The time and context is ancient.

2012Migration complete

Consider: If you gave birth to a child in 2007, when she takes her first breath, the iPhone is released. By the time she sets foot on the school bus for kindergarten, the iPad retina display is released, e-books are common, and instructors are teaching online courses to classes of 160,000 students. That’s lot of change in 5 short years!
10
![Page 11: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
At the same time, Sakai at UNC was a twinkle in our eye in 2007 and 5 years later, we are completing our migration.
11
![Page 12: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The rate of (rapid) technological change versus the (slower) rate of institutional change creates a natural tension.
12
![Page 13: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Not only are there rapid technological changes affecting our heroes and heroines, but there are other dark forces...
13
![Page 14: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The rising cost of education calls into question access and value.
14
![Page 15: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Year after year of budget cuts have left state-funded institutions reeling.
15
![Page 16: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And there is more wickedness lurking about.
16
![Page 17: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
There is an abundance of freely available, high-quality content.
17
![Page 18: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
And while we thought we were taking an innocent walk in the woods, we now realize that we’re in the thick of it. Education today is complicated and we can’t walk out the same way we walked in.
18
![Page 19: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Further, learners today know how to collaborate online quickly, cheaply & instantly if they wish.
19
![Page 20: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
They expect to be able to participate fully in their communities - producing & consuming.
20
![Page 21: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
These changes can be unsettling and leave us questioning our roles as educators.
21
![Page 22: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Our team shares this unease. We are responsible for the campus learning system - arguably the most important academic system for higher ed institutions. There has been dramatic change in this realm as well.

This is a snapshot of a few selected systems.
However, since April 2012 there has been a dramatic increase of platforms released for large scale online courses.
New technologies become “the new normal” and all of our expectations are shaped by them.
Everything is changing...
24
![Page 25: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Change is often hard to accept. It can be scary. Some might believe the best approach is to “hunker down” and hope the storm passes.
25
![Page 26: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
But look around. Doing nothing won’t get you out of the forest. And going back doesn’t appear to be a good option, either. Looks like we need to build a path forward...
26
![Page 27: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We can do it!
27
![Page 28: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This is one of the fundamental reasons we moved to Sakai. While we can’t control the rate of tech change outside, we can manage the evolution of our learning platform in ways that are fiscally and pedagogically sustainable and responsible.

There’s no place like home. We have the energy, creativity & material resources needed to be successful!

We are asking you to be the hero of this story and help us build a path out of the woods.

It will require your participation.

And one of the wonderful things about community is that everyone has a role to play.

1We propose 3 things: We wish to form a oversight group of faculty, staff & students to review & improve Sakai.
34
![Page 35: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2We want to contribute to a culture of learning & experimentation @ UNC by piloting new techs that show educational promise.

![Page 36: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3We want to collect, publish and share data about our system and pilots to inform our campus discussions and debates.

Join us on this journey.It’s going to be fun!

Well, (spoiler alert) it won’t always be fun. There will be monsters & threats at times.
38
![Page 39: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
And there will be days when you just don’t have the energy to slay another dragon.

But we know you will be successful - because you already have a record of it.

That said, you’re clever. You were born on a Sunday but not last Sunday. We have had some problems.

Performance
At times, Sakai was slow. We fixed that.
45

Performance
Managing large classes
We are working with faculty who are teaching large classes (hundreds of students) to identify problems & solutions.

If you can stick with it, you will see a return on your investment of effort.
The dawn is breaking...49

We are committed to doing all we can to support you & to improve Sakai!

We only have this last ambiguous phase before the migration is complete.
51
![Page 52: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Then we can build our path out of the woods.
52
![Page 53: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Once out, we can build bridges and new structures to support learning at UNC!
53
![Page 54: Future of Sakai @ UNC: 2013 and beyond](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5416cdbb7bef0a50738b6e14/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
It is your turn to take center stage & help us shape the future direction of Sakai
in 2013 and beyond.
