic chess game
• Sakai, Blackboard, Moodle, ...
2009 http://www.vimeo.com/7825070 1:48
48. Note: LTI 1.1 - Public Draft
• Allows a grade to be passed from the tool to the gradebook
• Non-SOAP - simple XML + HTTP protocol with OAuth
• Expect rapid uptake by the market
• Already in Sakai 2.9
52. The Market is Different in 2011
• Vendors are rushing to support IMS standards for Interoperability
• Common Cartridge
• Learning Tools Interoperability
• Standards save everyone money and make them money - expands the
entire market place - interoperability is the "new normal"
53. Instructure: Rapid Penetration
• Instructure Canvas is open source - Affero GPL - to avoid being sued!
• Zero engineering investment in proprietary expansion points for users
• LTI Expansion is perfectly engineered for hosted multi-tenant instance
• Publisher content using IMS Common Cartridge
• We did all the hard work and made this way too easy for Instructure!
54. Sakai 2.9 is Different
• Structured Content is in the core of Sakai in the form of Lesson
Builder
• Leadership in standards compliance IMS LTI, IMS CC, IMS QTI
• Sakai 2.9 is the first version that is a competitive LMS
• Sakai is probably the simplest of the Enterprise LMS systems to learn
• I look forward to watching rSmart, Unicon, Longsight, Edia, exploit 2.9
59. Tactical Opportunity: Sakai CLE 2.9
• WebCT and Angel end-of-life
• Must fight with Moodle, Desire2Learn, and Instructure - commercial
partners will be our combatants
• Need solid conversions
• Advantages: Sakai is not a cloud-only solution, Sakai is the easiest to learn
LMS out there.
60. Book: Teaching With Sakai
• Won't have a picture of a tattoo on the front...
• Emulate "Using Moodle" by Jason Cole
• Imagine a school converting to Sakai and buys a
copy for each of their faculty members
• Should be based on Sakai 2.9
• I would like to have it published by June 2012
61. Strategic Effect: Venture Capital
• Between 1999 and 2010, the LMS marketplace was a village
• Everyone knows everyone
• Changes slowly - Blackboard / Pearson buy folks once in a while
• New level of investment, new tolerance for risk, new pace of innovation
63. Facebook .vs. Google
• Google was founded by an ABD Stanford PhD.
• Google is about amazing technology
• Facebook was founded by a twenty-year-old
• Facebook is about meeting unmet emotional needs
67. Chuck's ToDisrupt List
• Write a "Using Sakai" (2.9) book
• Promote Learning Tools Interoperability 1.1 like
crazy
• Build new Open Source LMS in PHP using grad
students to compete with edmodo.com suitable
for ad-hoc and peer-to-peer learning.
• Build lots of PHP-based learning tools using LTI
