The document discusses opportunities and challenges for the Sakai learning management system (LMS) related to connecting with resources outside the LMS. It notes that everything is moving outside with trends toward personal learning networks and sharing on external sites. The presentation explores how the LMS could better aggregate and integrate these outside resources and connections through mechanisms like notification, discovery, discussion and a sharing loop. The goal is to discuss how the LMS can adapt to changing user behaviors and the movement of content and learning online and outside traditional systems.
